Rafael Nadal's draw at 2011 seems clear of landmines in the first two round. However potential third and fourth round matches look tricky.

Rafael Nadal, the defending champion at Wimbledon, is the current world number one and he has a fourteen match winning streak going at the All England Club having not lost a match there since the 2007 event (Nadal missed the tournament in 2009). He'll be gunning for his third title at Wimbledon later this month
(2/1 to win outright; bet365) and into July and his draw is now known.
Nadal's opening round match will be against Michael Russell of the USA, a player Rafa promises to defeat. Nadal also promises to extend his winning streak with a victory in a second round match against either Pablo Andujar or Ryan Sweeting.
Nadal's third round opponent could be tricky as the nearest seeded player is Canada's Milos Raonic. Raonic is a young and improving player and even though he's seeded 31st he could be viewed as a player with more potential to do some damage at the All England Club. Many think that the 20 year old has skills that are suited to grass and perhaps there could be a close contest brewing, if the two players meet.
Juan Martin Del Potro is a possible fourth round match for Nadal at Wimbledon with Tomas Berdych the player Nadal would face in the quarters if the seedings held up.
Nadal shares a semi with Scotland's Andy Murray and the eighth seeded Andy Roddick, a three time runnerup at the All England Club. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are on the opposite side of the draw.
The main draw for Wimbledon is scheduled to start on June 20th.
