Emma Raducanu, Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Novak Djokovic are among the players who have learned their fates for the Indian Wells Masters in California.
The first round of the next Masters tournament of 2025 commences on Wednesday following a few days of qualifying, and the draw took place late Monday night UK time.
Former US Open champion Raducanu - who will make her first appearance since a harrowing stalking ordeal at the Dubai Tennis Championships - has been drawn to face Japan's Moyuka Uchijima in round one.
The ex-British number one - currently ranked 55th in the world - sits just three places below world number 52 Uchijima in the rankings and eased to a 6-2 6-4 at the 2022 Korea Open during their first and only meeting to date.
However, should Raducanu make it two for two against Uchijima, her reward will be a daunting second-round battle with Coco Gauff, seeded third as she seeks to storm to glory in front of the home crowd.

As the 25th seed, British women's number one Boulter received a bye into the second round, and she will face the winner of the first-round clash between Irina-Camelia Begu and Ann Li.
Meanwhile, British men's number one Draper - who was recently beaten in the Qatar Open final by Andrey Rublev - has also bypassed the first-round stage on account of his 13th-seed status.
The 23-year-old could kick off his quest for a first Masters title against a fellow Brit, as he will meet the winner of the opening match between Jacob Fearnley and Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca.
On the other side of the draw, Cameron Norrie's tournament begins against Italy's Luca Nardi, and the former Wimbledon semi-finalist is on a collision course to meet Jiri Lehecka in round two.
The Brits could still have as many as six representatives in the main draw, as Sonay Kartal is into the final round of qualifying, where she will face the USA's Clervie Ngounoue on Tuesday.

Elsewhere, a blockbuster second-round encounter could be on the cards in the men's draw, as Novak Djokovic - seeded sixth - faces the winner of Nick Kyrgios's battle with an as yet unknown qualifier.
Kyrgios - who entered the Masters tournament with a protected ranking - memorably lost to Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon final and has played just two singles matches in 2025, most recently losing to Fearnley in the first round of the Australian Open.
Either Djokovic or Kyrgios could take on second seed and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals, while Alexander Zverev - seeded first as Jannik Sinner's misses out due to his doping ban - will take on Miomir Kecmanovic or Tallon Griekspoor first up.
Meanwhile, defending women's singles champion Iga Swiatek will take on either Caroline Garcia or Bernarda Pera in her second-round clash, and top seed Aryna Sabalenka will face the victor of Anna Blinkova vs. McCartney Kessler.
