Johanna Konta handed Hsieh Su-Wei rematch at Wimbledon

British number one Johanna Konta will face Hsieh Su-Wei - her conqueror at last month's French Open - in the Wimbledon first round.

British number one Johanna Konta has been handed a tie with Hsieh Su-Wei in the Wimbledon first round.

Last month, Hsieh stunned Konta by beating her in three sets in the opening round at the French Open, but the sixth seed has been given the chance to gain revenge at SW19.

However, she faces an uphill task if she wants to progress past the last 64 for the first time in her career, with Donna Vekic - who was victorious in their Nottingham Open final earlier this month - potentially lying in wait in the second round, while two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is a possible fourth-round opponent.

Heather Watson will play Maryna Zanevska in her opening match, while Naomi Broady has been handed a test against Irina-Camelia Begu.

Wildcards Laura Robson and Katie Boulter have been provided with matches against Beatriz Haddad Maia and Christina McHale respectively.

World number one Angelique Kerber will meet a qualifier in the first round.
