Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal could meet in the semi-finals of the 2019 Wimbledon Open after both players were drawn in the same half.

Although Nadal was unhappy about being seeded below Federer in a reversal of their world rankings, it ultimately made no difference, with both in the opposite half to top seed, Novak Djokovic .

Nadal however has the most eye-catching draw, with a second-round clash against Nick Kyrgios looming assuming he beats Japan’s Yuichi Sugita, while Denis Shapovalov is a potential third-round opponent and Marin Cilic his seeded rival in the fourth round.

Federer opens his campaign against South Africa’s Lloyd Harris and may meet either Britain’s Jay Clarke or American qualifier, Noah Rubin in the second round.

Djokovic will begin the defense of his title at 1.00pm on Centre Court on Monday against veteran, Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber.

The highest-ranked British player, 30th seed Kyle Edmund plays Spain’s Jaume Munar in the opening round and could face seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round.

Nineteen-year-old wild card Paul Jubb will make his Wimbledon debut against Portugal’s João Sousa while Dan Evans and James Ward would play each other if they can beat Federico Delbonis and Nikoloz Basilashvili respectively.

The final British player in the men’s singles, Cameron Norrie will play Denis Istomin and could face 8th seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan in the second round.
