Novak Djokovic, Juan Carlos Ferrero to meet in Wimbledon first round

Novak Djokovic will meet Juan Carlos Ferrero in the opening round of Wimbledon as the men's draw for next week's tournament is announced.

Novak Djokovic has been drawn against former world number one Juan Carlos Ferrero in the opening round of Wimbledon.

The 32-year-old could prove to be a tough test for the Serbian pro with the Spaniard's record of reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 2009 and has a French Open title under his belt.

The 2009 Wimbledon champion Roger Federer will go up against 24-year-old Albert Ramos, who is yet to compete at SW19.

British hopeful Andy Murray, who has been struggling with a back injury in recent weeks, has been drawn against Russian pro Nikolay Davydenko, who reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in 2007.

Meanwhile, number two seed Rafael Nadal, who was drawn in Murray's half, will go head to head with 24-year-old Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci in the opening round, while a mouth-watering tie between Jo Wilfried-Tsonga and Lleyton Hewitt has also been drawn.
