Jason Kubler, who won three matches last year to qualify for the main draw, faces a tough task against No.2 seed Henri Laaksonen of Switzerland.

Also drawing a tough first-round opponent is John-Patrick Smith, who finds himself up against Nicolas Mahut. Smith, like Kubler, also successfully qualified for Wimbledon 12 months ago.

So too did Alex Bolt, who returns to Roehampton this year ranked No.143 – 62 places higher than last year – and who plays Yannik Sinner first up.
