MEN

The seeds are the top 32 players on the Emirates ATP Ranking list, BUT then rearranged on a surface-based system. Since 2002 a seeding committee has not been required for the Gentlemen’s Singles following an agreement made with the ATP. The seeding order is determined using an objective and transparent system to reflect more accurately an individual player’s grass court achievements: The formula is:

• Take the Emirates ATP Ranking points at 20 June 2016

• Add 100% of the points earned for all grass court tournaments in the past 12 months

• Add 75% of the points earned for the best grass court tournament in the 12 months before that
