Murray is due on the same court once Raducanu's opener is finished. There is more British interest on the opening day too, with ninth seed Cameron Norrie due to open Court 2 at 11am.

All-time greats Rafael and Serena Williams are both due to take part in the Championship, too, but are not due on court until the second day. But one of the 'Greatest of All Time', Roger Federer, will not be taking part due to injury.
