Wednesday, June 18th, 2014 -- 11:28 AM
Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams were seeded No. 1 for Wimbledon on Wednesday.Rafael Nadal, a two-time Wimbledon champion who is coming off his ninth French Open title, is seeded No. 2 for the grass-court Grand Slam, which starts on Monday. Andy Murray last year became the first British player to win the Wimbledon men's title since 1936 is the No. 3 seed while seven-time champion Roger Federer is No. 4, and Australian Open winner Stan Wawrinka is down two spots from his world ranking at No. 5.
The women's seedings stick to the WTA rankings. That means five-time champion Williams is No. 1, followed by Li Na, French Open runner-up Simona Halep, Agnieszka Radwanska and Maria Sharapova. Sharapova, who won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon 10 years ago, is coming off her second French Open championship. She is considered Williams' top challenger at Wimbledon, despite the No. 5 seeding.
