Six-time champion Roger Federer will begin his tournament on Tuesday against Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin at the Centre Court.

Federer is looking to win his 17th grand slam and his seventh Wimbledon title, which will see him equal Pete Sampras' Wimbledon record. He faces a potential semifinal clash against Novak Djokovic, but he has to get past many obstacles en route to the semis. The first is Kukushkin, who will hope rain, and a closed roof, can help him disturb Fed.
