Andy Murray was handed an extremely tough first-round match against Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka at the Olympic tennis draw at Wimbledon today.
With only 16 seeds in a 64-man field instead of the 32 out of 128 who are seeded at the grand slams, there was always the potential for some tasty first-round ties.
And that is certainly the case for third seed Murray, who will meet world number 26 Wawrinka, a man he has lost to four times in 10 meetings, including in the third round of the US Open two years ago.
