Wimbledon puts Andy Murray in Rafael Nadal’s half of draw, Novak Djokovic in Roger Federer’s

No. 1 Nadal could face Murray in Wimbledon semis

WIMBLEDON, England — Defending champion Rafael Nadal could face third-ranked Andy Murray in the semifinals at Wimbledon, while Roger Federer could come up against Novak Djokovic for a spot in the final.

Murray was placed in Nadal’s half of the draw for the tournament Friday and could provide a major obstacle for the Spaniard — if the defending champion is fit enough to play. Nadal’s participation is in doubt because of his knee problems.

Djokovic was placed in Federer’s half of the draw. The Serb eliminated Federer in the semifinals of the Australian Open last year.

Nadal will face Arnaud Clement in the first round, and Federer will play Yen-Hsun Lu.
