Tennis:British number one Andy Murray has been seeded fourth for the upcoming Wimbledon Championships, while defending champion Serena Williams is seeded eighth in the women's draw.
Murray is ranked fourth in the world and heads into the event in great form, having won the AEGON Championships warm-up event at Queen's.
However, he will face stiff opposition, headed by the defending champion and world number one Rafael Nadal, who will be the top seed.
Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic is having a superb 2011 and he is seeded second, while Roger Federer will be bidding for his seventh Wimbledon crown and is seeded third.
Last year's runner-up Tomas Berdych has been promoted to sixth-seed, while three-time finalist Andy Roddick finds himself seeded eighth.
In the women’s draw defending champion Williams has been seeded eighth despite dropping to 26th in the world rankings after a lengthy spell out with injury and illness since winning the title at the All England Club last year.
However Williams, who has returned to action at the warm-up tournament at Eastbourne, will now avoid the top-ranked players in the opening rounds at SW19.
World number one Caroline Wozniacki has been ranked as the top seed, with Kim Clijsters named as the second seed. Vera Zvonareva is the third seed, with French Open champion Li Na seeded fourth.
The draws for the event are scheduled to take place on Friday.
