Murray handed Lapentti test

Andy Murray will face Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti in the first round of Wimbledon if he recovers from his wrist injury.

Murray will leave it until Monday, when the championships begin, before making a final decision on his fitness after sustaining tendon damage to his right wrist in Hamburg last month.

Lapentti, 31, is ranked 63rd in the world and reached the quarter-finals at the All England Club in 2002.

British number two Tim Henman also faces a tough opener after being drawn against Spain's Carlos Moya.

British number three Alex Bogdanovic, who was knocked out of the Artois Championships by Andy Roddick, will meet Chris Guccione of Australia.

Roger Federer will open his Wimbledon defence against Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili, ranked 85 in the world, with the Swiss star targeting a fifth successive title at SW19.

Federer's conquerer in the final of the French Open, Rafael Nadal, has been given a far harder opener, however, with Mardy Fish of the USA his first-round opponent.
