Nadal Thinks Comments On The Choice Of Wimbledon Ranking Federer as Number 2 : "It's not fair"
Sparks between stars. The choice of Wimbledon organizers to promote seedless Roger Federer, who is number 3 in the world rankings behind the Spaniard, is not welcome to Rafa Nadal. He, Nadal, thinks that the organisers do not respect the status of the ranking. The only thing Nadal thinks in it all that does not seem good to him is that it is only Wimbledon that does. He disclosed this in an interview with the Spanish channel Movistar. According to Nadal, the happening is not just in his case but one that has happened many times become some players, for their merits, got a certain ranking because they played well all year on all surfaces. TRADITION - While the other Grand Slam tournaments award seeding following the ATP rankings, Wimbledon uses ranking but also grass tournament results. As a result Federer, no 3 Atp but fresh winner of the Halle tournament, should get second seeded status behind world number 1 Novak Djokovic, thus relegating Nadal to third place. Which, in principle, should be worth less for a Spanish draw. Nadal just won his 12th Roland Garros and chases the third Wimbledon title after the 2008 title and 2010.
