Maria Sharapova
Johanna Konta is set to be the centre of attention again at Wimbledon after drawing Maria Sharapova in the first round.
The Eastbourne-based British No.2 is guaranteed showcourt billing following the draw, which pits her against the glamorous 2004 Wimbledon champion and world No.4.
Konta, ranked 146, beat the world No.34, No.8 and No.20 on centre court at Devonshire Park this week before losing in the quarter-finals yesterday in three sets against Swiss prospect Belinda Bencic.
