Djokovic, Murray seeded 1st and 2nd at Wimbledon

June 23, 2016, Thursday |

Print Edition

NOVAK Djokovic cannot face Andy Murray until the final at Wimbledon after they were seeded first and second, respectively, yesterday for the third grand slam of the year.

It means Djokovic and Murray will be in separate halves of the draw when it is made tomorrow. Seedings were based on the current world rankings but rearranged to reflect players’ grasscourt achievements. Richard Gasquet, the 10th-ranked player of France and a two-time Wimbledon semifinalist, is No. 7 and 13th-ranked Marin Cilic, a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon the past two years, is No. 9. The women’s seedings follow the WTA rankings, with six-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams at No. 1 and French Open champ Garbine Muguruza at No. 2.
