Wimbledon officially announced its seeded players for the 2023 Championships on Wednesday. Starting in 2021, Wimbledon abandoned its grass-court formula to alter the seedings–so there are no secrets now; it’s simply based on the world rankings.

who ya got?
Not a lot of suspense given Alcaraz and Djokovic are on opposite sides of the draw.
Most of the top players are poor on grass so this is easy pickings for Novak.
I am not getting carried away with Alcaraz winning Queens. The difference between the players he faced there over BO3 is light years away from playing Novak over best of 5.
Apart from Carlitos I am pretty disappointed with the level of men’s tennis in general right now.
Are you going to write a new page for WTA Wimbledon, Ricky?
Struff out, Shelton now seeded
Yes I saw that!
Very sad Struffy isn’t playing…
I can barely tolerate watching Paul and Wolffe. I can only think of two American ATP players I like: Francis Tiafoe and Seb Korda.
TC better get back to the WTA in Eastbourne in time for Ostapenko’s match. TC is also skipping a WTA SF in Bad Homburg for this show. Even Mannarino vs. Moutet in Mallorca would be better.
Amy, did you like Karolina Muchova?
She is on the Wimbledon seed list. I wonder where she practices on grass? Maybe she is naturally good on all surfaces.
I do like Karolina! She is one of the players I said I wanted to win wimby…
