Wimbledon seeding is out.

Simona Halep is the top seed, with Roger Federer her counterpart in the men's draw.

Williams is seeded one place lower than Maria Sharapova, who she was due to meet in the fourth round of the French Open before pulling out because of injury. Her sister Venus is the ninth seed.

British number ones Johanna Konta and Kyle Edmund are seeded 22nd in their respective draws.

I know Bouchard can be unpleasant but she is normally friendly to the media. I wonder what is up. She won in the end but tough q3 game coming up.

Dont know how much of this i will catch. Going to be hard with the WC and the Tour(Go Richie) on at the same time.
I'll be following it very closely. Once wimbledon is over i don't follow much of the tennis through the american swing because the time zone is horrible for me. I've got 2 weeks holidays over thr e next 2 weeks so its a brilliant time.
 
Court 11 from 11am local (8pm here):
2/104-R. Bemelmans (BEL) v 30/162-B. Tomic (AUS)
2/97-M. Duque-Marino (COL) v 191-E. Bouchard (CAN)

Genie has won just 11 Grand Slam matches in 3 years. She didn't make the main draw at RG.

Cibulkova isn't happy
I can see why. Ranked 4th mid last year, now down to 32. Lost R1 at AO and RG, her worst ever start to the Grand Slam season (dating back to 2007) and she might cop a very tough 1st round opponent. With any luck she will get a potentially easy path to the 3rd round.
 
If you have a seeding system that has a discretionary component then you really need to use it when a 7 time champion is in Serena's position or you are never going to use it.
If there is ever a time to have someone ranked outside the top 32 and give them a seeding, this is it. Unfortunate for cibulkova, but wimbledon use discretionary seeding for a reason. The players know it can happen.
 
Cibulkova is a mere 12 points from being ranked 31 and seeded 32.

She skipped S-Hertogenbosch where she lost 1st round last year. She lost 1st round at Birmingham last year and this year. Probably just needed 1 win after RO to get her ranking up a notch or 2.
