How can Nadal not be in the top four seeds?

Two time Wimbledon champion, with five finals all together. And for W, they always look at past performances...Is this because of what Rosol did to him?

Seeds 5-8 are pretty strong actually.

Nadal - duh
Tsonga - 2 times semifinalist, in good form
Berdych - former finalist, has won Halle
Delpo - bronze Medal in London, huge weapons, bad form

Considering their current form, I guess Delpo, Berdych, Ferrer would be the weakest among the 8 seeds. Maybe a Haas or a Gasquet or a Kohli can sneak in there. I don't expect any big surprises though.

Results on grass over the last two years are factored in, which obviously includes WO loss to Rosol. Missing Halle, Queens and Olympics can be problematic too.

MY has done well out of it though, and his bump up looks justified on the strength of his match against RF.

You seems to emphasize on Rosol a lot nowadays. You have been ambushed by 'Rosol Fever'. It would take 7 months to heal. :twisted:

And then Murray upset early. Ferrer getting to Wimbledon final due to easy draw.

I am sure it would be Djokovic-Federer and Murray-Ferrer half with Nadal in QF against either Djokovic or Federer. :mad:

Djokovic/Delpo Ferrer/Nadal top half.
Federer/Berdych Murray/Tsonga bottom half.

Someone Make this happen. Please.

Djokovic/Delpo Ferrer/Nadal top half.
Federer/Berdych Murray/Tsonga bottom half.

That's too unbalanced.

If those are the QF's, it would be more fun to have Fed/Berd in the top half and Ferrer/Nadal in the bottom half.

But to each his own ofcourse!

Worst scenario for Nadal:

vs God mode Rosol

Lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice. That was a one off. Let's face it, if they hadn't waited 3/4's of an hour for the roof to close, which incidently was totally uneccessary, Rosol would very likely have lost.

It's because he lost to 100 ranked player and then was too afraid to play Olympics.

Haha that Rosol monkey on Rafa's back ... Yea, my guess is Rafa'll probably go on a rampage against Rosol if they meet again.

The only joke is murray seeded above Federer, talk about bias

Well, why is it a joke to seed Murray above Federer and not,say, Djokovic? After all, Murray at least beat Federer the last time they played at Wimbledon in a best of 5 match and has just won Queens for the 3rd time. When has Djokovic ever beaten Federer at Wimbledon or in any other grass tournament?

If that wasn't proof that Wimby fixes draws, I don't know what is :)
This time if Nadal lands in Murray or Djokovic's quarter, I will accept that there is no draw rigging. If he lands in Federer's quarter, I won't be convinced there is no rigging, but maybe it is 50-50. If he lands in Ferrer's quarter, I will continue to believe 100% that draws are rigged.

(Please don't tell me about how there is 25% probability of Nadal landing in Ferrer's quarter. It will be a lame argument after years of other such coincidences)

What about the French, Nadal wasn't in Feds or Ferrer's half.

I was thinking the same.
Federer is Halle champion, Wimbledon champion and Olympic finalist.
Why is he not number 1?
Murray is Queen's champion, Wimbledon finalist and Olympic champion and reached the semi final or better of the last 4 Wimbledons.
If the seedings are based on recent Wimbledon and grass court form then it seems a bit strange.

The seedings are based on their current rankings, with minor additions due to grass-court form over the past two years. (That change is small enough that it didnt' affect anybody's seeding in the top 5.)

Whoa, blaming the roof for a loss against a 100 ranked player is a bit of a laugh.

If he could be seeded 5 at Roland Garros, then Wimbledon doesn't need any justification to do it there. His accomplishments on the grass, while among the all-time greats, pales in comparison to what he's done on the French clay.

They have a speficic points formula based on grass results the last 2 years. Ferrer has a round of 16 and quarterfinal the last 2. Nadal has a runner up but a 2nd round loss. I guess combined Nadals very narrow edge in results on grass the last 2 years did not overcome Ferrers slight points lead. It is done by a specific formula that is calculated, so while they do adjust seedings per rank, it still isnt subjective. Of course if they allowed themselves any subjectivity in their seedings it is safe to say Nadal would have been seeded over Ferrer given his vastly superior grass abilities and Wimbledon history.

The players I bolded are proven grass players. Delpo not so much, even though I'm a big fan of him.

So the Wimby draw doesn't prove anything. 50-50 chances that draws are rigged :)

Don't consign RN to history, he must have a few more wins in him.

To be honest, if RN loses to RF, he won't have had a great three years at WO.
