Wimbeldon Seedings 2023

As has been the case since 2021, seedings are now based solely on rankings as opposed to the old grass-court formula method.

Despite winning at Surbiton and the Nottingham Open in recent weeks, two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray will not be seeded after crashing out in the first round of Queens to eventual finalist Alex De Minaur.

At the other end of the spectrum, Carlos Alcaraz made a return to top spot after lifting his first ever title on grass at Queens.

The mightily impressive Spaniard will attempt to stop bookmaker’s favourite Novak Djokovic from winning his fifth consecutive title here, and an eighth overall which would move him level with Roger Federer’s haul.

Meanwhile, 22-year-old four-time grand slam champion Iga Swiatek will be the first seed in the women’s singles, with Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka coming in just behind.

Last year’s champion Elena Rybakina completes the ladies’ top three.
