Andy Murray is one of the favourites for Wimbledon but will any other Brits win a match at SW19?
- British men Liam Broady, James Ward, Aljaz Bedene, Kyle Edmund and Brydan Klein are all looking for wins at Wimbledon
- British women Heather Watson, Johanna Konta, Naomi Broady, Laura Robson all have difficult opening games at SW19
- Aside from Bedene, all face opponents with a higher ranking
Having won Wimbledon in 2013, Andy Murray is one of this year's favourites for the tournament but it remains to be seen as to whether any other Brits will win a match at SW19.
Nine other British hopefuls, five men and four women, are competing at the All England Club and aside from Aljaz Bedene, all face opponents with a higher ranking.
