Defending champion Novak Djokovic will take the traditional position in the first game on Center Court on the first day of Wimbledon.
The six-time champion, who has won his last three All England singles titles, will face 81st seed Kwon Sun-Woo in the first round.
It would be Djokovic's 80th win at the All England Club, making him the first man or woman to win at least as many matches in each of his four Grand Slam matches.
Two buildings will occupy the other openings in the main court.
Emma Radocano, US Open winner at the age of September 18, will be next on Center Court, facing Belgium's Alison Van Uyvank. Next comes Andy Murray, the three-time main champion who won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016. He will play against Australian James Duckworth.
Other former Grand Slam champions will play on day one, including Angelique Kerber, Stan Wawrinka and Jelena Ostapenko.
