2023 Wimbledon Seeds confirmed with Alcaraz and Swiatek leading, defending champions Djokovic and Rybakina in top three
ATP
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Poland’s Iga Swiatek will be the
top-seeded players at Wimbledon this year.
The third Grand Slam of 2023 will be played from 03-16 July
in London. According to a report published in the Independent, Alcaraz will
be top-seed in the men’s singles category whereas Swiatek will be the top-seed
player in the women’s singles category.
Alcaraz has been in phenomenal form this year where he has
lost just four out of 44 matches. On the other hand, Swiatek, who is also the world
number one, has lost just six times in 42 outings in 2023.
Defending champion Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, who has won
Wimbledon four times in a row since 2018, is the second-seed player in the men’s
singles category.
His last defeat in the competition came back in 2017 against
Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals where the 36-year-old was forced to retire
because of an injury in his right arm.
Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina, who clinched the title last
year in the women’s singles category, is seeded third this year.
Former world number one and two-time Wimbledon champion Andy
Murray has not been included in the seeded players category. The draw will
take place on Friday, 30 June when the final schedule for this year’s mega-event
will be announced.
The prize money of the tournament is also increased by 10.9
from last year. In the men’s category, the money distributed will be more than £3.21 million.
The winners of both men’s and women’s single categories will take £2.35
million home, an increase of more than 17 per cent compared to the last year.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
