Wimbledon men's event 25 June - 8 July
Given the popularity of the French Open thread, and the way we ended up dividing it into week 1 and week 2, may be easier this time to instead divide it from the start, and have a thread for the men's and a thread for the women's.
Anyway, seedings are out.
Quote:
Andy Murray has been seeded eighth for Wimbledon despite his participation at the All England Club remaining in doubt.
Murray has not played since suffering a wrist injury in the Hamburg Masters last month, and has yet to confirm if he will be fit to play when Wimbledon starts next Monday. But his world ranking of No8 has ensured a place among the top seeds, with defending champion Roger Federer No1 in the men's singles.
There is no place in the seedings for four-time semi-finalist Tim Henman, currently ranked No78 in the world. French Open champion and last year's beaten finalist, Rafael Nadal, is seeded second, ahead of Queen's winner Andy Roddick.
The men's seedings are based on the current world rankings, but are slightly adjusted to take into account grass-court performances in the last two years. World No4 Nikolay Davydenko is seeded sixth with Novak Djokovic and Fernando Gonzalez moving above him in the list.
Men's seedings 1 Roger Federer (Switzerland), 2 Rafael Nadal (Spain), 3 Andy Roddick (United States), 4 Novak Djokovic (Serbia), 5 Fernando Gonzalez (Chile), 6 Nikolay Davydenko (Russia), 7 Tomas Berdych (Czech Republic), 8 Andy Murray (Britain), 9 James Blake (United States), 10 Marcos Baghdatis (Cyprus), 11 Tommy Robredo (Spain), 12 Richard Gasquet (France), 13 Tommy Haas (Germany), 14 Mikhail Youzhny (Russia), 15 Ivan Ljubicic (Croatia), 16 Lleyton Hewitt (Australia), 17 David Ferrer (Spain), 18 Mario Ancic (Croatia), 19 Jarkko Nieminen (Finland), 20 Jonas Bjorkman (Sweden), 21 Juan Carlos Ferrero (Spain), 22 Dmitry Tursunov (Russia), 23 Guillermo Canas (Argentina), 24 David Nalbandian (Argentina), 25 Juan Ignacio Chela (Argentina), 26 Carlos Moya (Spain), 27 Marat Safin (Russia), 28 Philipp Kohlschreiber (Germany), 29 Robin Soderling (Sweden), 30 Agustin Calleri (Argentina), 31 Filippo Volandri (Italy), 32 Juan Monaco (Argentina).
