Running down the top 10 seeds for both the gentlemen and ladies’ draws for Wimbledon.

Next: Most Women's Grand Slam Titles of All-Time

Seeding for the 2015 edition of The Championships at Wimbledon were released on Wednesday morning for both the gentlemen’s and ladies’ draws. To little surprise Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams pulled the top seeds in each bracket. Djokovic has made it to the final in each of the year’s first two majors – winning the Australian Open and falling to Stan Wawrinka at the French Open. Williams, meanwhile, has won the last three Grand Slams and looks to complete her second ever “Serena Slam” at this year’s Wimbledon tournament.

Elsewhere on the men’s side, Roger Federer – winner of the most Wimbledon titles in history (alongside Pete Sampras with seven) – is seeded second, while the home-court hero Andy Murray (the joke goes: Murray is British when winning, Scottish when losing) sits at No. 3. French Open winner Wawrinka is seeded No. 4, with Japan’s Kei Nishikori rounding out the Top 5.

After a disappointing French Open (he didn’t win, which is considered a disappointment for the King of Clay), two-time champion Rafa Nadal is seeded No. 10. Notable names outside the top-10 include Grigor Dimitrov (No. 11), Gilles Simon (No. 12), Jo-Wilfred Tsonga (No. 13), Gael Monfils (No. 18) and Richard Gasquet (No. 21).

On the women’s side, seedings mimic that of the current WTA rankings. Serena is No. 1, with Petra Kvitova and Simona Halep ranked next at Nos. 2 and 3 respectively. Former winner Maria Sharapova sits at No. 4, while at No. 5, Caroline Wozniacki looks to advance beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time in her career. Some notable names outside the top-10 on the ladies’ side include Genie Bouchard (No. 12), Agnieszka Radwanska (No. 13), Andrea Petkovic (No. 14), Venus Williams (No. 16) and Sam Stosur (No. 22).
