TIL Desk Sports/ Top seed and defending champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia will kick off his Wimbledon run against Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, according to the draw conducted on Friday. Eight-time champion Roger Federer of Switzerland, second seed, will start his bid for record-extending 21st Grand Slam title against Lloyd Harris of South Africa.
Spaniard Rafael Nadal, a two-time champion at All England Club, who has been seeded No 3 despite being world No 2 is set to take on Yuichi Sugita of Japan. In the second round, Nadal, who has recently won his record extending 12th French Open title, could face Nick Kyrgios of Australia, who could be a tricky opponent on grass court.
Kyrgios has won the lone grass court match he played against Nadal in the 2014 Wimbledon last-16 and he also prevailed over the Spaniard in the most recent encounter between both in the 2019 Mexican Open round of 16. The Australian is set to play his countryman Jordan Thompson on their opener.
