Eight-time champion Roger Federer has been seeded ahead of great rival Rafael Nadal for his 21st appearance at Wimbledon.
Wimbledon is unique among the Grand Slams in having a formula to calculate seedings giving weight to grass-court performances, and Federer will be the No 2 seed and Nadal three in a reversal of their world ranking positions.
That means Nadal, who was critical of the system in an interview with Spanish TV on Tuesday, is guaranteed to be in the same half of the draw as either Federer or top seed and defending champion Novak Djokovic.
South Africa’s Kevin Anderson is seeded fourth, well ahead of his ranking of eighth, after reaching the final for the first time last year, with Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas all bumped down one position.
Kei Nishikori, John Isner and Karen Khachanov round off the top 10 while British No 1 Kyle Edmund is seeded 30th, one place above his ranking.
The women’s seedings are the same as the rankings.
French Open champion Ashleigh Barty tops the pile for the first time at a Grand Slam ahead of Naomi Osaka.
Defending champion Angelique Kerber is seeded fifth, Serena Williams 11th and British No 1 Johanna Konta 19th.
The official draw takes place on Friday, June 28.
It will be conducted at 10am BST.
Is the Wimbledon draw on TV?
Unfortunately, the draw will not be televised but coverage of the tournament itself will be on BBC One and BBC Two from Monday, July 1.
How does the Wimbledon draw work?
Before the draw takes place, the 32 seeds for each category are removed to be added back in later.
The non-seeded competitors are then randomly assigned their place in the first round via a special computer software.
Not every player will have an opponent at this stage, which is where the seeded players come back in to fill out the draw.
Both the men’s and women’s singles tournament take place over seven rounds, from the first round through to the final.
The 32 seeded players are placed in such a way that they will not meet until at least the third round, preserving bigger clashes to later in the tournament.
Furthermore, the top two seeds in each category are placed so that they cannot meet before the final.
