Hello everyone,,

Was looking for a Wimbledon tournament thread, but couldn't see it ( maybe too minor an event  smile  ).

Anyway, I'll just post as re the seeds as a stand alone thread..

As I presume everyone assumed, Andy is seeded 3.  3/4 makes no real difference. 

If Rafa comes out fit, all guns blazing, although I would still make Roger clear favourite, I kind of think I wouldn't mind Andy being in Roger's half and have him as a potential semi final rather than final opponent.  However much much to happen before we reach that stage.  

Only alteration from rankings in the top 10 that the Wimbledon "grass formula"  has produced is Simon and Verdasco swapping. Big moves up for last year's two losing semi finalists, Safin and Shuettler.

The seedings have to be based on the top 32 ranked players participating, which means Tommy Haas currently misses out by one place. He is not a first round player you want, especially given he's shown on form with his Haale success.  So think a few folk would be happy to see a seed withdraw ( Fed ideally biggrin )  and Haas move into a seeded position.
