Four New Zealanders will compete in main draws at Wimbledon.

Marcus Daniell will take up a spot alongside his Brazilian playing partner in the men's doubles draw after being awarded a lucky loser spot following a withdrawal.

He joins Artem Sitak and Michael Venus in playing in the doubles tournament.

Marina Erakovic has been drawn against Kazakh Yulia Putintseva in the first round.

Erakovic says not having played the world number 95 isn't a disadvantage.

"I actually prefer the ones where I haven't played them before because you really then go to focus on yourself and just play your game."

If Erakovic were to advance, she would likely play five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in the second round.

Novak Djokovic has a potentially tricky first round encounter against Philipp Kohlschreiber in the men's draw, while Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal could meet in the quarter finals.
