The outlook for SW19 is not encouraging, with heavy rain forecast, although that could work in Murray's favour as he tries to recover from a wrist injury.

Champ starts early: Roger Federer sees action on day one

The British number one is scheduled to be third on court one against Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti, following Andy Roddick's match with fellow American Justin Gimelstob and top seed Justine Henin's opener against Jorgelina Cravero of Argentina.

Federer will begin his quest for a fifth consecutive title - equalling Bjorn Borg's modern-day record - in the first match on Centre Court against Teimuraz Gabashvili.

That will be followed by Henman's clash with Spain's Carlos Moya, with Britain's Anne Keothavong then facing her daunting match with third seed Jelena Jankovic.

Britain's Naomi Cavaday is also in action against former champion Martina Hingis on court two, while Josh Goodall and Jamie Baker are also scheduled to play their first-round matches again Feliciano Lopez and Edouard Roger-Vasselin respectively.

Lee Childs will take on fellow qualifier Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi of Pakistan and Katie O'Brien faces Sandra Kloesel of Germany.

Murray has yet to announce whether he will definitely play or not, saying yesterday he was "planning to play" despite still feeling pain from the wrist injury which has sidelined him for five weeks.

He has not played since suffering a micro-tear in a wrist tendon in the Hamburg Masters on May 15, his 20th birthday.

The Scot is confident it will not be a gamble if he decides to play.

"I've been playing some sets the last few days and haven't had any bad reactions on my wrist," Murray said.

"Every day it's been getting better. Unless I have any bad reactions after my practice I'm planning on playing.

"If it was at the end of the year, there were no tournaments coming up, I probably would have taken the time off, made sure it got perfectly back.

"But I had a great start to the year, I decided that I wanted to work really hard.

"Wimbledon was my goal to get ready for. I think I've given myself the best chance.

"I don't think it's a hard decision. If I don't feel I'm fit enough to play and give 100% then I won't play. I'm not going to stress about it. If my wrist isn't right, it's not right."
