NOVAK DJOKOVIC is set to face a wildcard with a wild side at this year’s Wimbledon.
The 38-year-old will play the world’s “sexiest tennis player” in his SW19 curtain-raiser next week.
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.
And should he battle past the home favourite, No. 1 seed Jannick Sinner is his likely opponent.
