Nick Kyrgios will play Jordan Thompson in an all-Australian first-round showdown at Wimbledon, with the victor likely to face the great Rafael Nadal.
Kyrgios has paid the price for not being seeded at the All England Club since his stunning win as a teenager five years ago over Nadal.
Alex de Minaur, Australia’s only seed in the men’s event, will open his campaign against Italian Marco Cecchinato.
