Baltacha handed tough Wimbledon draw



Elena Baltacha will face Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko in the first round at Wimbledon, which starts on Monday.

The 25-year-old, who was born in Kiev, faces an uphill struggle to reach the second round after drawing the world number 32.

Should Baltacha, who has never been past round two, beat Bondarenko, she could face 30th seed Agnes Szavay in round two before a possible third round tie against world number one Dinara Safina.

Jamie Murray, in partnership with Jonathon Erlich in the men's doubles, face eighth seeds Lukasz Kubot and Oliver Marach.

And there was similar bad news for Linlithgow's Colin Fleming in the men's doubles draw.

Fleming, who is being partnered by Ken Skupski at the All England Club,  will face Johan Brunstrom and Jean-Julian Rojer in the first round before a possible showdown with number one seeds Bob and Mike Bryan in round two.
