Andy Murray

'Today is a tough day for me, it’s my gran’s funeral today,' Murray said. 'I’m sorry to my family that I’m not able to be there but gran, this one’s for you.'

The former British no 1 and three-time Grand Slam winner dodged a seed in the first round and will be heavily favoured to beat Ryan Peniston, who is ranked 267.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Murray was a notable absentee from the official All England Club artwork, which features 15 famous players walking down a staircase.
