Serena Williams has been seeded 25th for this year’s Wimbledon
Championships even though she is outside of the world’s top 32.
Wimbledon 2018: Andy Murray to make decision when
he’s ready
The American, a seven-time Wimbledon winner, is ranked at 183 in
the world but missed most of last season to give birth to her first
child in September.
According to the Wimbledon website, the ladies’ singles seeding order
follows the WTA top-32
ranking list “except where in the opinion of the committee, a
change is necessary to produce a balanced draw”. For the men’s
seedings it is “top 32 players on the ATP Ranking list, but then rearranged on a
surface-based system”.
Williams’s seeding means that Slovakia’s Dominika Cibulkova –
the world No.32 – has not been seeded, the BBC reports.
Earlier this week Cibulkova said it would not be right for
Williams to be seeded. She said: “I don’t think it’s the right
thing to do. I think it’s just not fair. I have tried and I should
be seeded. If they put her in front of me then I will lose my spot
that I am supposed to have.”
Halep and Federer top seeds
World No.1 women’s player Simona Halep of Romania gets top
seeding for the Championships. Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki is
seeded second and Spain’s Garbine Muguruza is third. Britain’s
Johanna Konta is seeded 22nd.
In the men’s draw Swiss star Roger Federer is seeded No.1
despite being ranked No.2 on the ATP world rankings. Spaniard
Rafael Nadal is seeded No.2 and Croatia’s Marin Cilic is
three.
Britain’s Kyle Edmund is seeded No.22 but Andy Murray “cannot be
seeded as he sits outside the top 32 in the rankings” says the
BBC.
The 2018 Wimbledon Championships take place at the All
England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club from 2-15 July.
