Wimbledon 2011 Men’s Singles Draw
The 2011 Wimbledon men’s main draw singles matches will begin on Monday 20 June at 12 noon local time in London, Great Britain. There are 128 main draw spots divided up between 16 Qualifiers (Q), 8 Wild Cards (WC) and 104 Direct Acceptances.
Wimbledon was first held in 1877 and is the only Grand Slam that is still played on grass. In the past up to 3 of the 4 Grand Slams were played in grass. The 104 direct acceptances are decided according to who the Top 104 ranked players in the world that are fit and able to compete at Wimbledon this year on 9 May 2011.
Pictured above is 2011 Roland Garros runner-up Roger Federer after setting the ball in place and as he is propelling himself to make contact with the ball during his famous service action. This year the 29-year-old Federer will be aiming to equal the Open-era record of 7 Wimbledon singles titles won by the great Pete Sampras.
The 1.85m Federer from Switzerland won Wimbledon for five years in a row from 2003 to 2007 and he won again in 2009. In 2008 Rafael Nadal upset Federer in the epic final by 9 games to 7 in the fifth and final set. The former World No.1 first achieved the No.1 spot on February 2 in 2004 and is hellbent on regaining it. Can Federer regain the No.1 ranking?
The Seeds: At Wimbledon the seedings have been based on the ATP computer rankings since 1975. The seeded players do not receive a BYE in the 1st round of a Grand Slam event. To win the title a player must win 7 best of 5 set matches in a row. Being seeded means that you the earliest round in the event that you can meet another seeded player is 3rd round in which only 32 players remain.
In a 128-player sized draw there are 32 seeded players. This means that all of the 32 seeds are separated in the draw so that play 2 rounds against lower ranked opponents who are unseeded, before they can meet another seed in the 3rd round.
The Wild Cards: As the wild cards are awarded at the discretion of the All England Lawn Tennis Club Committee they will be listed here straight away-> Three British players James WARD, Daniel EVANS and Daniel COX have been awarded wild cards thus far. Arnaud CLEMENT of France and Alejandro FALLA of Columbia received a wild card each, which leaves three more wild cards that are yet to be announced.
The Qualifiers: The 128-player qualifying tournament begins on Monday 13 June and runs through to Thursday 16 June. The qualifying event at Wimbledon is unlike any other Grand Slam because it is NOT held at the same venue. The qualifying is held at the Bank of England Sports Ground in Roehampton. As soon as each player qualifies for the main draw OCA will add their names right here-> …

The seeding for Wimbledon is done differently to all other tournaments but is still “BASED” on the latest ATP rankings before the draw is made. These rankings will be released on Monday 13 June and the “special” Wimbledon seeding will be officially announced on Thursday 16 June. IF it was done purely according to ranking, currently (as at June 6), the seeds would be:
* Seeds 1-8: 1-Rafael Nadal, 2-Novak Djokovic, 3-Roger Federer, 4-Andy Murray, 5-Robin Soderling, 6-David Ferrer, 7-Tomas Berdych, 8-Gael Monfils
* Seeds 9-16: 9-Mardy Fish, 1o-Andy Roddick, 11-Jurgen Melzer, 12-Viktor Troicki, 13-Richard Gasquet, 14-Stanislas Wawrinka, 15-Nicolas Almagro, 16-Gilles Simon
* Seeds 17-24: 17-Mikhail Youzhny, 18-Florian Mayer, 19-Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 20-Juan Ignacio Chela, 21-Alexandr Dolgopolov, 22-Juan Martin del Potro, 23-Fernando Verdasco, 24-David Nalbandian
* Seeds 25-32: 25-Michael Llodra, 26-Sam Querrey, 27-Marin Cilic, 28-Milos Raonic, 29-Nikolay Davydenko, 30-Thomaz Bellucci, 31-Janko Tipsarevic and 32-Marcos Baghdatis
If any of the seeded players withdraw from Wimbledon prior to the event OCA will update the seeded players list above straight away. If any seed withdraws then World No.33 Guillermo Garcia-Lopez will move into the seedings, the next player in line to be promoted to a seed is No.34 Tommy Robredo followed by No.35 Fabio Fognini.
OCA will be adding the names into the 3rd round match ups for seeds and the full singles draw as it occurs on Friday 17 June right below this. The men’s draw will follow the women’s draw. OCA will add the names of the 16 qualifiers into the full draw below once they are known. At 5pm London time on Thursday 16 June these qualifiers will be allocated a spot in the 1st round.
