Novak Djokovic named top seed for a fourth straight year

Rafael Nadal will be the No. 10 seed at this year’s Championships at Wimbledon, setting up the possibility that the two-time champion could face a quarter-final meeting with Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer or Andy Murray for a second straight major.
As the sixth seed at Roland Garros, Nadal received an unfavourable draw that resulted in playing World No. 1 Djokovic in the quarter-finals. The Serbian defeated the nine-time champion in straight sets.

Djokovic, who prevailed against Federer in last year’s final, will top the Wimbledon draw for a fourth straight year. He is followed in the seedings by seven-time winner Federer, 2013 titlist Murray and reigning Roland Garros champion Stan Wawrinka.

Meanwhile, possible Round of 16 opponents for Nadal include the fifth through eighth seeds: Kei Nishikori, Tomas Berdych, Milos Raonic and David Ferrer. Last year as the No. 2 seed, Nadal suffered a fourth-round upset loss to Australian young gun Nick Kyrgios.

The singles seeds reflect the Top 32 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, but the seeding order is rearranged on a surface-based system.

The draw ceremony will take place Friday.
