Andy Murray will begin what might turn out to be his final Wimbledon campaign against fellow Brit Ryan Peniston.
Novak Djokovic will, meanwhile, begin the defence of the title he won 12 months ago against Pedro Cachin and No.1 seed Carlos Alcaraz will face Jeremy Chardy.
In the women’s draw British No.1 Katie Boulter will take on Australia’s Daria Saville in the first round of Wimbledon.
Three other British players drew seeds – Heather Watson, who reached the fourth round last year, plays former French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova, Katie Swan meets 14th seed Belinda Bencic and Sonay Kartal takes on 25th seed Madison Keys.
Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage fared better – the former drawing France’s Diane Parry and the latter American Caty McNally.
Top seed Iga Swiatek takes on China’s Zhu Lin, while two standout draws saw wild cards Venus Williams and Elina Svitolina paired together, and Coco Gauff taking on former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin.
