Wimbledon 2018: Djokovic Seeded 12th Looking To Return To Form

When the seedings for a tennis tournament are announced, the top 32 players in the world are ranked in order based on their ATP or WTA ranking. These rankings are determined by a player’s success in previous tournaments. Novak Djokovic, who is currently ranked 12th in the world, was seeded 12th for the 2018 Wimbledon tournament. Djokovic has had a tough few years, struggling with injuries and poor form. He has failed to make it past the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam tournament since winning the 2016 French Open. As a result, his ranking has slipped from number 2 in the world to number 12. Despite his poor recent form, Djokovic is still a dangerous opponent. He is a former Wimbledon champion, having won the tournament in 2011. He also has a strong record at Wimbledon, having reached the semi-finals or better in eight of the last nine years. The seedings for Wimbledon are based on the ATP rankings, which are calculated using a player’s results over the last 52 weeks. Djokovic’s ranking has been hurt by his poor recent results, but he is still a top player and a dangerous opponent.
