British hopes rest on the shoulders of Kyle Edmund and Johanna Konta after former world No 1 Andy Murray pulled out of the competition at the eleventh hour due to fitness concerns.
Federer kicks off his title defence against Dusan Lajovic at 1pm on centre court while Muguruza takes to action against Britain’s Naomi Broady on Tuesday.
Both Edmund and Konta get their own campaigns underway on Tuesday, facing Alexander Bolt and Natalia Vikhlyantseva respectively.
