Firstly here is a quick explanation of how seedings work for Wimbledon?

 

 

 

 

 

To work out seedings : Three Things are considered

 

 

 

i) The ATP Ranking points announced before the Draw referred to ESP(Entry System Points).

 

 

ii) The points earned by the players in grass court tournaments in the past 12 months (including the last year Wimbledon points)

 

 

iii) The points earned for best grass court tournament in the 12 months immediately preceding the period mentioned in ii above.

 

 

 

These three are added in the following way :::

 

 

 

100% of i + 100% of ii + 75% of iii

 

 

 

Thus, this way Wimbledon gives seedings to the Top-32 players as per ATP Rankings. (in a way, Wimbledon uses this formula for giving seedings to these Top-32 players only).

Also, davydenko vs Andy Murray match will be good to see....



Also, Tsonga vs Hewitt will be a good match, thou, I am sure, Tsonga should win it if he is fit

[MaraDeGuzman]

I want to see Tomic and Goffin too!

Hmm...Wimbledon draw is something. Challenging first round for most.

[theodorechua]

As for Rafael Nadal,

3rd Round: Dimitrov / Anderson / Baghdatis



4th Round: Raonic / Cilic (this will be a really tough, if he manages to proceed to Round-4)

Ha ha typical for the British to be different

I do like the all white dress code at Wimbledon, looks very smart and is easier on the eye than some of the garish colours we see gracing the courts at other tournaments.
