Sinner Top Seed at Wimbledon, Djokovic Falls to 7th
20 Jun
Summary
- Jannik Sinner secures top seed at Wimbledon for third consecutive year.
- Novak Djokovic seeded seventh due to recent inactivity.
- Carlos Alcaraz withdraws from Wimbledon due to wrist injury.
Jannik Sinner has been confirmed as the top seed at Wimbledon for the third consecutive year, leading the draw. Following him is French Open champion Alexander Zverev, who will head the bottom half. Novak Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon winner, has been seeded a surprising seventh, a result of his limited tournament participation this year. His last event was the French Open, where he exited in the third round.
World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz will not compete due to a wrist injury. This withdrawal had already established the top two seeding positions some time ago. Other notable withdrawals include Lorenzo Musetti and Valentin Vacherot, both due to injuries. This has caused several players to move up in the projected seedings, with Ugo Humbert, Ignacio Buse, and Matteo Arnaldi now within the top 32.
Among the projected seeds, American Taylor Fritz could potentially rise to No. 4 if he wins the Halle Open this week. Frances Tiafoe, currently ranked 20th, has a chance to move up to 17th if he wins the Queen's Club Championship. Teenagers Rafael Jodar and Joao Fonseca have also secured comfortable spots within the projected seeds.
