How does Andy Murray receive Wimbledon seeding after back-to-back Challenger titles to start Grass Court season
ATP
Andy Murray is 10-0 on grass this year with back-to-back trophies in Surbiton and Nottingham though he's not yet a seed at Wimbledon even though he's close.
Andy Murray's goal this year was to earn enough points to possibly be a seeded player at Wimbledon and he's pretty close to it. He needed some impressive showings in the weeks leading up to the event to get it done and he certainly had that. A good run in Surbiton where he won the trophy and another good run in Nottingham where he also ended up with the trophy.
Next up is Queen's for him and that's the event where he can ensure that he'll be a seed at Wimbledon. He needs to win at least one match to be in contention but two wins would ensure that he is a seed. It's a tough draw for the Brit as he faces very good Alex de Minaur in the opening round.

Securing a seeding spot
Murray needs to beat both de Minaur and his next opponent to ensure that he's a seed at Wimbledon though even a win against de Minaur would give him a chance. It's a tough one for the Brit as De Minaur likes to play on grass and is pretty good on it:
“It will be a tough first match. He likes the grass and he is someone I had some tough battles with
in the past. Hopefully, I get some rest in tomorrow and get ready for
Tuesday.”
Murray is playing well though and he can certainly get the win, especailly with his eyes on the prize. There is no shortage of confidence after the good run recently:
“It was great to win another tournament. I played some good tennis this week. I felt better than last week in
Surbiton, which is positive. Hopefully I can keep improving over the
next few weeks. The courts were brilliant. The tournament is really well organised. When the result goes well, players tend to be happy.”

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - 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 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
