The Serb will be aiming to draw level with Federer and Nadal who both lead the way on 20 Grand Slam titles apiece, with victory at Roland Garros taking Djokovic to 19.
Meanwhile 39-year-old Federer will be chasing his ninth Wimbledon title, and his first since 2017.
Elsewhere in the tournament, Daniil Medvedev has never gone beyond the third round but takes his place as the second seed.
Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev make up the other fancied stars heading into the gentlemen’s singles draw.
