adminLONDON. — Andy Murray has been seeded second for this year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament with Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams the top seeds.
Wimbledon gets underway on Monday with the draw set to take place on Friday at 10am and Murray has not reached the final since he won the title in 2013, while his other final appearance came in 2012 when he lost to Roger Federer.
The British number one has lost both Grand Slam finals to number one seed Djokovic this year and yesterday’s announcement confirms that the pair cannot meet at the All-England Club until a potentially record-equalling eighth slam final between them.
Djokovic heads to London as the first man since Jim Courier in 1992 to win the first two majors of the year and the red-hot favourite to add a fourth Wimbledon crown and third in succession to his collection of 12 Grand Slam titles.
The Serb has beaten Federer in each of the last two finals in SW19 and the Swiss great, seeking an 18th slam and first since 2012, will be seeded third in his bid for an eighth Wimbledon title. — Sky Sports.
