Seeded players at Wimbledon are the cream of the crop, the finest in the world, and while there are a few notable absentees from the lists, the tournament is still stacked with talent.

The most glaring absentee is Rafael Nadal, who was seeded N0.2 in the 2022 tournament, though Novak Djokovic fills that slot, right behind top seed Carlos Alcaraz.

The Wimbledon seedings were previously based on an algorithm that took into account performances from SW19 the previous year, as well as the ATP and WTA Rankings.

That system was abolished in time for the 2021 edition, replaced by the universal method that simply determines the seeds based on official world rankings at the time of the Wimbledon draw.

Of course, this system also takes absentees into account – so if the world No.4 is absent, for example, everyone below moves up a seeding position.

That’s how it all works leading up to the big event, but there are obviously no guarantees in sport, with plenty of shocks to be anticipated throughout the tournament.

RadioTimes.com brings you the full lists of seeded men’s and women’s players.

As the tournament progresses, we will updated the seeded lists detailing when each player is eliminated so you can track their progress.
