Tennis:Top-seeded Roger Federer will open his defence of the men's singles title at Wimbledon against Alejandro Falla of Colombia. Falla is ranked 65 in the world and has never progressed beyond the second round at the All England Club.
Federer, who is second in the world rankings behind Rafael Nadal, is targeting a seventh title. Nadal, Wimbledon champion in 2008 and a three-time finalist, faces Kei Nishikori of Japan in his first-round match.
British hope Andy Murray will meet Jan Hajek of the Czech Republic. The fourth-seeded Scot, who reached the semi-finals year, will be playing Hajek for the first time.
Hajek, 26, has made just one appearance at Wimbledon, losing in the first round 2007.
Defending women’s champion and top seed Serena Williams has been drawn against Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal. Larcher de Brito is ranked 148 in the world and failed to progress beyond the second round in her Wimbledon debut last year.
British wildcard Laura Robson has been handed a tough opening match after being drawn against fourth seed Jelena Jankovic.
The 16-year-old Robson won the 2006 Wimbledon Junior Girls’ Championship at the age of 18 but was knocked out in the first round last year.
