This is the first year with the new seeding rules that put more of a focus on the grass court season. Tom Sunderland of Bleacher Report has the full details on the changes and explains that No. 5 seed Stan Wawrinka gets the short end of the stick with the new rules.
“The system's format means that none of the four may meet one another before the semi-final stage of the tournament.
However, the Daily Mail's Mike Dickson notes that the impending changes to the tennis calendar, which will place more of an emphasis on grass-court play, will weaken the case for Wimbledon's right to special seedings in the future”
The drawings for Wimbledon will be Friday, June 20 and this will determine the matches for the season’s third grand slam.
