On Friday morning, the draw was made for the 129th edition of Wimbledon, which gets underway on Monday.
Below, Sports Mole takes a look at both the men's and women's draw, while also assessing the ties handed to a number of British players that are competing at SW19.
Men's draw
From a British perspective, all eyes were on who Andy Murray would face as he attempts to win the Wimbledon title for a second time, and while it could have gone better for the world number three, it could also have been a lot worse. The Scot opens against world number 58 Mikhail Kukushkin, while Robin Haase or Alejandro Falla could await him in the last 64.
However, from the third round onwards, things could get interesting for Murray, providing that he reaches that stage. Halle finalist Andreas Seppi or Croatian teenager Borna Coric, who thrashed Murray earlier this year, are possible opponents, with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga a potential foe in the last 16. The two-time major winner could meet Rafael Nadal in a blockbuster encounter in the quarter-finals, while Roger Federer could stand in his way if they both make the last four.

In the opposite side of the draw, Novak Djokovic has plenty of reasons to feel hard done by after being handed arguably his toughest draw in a major tournament for some time. World number 33 Philipp Kohlschreiber, who almost beat Federer in Halle 10 days ago, is his first-round opponent with 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt potentially waiting in round two. Bernard Tomic and Kevin Anderson could face Djokovic before the quarters, where Kei Nishikori could feature ahead of a potential showdown with Stanislas Wawrinka in the semi-finals.
Seven-time champion Federer will be relatively happy with his draw after being handed a match with Damir Dzumhur, who he played at the French Open last month. Big-serving Sam Querrey could await in round two, with Jack Sock a potential opponent in the last 32. Feliciano Lopez may continue the list of big hitters in the fourth round, while Federer is seeded to meet Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals.
As far as the rest of the British interest is concerned, James Ward appears to have drawn the short straw after being handed a match with David Ferrer in the first round. Kyle Edmund must face Alexandr Dolgopolov, who defeated Nadal at Queen's, while Aljaz Bedene goes up against veteran Radek Stepanek. Brydan Klein meets Seppi in his first ever Wimbledon main draw, while Liam Broady takes on Australian Marinko Matosevic.
Women's draw
World number one Serena Williams will begin her bid for a third major title of 2015 with a match against world number 113 Margarita Gasparyan, before potentially facing Timea Babos in the last 64. However, it gets interesting from the last 32 onwards, with Great Britain's Heather Watson or Caroline Garcia possible opponents for round three, and she could run into sister Venus in the last 16.
French Open semi-finalist Ana Ivanovic may await in the quarters, while former champion Maria Sharapova would make for a huge showdown in the semis. However, the Russian must first get past British number two Johanna Konta, who recorded three of the biggest victories of her career at Eastbourne earlier this week. The Russian also faces the possibility of playing against Roland Garros finalist Lucie Safarova in the last eight.

Defending champion Petra Kvitova, who has been drawn in the opposite side of the draw to Serena and Sharapova, will play Kiki Bertens in her opening match of the tournament. The left-hander has been drawn in the same half as that of last year's finalist Eugenie Bouchard and Agnieszka Radwanska, while she is seeded to meet Simona Halep in the semi-finals.
From a British perspective, Watson will have her focus set on world number 33 Garcia, but the Frenchwoman hasn't enjoyed the best of months on the WTA Tour. Wildcard Laura Robson, who has only played one match in 17 months, plays Evgeniya Rodina, who is arriving at SW19 on the back of three successive defeats. Fellow British wildcard Naomi Broady goes up against Marina Duque Marino, who last featured at Wimbledon when she suffered defeat to Robson in the second round in 2013.
