Djokovic has been drawn against Alexandre Muller, the world No. 40.
The Frenchman is sponsored by OnlyFans and runs an account on the infamous content subscription service.
Muller, with his long blonde locks, brands himself "the sexiest professional tennis player" on his bio.
But those looking for cheeky photos of the 28-year-old may come away disappointed.

He recently told Clay Tennis: "OnlyFans is trying to change their image.
"It's not only about erotic stuff. That's why they sponsor me."
Fans were stunned to see Muller rock a cap with the OnlyFans logo after reaching the Rio Open final in February.
He explained: "I wear some OnlyFans stuff, just to make a bit of buzz.

"OnlyFans is a social media like any other.
"I post about tennis and my life. I don't post anything explicit as people would expect. I only talk about tennis."

Wimbledon bosses are unlikely to share the same sentiment.
Muller will be unable to wear the site's merch during next week's due to the tournament's strict clothing rules.
The French No. 4 has yet to make it past the second round at Wimbledon since his debut in 2021.

Novak Djokovic confident Wimbledon is his ‘best chance' of extending slam record
Novak Djokovic believes that this year's Wimbledon likely represents his best chance of winning a record-extending 25th grand slam title as he tries to disrupt the dominance established by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz at the biggest tournaments in the world. 'I would probably agree that Wimbledon could be the best chance because of the results I had, because of how I feel, how I play at Wimbledon, just getting that extra push mentally and motivation to perform the best tennis at the highest level,' said Djokovic. The seven-time champion at SW19 returns to the All England Club in an intriguing position. After defeating Alcaraz, the world No 2, en route to the Australian Open semi-finals in January, Djokovic reached the French Open semi-finals with a stellar win over the world No 3, Alexander Zverev, before losing in three tight sets to Sinner. The Serb departed Paris as the third best performer at the grand slam tournaments so far this year and he continues to compete at an extremely high level. At 38, long past his physical peak, the faster, less attritional grass courts are more conducive to his game. 'This year I played two semi-finals. Unfortunately in Australia I had to retire. In Roland Garros I was outplayed by Sinner. I think I still played a decent level of tennis that showed me that I can still play on a very high level at the later stages. That's what is also giving me an extra, I guess motivation to keep going. Obviously clay court, yeah, probably slightly less chances to win compared to grass.' Djokovic, the sixth seed this year, is attempting to break his tie with Pete Sampras and become the joint record holder at the All England Club alongside his great rival Roger Federer with eight titles. A victory would also mark him as the oldest grand slam champion in history. As was the case at the French Open, he is unsure of whether this will be his final appearance at Wimbledon. At such an advanced age in the sport, he has resolved to take things one tournament at a time. Should both players live up to their rankings, Djokovic would face Jack Draper, the British No 1, in the quarter-finals. The fourth seed continued his preparations for Wimbledon on Saturday by working through a friendly practice match with Jacob Fearnley, the British No 2. After suffering with tonsillitis during his semi-final run at Queen's last week, Draper again stressed that he is feeling much better. He rested for two days after Queen's but he has trained consistently since Tuesday. In addition to the challenge of tackling Wimbledon as a top contender for the first time, Draper has been handed an extremely difficult draw with a potential third-round match against Alexander Bublik, the Halle champion and his conqueror at the French Open. Unsurprisingly, Draper has had to field countless questions in interviews on his ability to handle the pressure that comes with his new status. 'Obviously you guys have asked me a lot about the pressure and all that sort of stuff. I'm not thinking about that at all,' he said. 'I'm thinking about how I can play my tennis out there. I'm aware that the crowd is going to really be behind me and support me and want me to drive forward in the tournament. That gives me a huge source of motivation to want to keep on trying to find my level and to try to beat these guys. So I feel good. That's the only thing I can say.' Meanwhile, Sinner, the top seed, declined to elaborate on his surprise decision to part ways with the fitness trainer Marco Panichi and the physiotherapist Ulises Badio after his second-round defeat at Halle last week. 'Nothing major happened,' said Sinner. 'Nothing big happened. I parted ways not long ago, but it's not affecting me. I feel ready to compete. I feel free. I feel me and my team, we are ready to do the best we can. I'm here to play good tennis. I think that's my main goal, the main reason why I'm here. 'We've reached incredible results in the past with them, so obviously huge thanks to them. We made some great job, but I decided to do something different.'

Why this is a golden age for British tennis
W ho better than John McEnroe to provide an objective view of the state of British tennis? Since his Wimbledon debut as an 18-year-old American qualifier in 1977, he has been back for every championships as a player or a pundit. 'I think now no one looks at it like, 'Oh my god, I hope I play a British guy,' ' he says of the mindset of modern players. 'There might be a couple of wild cards that get in now who would be good draws because they're trying to make it. But for the most part, all the British players in the draw now are legit players.' It's not quite time to pin up the Union flag bunting, but there is undoubtedly a sense at the All England Club that this is, dare we say it, something of a golden era for British tennis.
