The two-year wait for Wimbledon is almost over with the Grand Slam beginning on Monday. The draw has been done and it is set to be a hugely entertaining two weeks with Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Nick Kyrgios, Serena Williams, Johanna Konta, Coco Gauff, Ash Barty and plenty more all in action.

Andy Murray has been drawn Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili in the first round of Wimbledon as he prepares to make his Wimbledon return after four years away.

The two-time Wimbledon champion has not played at Wimbledon since 2017 due to injury and last year's edition being cancelled as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Roger Federer takes on world number 42 Adrian Mannarino. It's a good draw for Federer on his comeback from injury as he holds a 6-0 head-to-head record against the Frenchman.
