Alex de Minaur will play his Wimbledon first-round match against in-form Australian compatriot James Duckworth, while Ajla Tomljanović will face 13th seed Jeļena Ostapenko.

Ninth seed de Minaur had initially been drawn to play Corentin Moutet, but the Frenchman withdrew from the tournament because of a wrist injury.

This offered up a dream opportunity for Duckworth — who had been knocked out in the final round of qualifying — to play de Minaur as a 'lucky loser'.

World number 55 Moutet had promised to be an unpredictable opponent for de Minaur.

But Duckworth, the world number 78, poses just as much danger to ninth-ranked de Minaur, having recently reached the Stuttgart quarterfinals on grass.
