Nadal has the lowest seed in Wimbledon history.

The organizers of the 2015 Grass Court Grand Slam tournament announced the seedings for both the men's and women's singles categories yesterday, June 24th.

Nadal will be at a significant disadvantage due to his ranking as the 10th seed.

In the men's singles, the presence of all the top players means that the seedings are no different from the current ATP rankings. Novak Djokovic naturally holds the number one seed, followed by Roger Federer and Andy Murray.

"King of Clay" Rafael Nadal, after failing to defend his Roland Garros title, dropped three places from world number seven to number ten, and this is also his seeding for this year's tournament – ​​the lowest in his career at this event. This means Nadal will face one of the title contenders early in the round of 16. Before Wimbledon, the Spaniard won an ATP 250 title in Stuttgart, but was then eliminated in the first round by Alexandr Dolgopolov at Queen's Club. In the past, the former world number one has won Wimbledon twice, in 2008 and 2010.

Great Britain's hope, third seed Andy Murray, after his victory at Queen's Club and with the support of the London crowd, will be a strong contender. Murray is likely to face Djokovic or Federer in the semi-finals if he plays well.

In the women's tournament, besides Serena Williams and Simona Halep, the seeding has undergone significant changes following Roland Garros. Russian star Maria Sharapova dropped to fourth in the world rankings, meaning she will be seeded number four at Wimbledon. Meanwhile, defending runner-up Eugenie Bouchard, with her poor run of form, has to accept being seeded 12th in London this year. While most tournaments focus on the long-standing rivalry between Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, Wimbledon 2015 will see that attention shifted to a clash between a familiar face – Serena Williams – and a new name, Petra Kvitova – the reigning women's singles champion.

This year's tournament starts on June 29th.
