Second seed and French Open champion Rafa Nadal has been named on
the same side of the draw with seven-time winner Roger Federer of
Switzerland.
Murray, who ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles
champion in 2013, is seeded third for the grasscourt championship,
two places above his world ranking, and will meet David Goffin of
Belgium on center court on Monday.
Should he reach the final four he could meet Serbian Djokovic, who
will face Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan, also on Monday.
Nadal opens his campaign against Slovakia's Martin Klizan on
Tuesday, and faces a potential tricky second round match-up with
Czech Lukas Rosol, who beat him in the second round two years ago.
Fourth seed Federer opens against Paolo Lorenzi of Italy, also on
Tuesday.
In the women's draw, world number one Serena Williams could meet
French Open winner Maria Sharapova in the last eight after they were
drawn in the same quarter.
