Wimbledon announced its rankings for the impending 2023 Championships on Wednesday which will take place on July 3 at the All England Club. In winning the title at Queen’s Club last week, world number one Carlos Alcaraz ranked men ahead of seven-time Wimbledon champion and 22-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic. The two are only expected to meet in the final. In the women’s singles category, world number one Iga Swiatek took first place, and Aryna Sabalenka, semi-finalist at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships, took second place and was placed at the other end of the table.
Why is Carlos Alcaraz the number one seed at Wimbledon 2023 ahead of Novak Djokovic?
In July 2020, the All England Club made the important but important decision to discontinue the ranking formats they used on grass courts, and that the standings would follow the standings of the men’s and women’s singles draw rounds.
“Due to the quality of competition, recreation and modern turf pitches, after detailed discussion with groups of players, the AELTC has determined that the grass seed formula used since 2002 has run its course,” the club said in 2020. The seeds in the men’s singles draw will be based solely on ranking. There will be no change in the way seeds are distributed in the women’s singles draw. »
Thus, Alcaraz, who returned to the top of the ATP rankings after winning his first title on grass last week, is in first place ahead of defending champion Djokovic, who will seek to win his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title. The same goes for Swiatek, who hasn’t made it past the fourth round in three matches in SW19 – 2019 (1R), 2021 (4R), 2022 (3R).
Is Andy Murray seeded for Wimbledon 2023?
Murray is a two-time All England Club champion having won in 2013 and 2016. But the 36-year-old was a bit cold before hitting the grass courts. Despite winning back-to-back competitive titles in Surbiton and Nottingham, with a 10-match winning streak, Murray lost to Alex de Minaur in his first ATP 500 event at Queen’s Club. Later on Tuesday, he lost in straight sets to Holger Rohn at the Hurlingham Classic, an annual event leading up to Wimbledon.
Although both competitors’ titles saw Murray raise his ranking to world number 38, he missed out on top seed Sharp at Wimbledon this year. He will already be competing for the wildcard spot. Meanwhile, Britain’s Cameron Norrie is ranked 12th and Dan Evans is ranked 28th.
Where do Nick Kyrgios and Elena Rybakina rank?
Although injury has limited Kyrgios to just one match so far in 2023, which has seen him pull out of two warm-up events at Wimbledon, a run to last year’s SW19 final and the quarter-final at the US Open means the Australian will be in action. tournament. . Classified calm. Finished last on the list.
Rybakina has become a force to be reckoned with on the WTA Tour, but she hasn’t been the same since her title in Rome, which includes her withdrawal from the French Open in the third round due to respiratory problems. In her only event on grass, she fell to Donna Vekic in Berlin in the last 16 before again withdrawing from the Eastbourne event due to illness. She was seeded third at Wimbledon this year, although there is no confirmation of her participation yet.
Will Russia and Belarus players participate in Wimbledon 2023?
In 2022, Russian and Belarusian players are banned from competing at Wimbledon after invading Ukraine. Wimbledon was the only Grand Slam event to achieve this feat, making it the first since after World War II when both German and Japanese players were banned. However, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) has lifted the ban for the 2023 edition, although players are only allowed to participate as neutrals. This means that Daniil Medvedev, Sabalenka and Andrey Rublev will be part of the tournament this year.
