Wimbledon: Serena Williams Top Seed Serena Williams will be seeded No. 1 for Wimbledon, despite being ranked only 10th in the world. The two-time defending champion received a big break in the seedings announced Wednesday by the All England Club, which took into account her previous record and prowess on grass. Venus Williams, who lost to her sister in the last two Wimbledon finals and is ranked eighth, also got a break when she was seeded No. 3. Thursday's draw will determine whether the Williams sisters could meet for a third straight year in the final. Russia's Anastasia Myskina, the French Open champion who is ranked No. 3, is seeded second for Wimbledon, which begins Monday. The seedings were more straightforward for the men, with the top four following the rankings. Defending champion and top-ranked Roger Federer is No. 1, followed by Andy Roddick. Guillermo Coria, who lost in the French Open final, is No. 3, with 2002 Wimbledon runner-up David Nalbandian at No. 4. Britain's Tim Henman was bumped up from sixth in the rankings to No. 5 in the seedings. Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero dropped from fifth to sixth. Lleyton Hewitt, the 2002 champion, was seeded at No. 7 -- three places above his ranking.
