Murray seeded third for Wimbledon

[FansFocus.Com]

Britain's Andy Murray has been confirmed as the number three seed for Wimbledon, which starts on Monday.

 

The 22-year-old Scot is seeded in line with his world ranking of three, behind defending champion Rafael Nadal and five-time champion Roger Federer.

 

World number one Dinara Safina, who has never been past the third round at Wimbledon, heads the women's seedings.

 

Five-time and defending champion Venus Williams is the number three seed, with her sister Serena at number two.

 

Bjorn Borg, who won five successive Wimbledon titles from 1976, has backed Murray to end Britain's long wait for a men's champion in the near future.....

I think you'll find that this is not news considering the jock it ranked number three in the world and the two that are ranked above him are playing in the tournament also.

 

Sort of a no brainer, but if nadal fails his fitness test tomorrow then there may be some news!

It's about the fairest seeding at Wimbledon for years.

 

Trouble is, if Andy fails to deliver the good, the press will cruify him !

NADAL.............

 

...... has just announced that he is pulling out of Wimbledon this year because of his 'knee-injury'.

 

Makes yer fink, dunnit, seeing as how he had a practice session against Murray a couple of days ago.

You are a bit of a c0ck aren't you JR.... are you seriously suggesting that the current wimbledon champ and possibly the best tennis player for a generation was scared off because he had a knock around with Murray?

I think you'll find that it's not unusual for those that are ranked in similar positions to knock up together a few days before a tournament.

Then again, I doubt you'd be able to see that from your armchair!!!!!!

How is it fair you fool....

There are no surprises, they have simply put the seeds to the world rankings and haven't taken their grass play ability into account.

But then as most folk (you included) only ever watch one tournament who would know any different???
