Andy Murray will begin his Wimbledon challenge with a first-round meeting against Daniel Gimeno-Traver.

The Scot, who warmed up in style with victory at Queen's, is seeded four and his quest will begin with a meeting with a Spanish baseliner ranked 56 in the world.

Defending champion and No. 1 seed Rafael Nadal will play Michael Russell in the first round and he is on course for a semi-final clash with Murray.

The No. 2 and No.3 seeds Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are on collision course at the semi-final stage in the other half of the draw.

A quirk of the draw has pitted John Isner against Nicolas Mahut. The pair famously played out an 11-hour marathon last year.

British wildcard Dan Evans will have to negotiate his way past Florian Mayer if he is to reach round two, while James Ward will face Michael Llodra.

In the women's draw, No. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki has been pitted against Arantxa Parra Santonja.

Defending champion Serena Williams is seeded seven after a year of injury troubles and will face Aravane Rezai in round one.

Britain will be guaranteed a representative in round two of the women's singles, as Naomi Broady will open up against Anne Keothavong.

Laura Robson plays Angelique Kerber, while Emily Webley-Smith takes on Klara Zakopalova.

Heather Watson will tackle Mathilde Johansson, Katie O'Brien takes on Kimiko Date Krumm and Elena Baltacha will have to wait for her opponent after being pulled out against a qualifier.

Baltacha will not take her task for granted, as she said: "You kind of have to be ready for anything. I never, ever underestimate qualifiers because I've qualified for slams myself, and you really have to tough it out to do that.

"I'm coming into Wimbledon playing well and in really good form. My preparation has been perfect so we just have see what happens from here."
