Djokovic climbs to second position, Boulter secures final place

Djokovic up to No. 2, Boulter gets last spot


The list of seeds for Wimbledon was finalized following last week’s grass-court tournaments since the ATP and WTA rankings won’t change again prior to Friday’s draw ceremony. Both the men’s and women’s singles draws will be revealed at 10:00 am on Friday morning at the All-England Club.

Jannik Sinner remains No. 1 in the world on the ATP and will therefore be the top seed at the season’s third Grand Slam. Novak Djokovic is up to No. 2 after Carlos Alcaraz failed to defend his 500 points from last year’s Queen’s Club title (lost in the second round to Jack Draper).

On the women’s side, the top four seeds are Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena Rybakina. Whereas Rybakina won Wimbledon in 2022, the top three players in the world are all seeking their first triumph in SW19. The only British woman who is seeded is Katie Boulter. She has climbed to No. 32 in the rankings thanks in part to grass-court title in Nottingham earlier this month.

Here is the full list of seeds:

Men’s


Seed Player
1 Jannik Sinner
2 Novak Djokovic

Women’s


Seed Player
1 Iga Swiatek
2 Coco Gauff

Qualifying is taking place this week in Roehampton and main-draw action at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships starts next Monday.
