The World tennis number three Andy Murray gets the chance to show the Wimbledon faithful just how far he has come in the past 12 months when he opens his campaign against American Robert Kendrick.
Last year the Briton used a superb fourth-round comeback victory over Frenchman Richard Gasquet as the catalyst for a brilliant spell in which he has risen to a career-high ranking.
Now he's the second highest seeded player left in the draw after world number one Rafael Nadal pulled out through injury, seemingly opening up Murray's chances to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the tournament.
Defending women's champion Venus Williams, just like Roger Federer is chasing a sixth Wimbledon title, and opens day two proceedings on Centre Court.
Juan Martin del Potro and Andy Roddick the respective fifth and sixth seeds are also in action along with women's top seed Dinara Safina, who's still without a grand slam victory from three finals.
Also on court is Russia's French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova.
