The full list of seeds for next week’s Wimbledon championships has been revealed.
Defending champions Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams will headline their 32-seeded draws. This year will be the fourth consecutive year where Williams is the top seed and the fifth for Djokovic.
Following Williams in the women’s draw will be French Open champion Garbine Muguruza, Agnieszka Radwanska, Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep. Great Britain’s Johanna Konta will be the 17th seed, making her the first British woman to be seeded at the event since Jo Durie in 1984.
The men’s seeds set up the possibility of a final showdown between Djokovic and second seed Andy Murray. The world No.1 recently defeated the Brit in four sets to win his first French Open title. Completing the top-five is seven-time champion Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori. Since 2010, the top seed has only won won the men’s title twice (Djokovic in 2014 and 2015).
In Wimbledon’s 130-year history, only two unseeded players have won the title (Boris Becker in 1985 and Goran Ivanisevic in 2001). There has never been an unseeded Women’s champion.
