With Wimbledon starting on Monday the draw is scheduled to take place in two days time but today the seedings were announced with Serena Williams being given a huge boost - she's seeded eight despite her current world ranking of 26.
随着周一温网开始，预计抽签将在两天内进行，但是今天种子选手的出场顺序已经公布，帮小威廉姆斯做了一个大宣传——尽管她目前世界排名第26，但是排名第八。
Organizers say it's in keeping with her previous record at the tournament where between her and sister Venus they've won 9 of the last 11 Wimbledon titles.
主办方称，这符合她先前在锦标赛的记录，即她和她姐姐大威廉姆斯一起赢得之前11个温布尔顿冠军中的9个。
She's out of match practice though and augers well for the recently crowned French Open Champion, Li Na of China, seeded fourth. The top four seedings are the same as the current world rankings.
虽然中国选手李娜没有参加比赛训练，而且在最近卫冕的法网公开赛上表现得很好，排名第四。前四名的种子选手跟目前世界排名一样。
And on the men's side, defending champion Rafael Nadal is seeded No. 1, followed by Novak Djokovic at No. 2. This is the first time in eight years that Roger Federer is not in the top two, bumped down to 3 this year and the eternal local hope Andy Murray is seeded 4th.
而在男子组方面，上届冠军Rafael Nadal排名第一，Novak Djokovic接着排名第二。这是Roger Federer八年来第一次没有排在前两名，今年跌到第三，而当地人永远的希望Andy Murray排名第四。
