Britain's Liam Broady admits the chances of him beating Andy Murray at Wimbledon are even less than Leicester winning the Premier League.
Broady, who is British number six and ranked 234th in the world, was drawn against the two-time grand slam champion in the Wimbledon first round on Friday.
The pair have never faced each other in a competitive match before but they know each other well after Broady was a popular figure among Britain's Davis Cup winning team last year.
The 22-year-old has earned just over 217,000 US dollars in career prize money compared to Murray's 46,740,897 US dollars and while the Scot has won 37 titles, Broady has never been past the second round at a major tournament.
An avid Manchester City supporter, Broady says the odds of him causing an upset could be even longer than 5000/1 top-flight champions Leicester.
"It's a real David against Goliath, Leicester City winning the league situation, maybe even less likely," Broady said.
"I love playing at Wimbledon, I'm just really excited. I know Andy pretty well. I know there aren't any weaknesses to his game.
"But there's no pressure. I enjoy playing in these conditions and in front of a lot of people."
Broady won his only ever grand slam match at Wimbledon last year, when he came back from two sets down to beat Australian Marinko Matosevic.
He admits out of the 127 other spots in the tournament, lining up next to Murray was the one he most wanted to avoid.
"My coach Nathan Rooney, who I've got with me, gave me a call and he was laughing on the phone," Broady said.
"It must have been about a week ago I said I'd take anyone in the draw ahead of Andy. And the one player I drew was Andy.
"We're both really excited about it to be honest. To be able to play, hopefully on a big court, against debatably the best or second best player on grass in the world, is a once in a lifetime opportunity."
Unlikely to be in attendance, however, is Broady's father Simon after they fell out over a dispute relating to LTA funding.
Broady's sister Naomi, who lines up in the women's tournament and will face Ukraine's Elina Svitolina, had some of her support cut by the LTA for a minor breach of discipline in 2007.
"I spoke to my dad over Christmas and we've met a couple of times since," Liam said.
"It is better than it was. It is civil. I am not sure whether he will be watching on the court but I am sure he will be keeping a track from somewhere."
