Djokovic, the Australian Open champion, was drawn into Federer’s half of the bracket Friday for the grass-court Grand Slam tournament that begins Monday.
Second-ranked Rafael Nadal, who lost to Federer in the past two finals, is in the other half of the draw. He could face two-time runner-up Andy Roddick in the semifinals.
In the women’s draw, top-seeded Ana Ivanovic and two-time champion Serena Williams are in the same top half. No. 2 Jelena Jankovic and Venus Williams, the defending champion and four-time winner, are in the other half of the draw.
Federer, who has won 59 straight matches on grass, will open play on Centre Court on Monday against Dominik Hrbaty of Slovakia. Hrbaty, who reached a ranking of No. 12 in 2004, has dropped to No. 272.
Federer could face a third-round match against Gael Monfils, whom he beat in the French Open semifinals, and either 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt — the last man to win Wimbledon before Federer— or Fernando Gonzalez in the fourth. His projected quarterfinal opponent is Spain’s fifth-seeded David Ferrer.
Nadal, coming off his fourth straight French Open victory and first grass-court title at Queen’s Club, will open against German qualifier Andreas Beck. Nadal could face Mikhail Youzhny in the fourth round, Britain’s Andy Murray or 2007 semifinalist Richard Gasquet in the quarterfinals and either No. 4 Nikolay Davydekno or No. 6 Roddick in the semis.
