MEN'S SEEDS

32 players will be seeded in the men's and ladies' singles. These will be the top 32 players on the ATP Entry System Position (ESP) and the WTA Tour ranking.

The seeds are the top 32 players on the ATP Entry System Position (ESP), BUT then rearranged on a surface-based system. A seeding Committee is not required for the Gentlemen’s Singles since the seeding order is determined using an objective and transparent system to reflect more accurately an individual player’s grass court achievements: The formula is:

· Take ESP points at 16 June 2008

· Add 100% points earned for all grass court tournament in the past 12 months

· Add 75% points earned for best grass court tournament in the 12 months before that.

LADIES' SEEDS

The seeds are the top 32 players on the WTA Tour rankings. The seeding order will follow the ranking list, except where in the opinion of the Committee, the grass court credentials of a particular player necessitates a change in the interest of achieving a balanced draw. This year, no changes were made in the singles.

Yeah i would have picked Federer to win it but what a match and what a champion Federer is. Fantastic to come back from 2 sets down but there was no denying Nadal. It will be interesting to see how Nadal performs at the US Open as he has a poor record there. Federer has won it the past 4 years and should still start favourite.
