British number one Andy Murray has been drawn against world number 47 Nikolay Davydenko in the first round at Wimbledon.
Murray has a decent record against the Russian, winning five of their previous nine meetings, but goes into Tuesday's game on the back of three warm-up defeats in a row on grass. The Scot has once again been drawn in the same half of the draw as Rafael Nadal, who has beaten Murray at the semi-final stage in each of the last two years. The pair are due to meet in the last four once again this time around. The top half of the draw sees defending champion Novak Djokovic face Juan Carlos Ferrero in the first round on Monday, while Roger Federer also faces a Spanish opponent in the form of Albert Ramos. Djokovic is set to meet six-time Wimbledon winner Federer in the the last four. Other first round highlights include Jo-Wilfried Tsonga against former world number one Lleyton Hewitt, while Britain's Jamie Baker will face American Andy Roddick.
