This year’s Wimbledon<\/a> Championships seedings for the tournament have been announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The men’s seedings are headed by world number one and defending champion Novak Djokovic, followed by Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To determine the 32 seeds, Wimbledon uses a formula that rewards players for their grass-court achievements.<\/p>\n

The All England Club’s formula takes a player’s ATP ranking as of the week before Wimbledon, adds all points earned on grass in the previous 12 months and includes 75 % of points earned for the best grass-court event in the 12 months before that.<\/p>\n

Top 8 seeds in the Gentlemen’s draw:<\/p>\n

[1] Novak Djokovic (SRB)<\/strong>
\n[2] Roger Federer (SUI)
\n[3] Andy Murray (GBR)
\n[4] Stan Wawrinka (SUI)
\n[5] Kei Nishikori (JPN)
\n[6] Tomas Berdych (CZE)
\n[7] Milos Raonic (CAN)
\n[8] David Ferrer (ESP)<\/p>\n

Two-time former winner Rafael Nadal is down to 10th seed, meaning he could face one of the leading contenders in the last 16.<\/p>\n

The most prestigious tennis event in the world begins on Monday, June 29, at the All England Club, and concludes with the men’s singles final on July 12.<\/p>\n

Last year, Novak lifted his second Championships trophy beating seven-time former titlist Roger Federer 6-7 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-4 in the final.<\/p>\n

The Gentlemen’s Singles Draw will be made on Friday, June 26, at 11am CET (10am local time).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
