For the first time since 2011, the top four men's seeds have reached the Wimbledon last-16 with Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal taking centre-stage on Manic Monday. The four stars have shared the Wimbledon title since 2003 when Federer won the first of his seven trophies at the All England Club. Djokovic has claimed three with defending champion Murray and Nadal winning two apiece.

He faces unpredictable Frenchman Benoit Paire who is in the last-16 for the first time. Federer, bidding for a record eighth Wimbledon title, which would also make him the oldest champion at the All England Club, faces Grigor Dimitrov boasting a 5-0 record over the man once tipped as his natural heir.

Nadal, fresh from a 10th French Open title, faces fellow left-hander Gilles Muller, who is looking to make the quarter-finals for the first time in seven years. Nadal has a 5-1 record over Muller although he will be wary that the Luxembourg grass court specialist beat him at Wimbledon in 2005.
