LONDON (Reuters) - Wimbledon champion Andy Murray should be spared a horror draw at this year's tournament despite his recent rankings slide, organisers said on Tuesday.

Murray, who became the first British man to win the men's singles at the grasscourt grand slam for 77 years last July when he beat Novak Djokovic in the final, has sunk to eighth in the ATP rankings which at most tournaments determine seedings.
