Wimbledon 2021 draw: Djokovic to face Draper in opener, Serena Williams takes on Sasnovich
Djokovic is just one grand slam title away from matching Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s record tally of 20 after winning the Australian Open and French Open this year.
The world number one will take on 19-year-old Draper, a quarter-finalist at Queen’s Club last week, in his first match at SW19 for two years after the 2020 championships were called off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Djokovic faces a potential quarter-final against Andrey Rublev, while Federer could come up against second seed Daniil Medvedev in last eight.
First up for eight-time Wimbledon champion Federer is an encounter with Adrian Mannarino, while injury-plagued two-time winner Andy Murray will start his home major against the 24th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili.
Stefanos Tsitsipas, beaten by Djokovic in a thrilling French Open final this month, has been drawn to face American Frances Tiafoe in round one of a tournament that gets under way on Monday (June 28).
