Andy Murray addresses retirement rumours ahead of his 15th Wimbledon

Andy Murray will play fellow Brit Ryan Peniston in the opening round of Wimbledon, and could face a blockbuster match against Stefanos Tsitsipas or Dominic Thiem should he progress to the second round.

The 36-year-old has hopes of reaching the deep end of the tournament after the two-time Wimbledon champion won titles at Surbiton and Nottingham, but Murray will face one of the world’s top players in the second round should he face Tsitsipas, the tournament’s fifth seed, or Thiem, the former US Open champion.

Before then, Murray will open against the 26-year-old Peniston in all-British clash on Centre Court on Tuesday. Peniston is ranked 267th in the world and received a wildcard for the Wimbledon main draw.

Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek are top seeds for this year’s Wimbledon while Novak Djokovic and Elena Rybakina will be looking to defend their titles on the iconic grass courts of SW19.

Good morning and welcome to live coverage of the Wimbledon draw as Andy Murray prays for a favourable opening round after missing out on seeding for the Championships.

Murray has hopes of reaching the deep end of the tournament after the two-time Wimbledon champion won titles at Surbiton and Nottingham, but the 36-year-old faces the possibility of being drawn against one of the world’s top players in the early stages of the competition.

“I need to be prepared for that,” Murray said. “I need to be ready to play against anyone right from the start. I’ve had some pretty tough first-round draws in the slams over the last couple of years so I need to to be ready for that and I think I am.”

Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek are top seeds for this year’s Wimbledon while Novak Djokovic and Elena Rybakina will be looking to defend their titles on the iconic grass courts of SW19.
