Andy Murray has been drawn to face Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic in the first round at Wimbledon – and would not have to play until Tuesday.
The double Olympic champion would face Argentine No.26 seed Francisco Cerundolo in the second round.
The Scot, 37, has still to decide if he will enter the singles event after undergoing surgery to remove a spinal cyst on Saturday. Being in the bottom half of the draw – on the opposite side from defending champion Carlos Alcaraz – will give him an extra day to recover.
He ruptured his ankle ligaments playing against Machac at the Miami Open in March but still completed the match.
Emma Raducanu has been handed a tough return to Wimbledon after drawing Russian No.22 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round.

Wildcard Henry Searle would play the winner in the third round if he overcomes American Marcos Giron and No 4 seed Alex Zverev in the same section.
And wildcard Jacob Fearnley will likely play Novak Djokovic in the second round if he beats Spanish qualifier Alejandro Moro Canas.

The Italian starts against German Yannick Hanfmann. He could face former finalist Matteo Berrettini in the second round.
Fran Jones will start against Petra Martic with the winner likely to face world No 1 Iga Swiatek in the second round.
