The 37-year-old is recovering from surgery but will give himself as long as possible to decide if he is fit enough to play at Wimbledon before calling time on his career. The draw has given him a welcome boost in his race against time.
Andy Murray will face Czech Tomas Machac in the first round of the Wimbledon singles if he is fit enough to take part. The 37-year-old, who confirmed he is planning for the Olympics in Paris to be the final event of his career, had surgery on a spinal cyst only last Saturday. He said on Thursday he will wait 'until the very last moment' to decide if he can play at SW19 one last time.
'I spoke to my brother a couple of days ago in terms of the doubles to see if he wants to find someone else to play with, and I was obviously absolutely fine with that. 'But he also wants the opportunity to try to play. We'll see how the next few days go.' Elsewhere, British number one Jack Draper, who is seeded at a grand slam for the first time, takes on qualifier Elias Ymer in round one and could meet compatriot Cameron Norrie in round two.
