Kyle Edmund could face Novak Djokovic in the second round at Wimbledon
BEVERLEY’S Kyle Edmund was given the toughest of Wimbledon draws, which could see him face reigning champion Novak Djokovic in the second round.
That is if the talented 21-year-old, a former Pocklington School pupil, gets through a difficult opener against Frenchman Adrian Mannarino and Djokovic – who is the reigning champion and current holder of all four grand slam titles – overcomes Edmund’s Davis Cup team-mate James Ward.
Andy Murray will play fellow Briton Liam Broady in the first round and has been drawn in the same half as Stan Wawrinka.
