Wimbledon seeding changes almost nothing as lineup is announced on Wednesday

The race for Grand Slam seeding is always intriguing, but only 25 percent of the time is it confusing. At the Australian Open, French Open, and U.S. Open, it is done strictly by the current ATP rankings. Wimbledon, however, employs some kind of math algorithm that makes the Pythagorean theorem seem amateurish.

Actually, it’s really not that complicated at all. A player’s point total for seeding purposes at the All-England Club is his current amount of ATP ranking points plus all of his ranking points accumulated on grass in the past 12 months, plus 75 percent of the points accumulated at his best grass-court event during the 12 moths prior to that.

For the most part men remained with seeds similar if not identical to their rankings. In the entire top 10, only one swap took place with world No. 8 Milos Raonic snagging the seventh seed and world No. 7 David Ferrer dropping to eighth. Of course, that has absolutely no impact on the draw because Raonic and Ferrer will still go into the proverbial pot as 5-8 seeds.

The first meaningful move sees Gilles Simon climb from 13th to 12th as fellow Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga falls from No. 12 to No. 13. That means Simon could face either Raonic, Ferrer, Kei Nishikori, or Tomas Berdych in the fourth round. Tsonga, on the other hand, may have to go up against Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, or Stan Wawrinka in the last 16.

In a significant development that none of the top seeds will complain about, world No. 25 Ivo Karlovic has a top 24 seed instead of a 25-32 seed. That means he cannot meet any of the top eight seeds in the third round. He could, though, face Nadal at that point in the tournament.

All of the top 32 players in the world earned seeds, with No. 33 Philipp Kohlschreiber and and No. 34 Adrian Mannarino among those left on the outside looking in.
