The Serb is attempting to become the first man to win five Grand Slam titles in a row since Don Budge, who won six consecutive championships between 1937 and 1938.

Roger Federer, a seven-time winner at SW19, starts against Argentina's Guido Pella. Garbine Muguruza, the 2016 French Open women's champion, faces Italy's Camila Giorgi.
