ANDY Murray has been seeded third for Wimbledon behind last year's finalists Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer - with Rafa Nadal back in tenth.
The All England Club committee have largely stuck with the ATP World Rankings, with only Spain's David Ferrer swapping places with Milos Raonic and being downgraded a place to No 8 seed from a world ranking of seventh. It all means another early round meeting is on the cards when the draw is made on Friday between Nadal, a grass court winner in Stuttgart already this season, and one of the other main contenders to take the title. One of those undoubtedly is 2013 winner Murray, who recorded his fourth Queen's Club title only last week. Roland Garros champion Stan Wawrinka completes the new list of the sport's top four.
In the women's event, Serena Williams - who already has three of the sport's Grand Slam titles in her possession - is No 1 seed at a venue where she has had surprising early round losses each of the last two years. Jamie Murray and his Australian partner John Peers are seeded 13th for the men's doubles.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
