Djokovic has been drawn against Alexandre Muller, the world No. 40.
The Frenchman is sponsored by OnlyFans and runs an account on the infamous content subscription service.
Muller, with his long blonde locks, brands himself "the sexiest professional tennis player" on his bio.
But those looking for cheeky photos of the 28-year-old may come away disappointed.

He recently told Clay Tennis: "OnlyFans is trying to change their image.
"It's not only about erotic stuff. That's why they sponsor me."
Fans were stunned to see Muller rock a cap with the OnlyFans logo after reaching the Rio Open final in February.
He explained: "I wear some OnlyFans stuff, just to make a bit of buzz.

"OnlyFans is a social media like any other.
"I post about tennis and my life. I don't post anything explicit as people would expect. I only talk about tennis."

Wimbledon bosses are unlikely to share the same sentiment.
Muller will be unable to wear the site's merch during next week's due to the tournament's strict clothing rules.
The French No. 4 has yet to make it past the second round at Wimbledon since his debut in 2021.

The Serb could be on a collision course with Britain's Jack Draper in the quarter finals.

Emma Raducanu to face young British wild card in Wimbledon opener
Xu, 17, is one of three home teenage debutantes in the women's draw, and she will get a first shot at British number one Raducanu. The former US Open champion reached the fourth round last year but faces an uphill battle to do so again, with top seed Aryna Sabalenka and former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova both in her section. It was a tough draw for the British players overall, with Katie Boulter – unseeded this year – taking on top-10 star Paula Badosa, while British number three Sonay Kartal faces 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko. Sixteen-year-olds Hannah Klugman and Mika Stojsavljevic also drew seeds, with the former facing former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez and Stojsavljevic meeting Ashlyn Krueger. The bottom quarter could throw up some big-hitting contests in the second week with Iga Swiatek potentially facing a fourth-round clash against former champion Elena Rybakina and a quarter-final with second seed Coco Gauff having dropped to eighth in the rankings. Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova, meanwhile, will take on exciting Filipino teenager Alexandra Eala in the opening round, provided the Czech recovers from a leg injury in time.

Hottest start to Wimbledon in 147-year history amid 36C heatwave
Wimbledon is bracing for its hottest-ever opening day as a heatwave is forecast to peak at 36C on Monday. The previous record temperature for the start of the grass court Grand Slam event was set in 2001, when 29.3C was reached. The forecast for Monday could also be the hottest temperature ever recorded during the tournament at SW19. The previous highest being 35.7C in 2015. People queueing for tickets will likely face intense heat and should take precautions. British health officials have an amber heat health warning in place until 6pm on Tuesday July 1 for much of the country, including London. This warns of a rise in deaths, particularly amongst people aged 65 and over, or those with health conditions. Wimbledon's heat rule will likely come into force, which allows for a 10-minute break in play during extreme heat. The rule will apply after the second set for all best of three set matches, and after the third for all best of five set matches, with players allowed to leave the court during the break, but not to receive coaching or medical treatment. Wimbledon organisers are taking precautions to protect the general public and staff, including ball boys and girls (BBGs), as well as players. 'Adverse weather is a key consideration in our planning for The Championships, and we are prepared for the predicted hot weather, with comprehensive plans in place for guests, players, staff and the BBGs,' a club statement said. More free water refill stations will be provided around the grounds, and real-time weather alerts will be announced on big screens and via the tournament website. Five-day heatwave Staff shifts will also be adjusted to mitigate the heat, while 'shade-mapping' will help people get away from the sun. Guidance also advises tennis fans to 'wear loose, cool clothing, preferably trousers', as well as 'wide brim hats' to keep the sun away. A heatwave is predicted for much of England over the weekend and could last for a total of five days. The weather is caused by a high-pressure 'heat dome' over mainland Europe, which is trapping hot air and forcing it downwards. This creates more heat at the surface, clears away clouds, and leads to more sun exposure which further bakes an area. It leads to day-to-day increases in temperature until the lid holding the 'heat dome' in place is breached, often with powerful thunderstorms. A heat dome caused London to surpass 40C in 2022, and the Met Office says the physics behind this phenomenon are common in the UK. 'A 'heat dome' is a term not frequently used in the UK meteorological world, though the physics behind it are essentially what happens frequently in UK summers,' explained Dr Rob Thompson, a meteorologist at the University of Reading. Imperial research has found that the weather in June is now up to 4C hotter as a result of climate change, taking once pleasant summer temperatures into more hazardous territory. Ben Clarke, research associate in extreme weather and climate change at Imperial College London, told The Telegraph that the extreme European heat, which could reach a record 47C in Spain, will cause the mercury in Britain to surge in coming days. 'If the forecasts are correct, the high pressure that is currently over much of western Europe will intensify,' he said. 'This will drive the transport of very hot air from north Africa and the Iberian peninsula northwards, resulting in an intense heatwave over the weekend. 'Whether the high pressure system classifies as a 'heat dome' will depend on how intense the high pressure is and how long it lasts, but this certainly has the characteristics of one. 'The forecasts currently show the high pressure weakening over the UK by early next week (though temperatures will stay in the mid-upper twenties in the south), but holding over mainland Europe into the middle of next week – after that, forecasts become a lot less certain. 'The heat is also very likely being amplified by the low rainfall we've had here and in much of Europe through the spring, as the land is unable to cool through evaporation.'
