The 2013 and 2016 Wimbledon champion had earlier said he would will leave a decision on his participation “as late as possible” as he aims to give himself “the best chance” of making what could be his last appearance at the event after surgery on a spinal cyst.
But because he is in the opposite half to defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, he will have an extra day to recover, with his match to be scheduled on Tuesday rather than Monday.
Emma Raducanu will face Russian 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova while Andy Murray has been drawn against Czech Tomas Machac in the first round at Wimbledon.
