The reigning Wimbledon Champion Rafael Nadal has been named the top seed for the grass court Grand Slam which begins on June 22nd.
Although many expected Nadal to get the top seed, Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam Tournament in which the seedings are not allotted based purely on World Rankings, as past performance on grass, from the last two year’s is also taken into consideration.
Five times Wimbledon hero Roger Federer heads the other half of the draw as No.2 seed, with the ever improving Andy Murray given the No.3 seed.

However, with Rafael Nadal’s participation in this year’s event in some doubt, his potential withdrawal could open up a clear path for Andy Murray to reach the final.
The rest of the top seedings in the men’s draw follow the current ATP Rankings, with Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin Del Potro and Andy Roddick filling up the top six respectively.
