Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams have been named as top seeds for Wimbledon while 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal is seeded 10th in wake of his recent struggles with form.
While defending champion Djokovic will attempt to heal his scars from the French Open final loss to Stanislas Wawrinka, five-time winner Serena will try to increase her tally of Grand Slams to 21.
Meanwhile, seven-time champion Roger Federer is seeded second above 2013 winner Andy Murray.
Nadal, the 14-time Grand Slam champion, endured a dismal record at the All England Club in recent times, losing in the second, first and fourth round on his last three visits, Sport24 reported.
The Spaniard was recently dethroned as French Open champion and despite securing the grass-court title in Stuttgart, he crashed out of the Queen's Club after losing to Alexander Dolgopolov in his opening match.
