Wimbledon seeding system disrespects world rankings: Nadal
   Date :26-Jun-2019

 
RAFAEL Nadal has complained about Wimbledon’s seeding system after the Spaniard was placed at number three, behind Roger Federer, for next week’s Grand Slam in London. “Wimbledon is the only tournament of the year that does it like this,” Nadal told Spanish television channel Movistar on Monday night.
 
“Obviously it would be better to be two than three but if they think I have to be three I will accept three and fight to win the matches I have to win. “Having said that, the only thing that doesn’t seem right about this issue is that it is only Wimbledon that does it. If they all did it, it would seem more correct.
 
“It’s not only about my particular case. There have been many occasions when players have played well all year on all surfaces but Wimbledon does not respect the ranking they have earned.
