Wimbledon 2021: Jack Draper plays Novak Djokovic on day one, Andy Murray in action

British teenager Jack Draper says he hopes to show defending champion Novak Djokovic what he's got when they open Centre Court on day one of Wimbledon.

Serbia's Djokovic, champion in 2018 and 2019, admits he "does not know too much" about his opponent.

"What an opportunity to be on court against the world's best player to show him what I've got," said Draper, 19.

The pair start at 13:30 BST on Monday, as the Championships return after being cancelled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Britain's former world number one Andy Murray, the 2013 and 2016 men's singles champion, makes his return against Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili later on Wimbledon's main showcourt (about 17:30 BST).
