Arafel said:Now the question is will Andy be on Rafa's half or Fed's half.
ksbh said:Nadal seeded 2nd?! And Roddick seeded 3 places higher than Hewitt?!
Not very accurate seeding, to say the least.
dozu said:the bigger question is which side will Ljubicic be on. on my book he is the #2 fast court player in the world. It's just weired to have a clay specialist thrown in there to mix up the pot..... if Nadal makes into the 2nd week, you can eat my shorts.
diegaa said:he should be on fed´s.
BTW, Ive been wondering why it is this way (#1 and #3 in the same half and #2 and #4 at the other)
matty p said:so therefore nadal shouldve been seeded 1 at the french open for it to be accurate using that logic right?
Using their logic, Hewitt (former Wimbledon champ) and recent Queens winner, should have been seeded higher than Roddick (2 time finalist) who in turn seeded higher than Nadal.
Seeding is crap, let ranking determine seeds instead of a bunch of old men in the back room. Roddick should be seeded 5th, not 3rd.

The ranking system worked fine at the French and everywhere else.
Moose Malloy said:ksbh,
read my post, it explains their seeding. there is a formula that determines it, no committee.
simi,
Nadal had such a huge lead over #3 in rankings that his queen's results were irrelevant in his seeding.
If Hewitt and Roddick play each other (donno if that's a possibility), I can guarantee Hewitt will beat Roddick.

MonkeyPox said:I don't think Henman did pull out, he's just not in the top 32 anymore I don't think.
Lagger said:Thanks for the input. I would think since he's playing so well on grass lately that he'd be in the top 32. Heck, wasn't he the 5th seed at Queens?
slice bh compliment said:Yeah, he could get Federer in the third round.....or it could end up being as good a draw as anyone's. I just hope he gets a rematch with Henman. Nice contrast in styles. Wish I had seen their match at Queen's Club.
Anyway, when do they make the draw? Thursday? Friday?

By the way, is Boris Becker still the only truely non-seeded/non-wild card
winner in Wimbledon history ?

Wrong.Chadwixx said:It doesnt matter if roddick is the #2, #3, or #4 seed. He will be placed on the other side of the draw as fed. This random seeding placement gives tournament directors alot of flexiblity to get the outcomes they desire.
Tell me exruda, in the past 3 years how many times has roddick and fed been in the same side of the draw?
Hello?! Roddick was seeded 2 the last few years at Wimbledon - of course he was on the other side of the draw and in 2003 he wasn't 2nd seed and was in Feds half, go figure!Chadwixx said:Tell me exruda, in the past 3 years how many times has roddick and fed been in the same side of the draw? Look up that figure and you will understand my original comment.
Random? Lol
