Who could Andy Murray face in the first round?

BRITISH star Murray is making his long-awaited return to the All England Club after nearly a year away from the court.

The two-time Wimbledon champ underwent surgery on his hip back in January after pulling out of the Australia Open.

Murray is currently ranked No156 in the world and as a result will NOT be seeded for the tournament.

As a result he could very easily be drawn against Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or fellow Brit Kyle Edmund in the first round.
