Djokovic faces a tough clash against Britain's James Ward, whose exploits in the Davis Cup suggest that when inspired by a partisan home crowd he could push the world number one harder than his lowly world ranking of 177 might suggest.

French Open champion Garbine Muguruza then follows, the 2015 Wimbledon runner-up getting into action against Italy's Camila Giorgi.

Roger Federer's opening match against Guido Pella then follows.

Over on Court 1 Venus Williams is in action early, followed by Kei Nishikori.

Following that is Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber, seeded fourth, up against home favourite Laura Robson.

Robson actually beat Kerber at Wimbledon a few years ago - since then, however, Robson has been racked by injuries while Kerber has become a grand slam winner.

Britain's Laura Robson returns to Russia's Evgeniya Rodina during their women's singles first round match on day two of the 2015 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon, southwest London, on June 30, 2015
