Wimbledon top seed Iga Swiatek was handed a tricky first-round test at Wimbledon as the world number one was drawn against American Sofia Kenin.
The five-time Grand Slam champion, looking for her first Wimbledon title, will need to quickly get up to speed on the grass courts against the 2020 Australian Open champion.
Czech reigning champion Marketa Vondrousova, seeded sixth and in the same quarter of the draw as Swiatek, will open against Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.
Second seed Coco Gauff will play in an all-American first round tie against Caroline Dolehide while third seed Aryna Sabalenka takes on American Emina Bektas.
Some other notable first-round draws in the women's singles include a clash of Grand Slam champions as Victoria Azarenka faces Sloane Stephens while British wildcard Emma Raducanu is up against Russian 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.
In the men's draw, ff Andy Murray is fit to play in the singles, he will begin against Czech Tomas Machac.
The good news for the Scot is that he was drawn in the opposite half to defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and will therefore start on Tuesday rather than Monday, giving him an extra day to try to recover from back surgery.
Alcaraz, who is seeded to meet world number one Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals, opens against qualifier Mark Lajal, while Sinner could face former finalist Matteo Berrettini in round two.
Novak Djokovic, who appears to have recovered sufficiently from knee surgery, is the second seed and opens against Czech qualifier Vit Kopriva.
