Wimbledon 2009: Rafael Nadal become the top seeded for grass-court

One of the four Grand Slam tournaments Wimbledon starts from Monday. Now, top ranked players are taking their preparation. All the matches will take place at the All England Club. Ahead of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament, All England club has announced the ranking of the players where defending champion Rafael Nadal become the top-seeded player. It was expected that five-time winner Roger Federer will get this position. I could not understand their way of seeding system. If it is made based on previous performance then Federer was supposed to be the top ranked player because he had contested the last six finals. However, he is still in number 2 rank. Andy Murray’s performance gave him 3rd rank. However, Russia’s Marat Safin made good improve. He jumps from 23rd to 15 seeds following his good performance and playing in the semi-final round almost one year ago.

Dinara Safina has become the top-raked woman tennis players. She has become No. 1 for Wimbledon.
