Gentlemen\u2019s singles draw has been made for Wimbledon<\/a>, the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third Grand Slam of the season, the only grass court Major event,\u00a0will be held from June 24 to July 7, at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.<\/p>\n

128 players will be playing \u00a0for The Championships trophy and 2000 ATP points.<\/p>\n

In his ninth appearance at Wimbledon, Nole will open campaign for a second title against world no.33 Florian Mayer (3-0 career H2H record).<\/strong><\/p>\n

“He’s a tricky player,”<\/strong> Novak said of his German opponent. “He has a bit unorthodox game. He can be very dangerous on this surface. He loves playing on grass. He can serve well and has a strong backhand.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The top seed and 2011 champion might face the winner of the all-American clash between Bobby Reynolds and Steve Johnson in the second round.<\/p>\n

Novak\u2019s potential rivals in the later stages of the tournament:<\/p>\n

Third round<\/span>: Jeremy Chardy (FRA, 28), Ryan Harrison (USA)
\nFourth round<\/span>: Tommy Haas (GER, 13), Gilles Simon (FRA, 19)
\nQuarter-finals<\/span>: Tomas Berdych (CZE, 7), Richard Gasquet (FRA, 9)
\nSemi-finals<\/span>: David Ferrer (ESP, 4), Juan M. del Potro (ARG, 8), Grigor Dimitrov (BUL, 29)
\nFinals<\/span>: Andy Murray (GBR, 2), Roger Federer (SUI, 3), Rafael Nadal (ESP, 5)<\/p>\n

Last year, Nole reached semi-finals (l.to Federer), so he will defend 720 points.<\/p>\n

The world no.1 is looking to win his fourth title in 2013 after triumphing in Melbourne, Dubai and Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n
