This is super-strong for an ATP !! Luckily Andy won't have to play any of the top 7 until the quarters so he's got a good chance of defending his pts from last year, hopefully he avoids Djokovic, Ferrero and Henman in the early rounds, probably the most dangerous floaters.
I wish Andy had picked either Lyon or St Petersburg this week instead, where the draws are relatively weak and he would have been one of the big favourites for the title, in Lyon he would have been 4th seed.
Seedings are based on the rankings the week before the event (i.e. before this weeks points hit) As of Monday Murray was behind Djokovic and so will be seeded below him
