MATCH OF THE DAY

Andy Murray (GBR) [1] v Alexander Bublik (KAZ)

It’s all eyes on Andy to start with at Wimbledon. The Briton kicks off proceedings on Centre Court, but despite being world No 1 and the defending champion, the 30-year-old is not regarded as the favourite for the tournament.

That honour falls to Roger Federer, and Murray’s recent injury problems will be monitored closely in his encounter against lucky loser Bublik. It may well be a breeze, but expect plenty of focus to be around his fitness when he walks out on Monday afternoon.

POTENTIAL UPSET OF THE DAY

Daniil Medvedev (RUS) v Stan Wawrinka (SUI) [5]

A first round exit at Queen’s highlighted Wawrinka’s struggles on grass. The powers that be can see a shock in the making by putting this clash on Centre Court – the 21-year-old Russian is on the rise, and a three-set defeat to Grigor Dimitrov at Queen’s is nothing to be scoffed at. This would easily be the biggest scalp of Medvedev’s career, so Wawrinka will have to come out all guns blazing.

BRITWATCH

Murray will entertain the crowd on Centre Court, while Jo Konta will attempt to win just her second ever Wimbledon match on Court One. The British No 1 does not favour the grass, and a recent spine injury could spell trouble for Konta.

Elsewhere, Britain’s Cameron Norrie faces 12th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga first up on Court Two, while Heather Watson’s clash against Maryna Zanevska is the final game on Court Two.

Laura Robson is first on Court 18, where she will play Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil.
