Novak Djokovic will be the number one seed at Wimbledon this year while defending champion Andy Murray has been seeded third, behind Rafael Nadal.

Roger Federer is the fourth seed, while Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka is fifth. The top ten is completed by Tomas Berdych, David Ferrer, Milos Raonic, John Isner and Kei Nishikori.

Djokovic has won Wimbledon once - in 2011 - and was beaten in last year's final by Murray. He has six Grand Slam titles to his name, having won the Australian Open on four occasions as well as the US Open in 2011.

So far this year he has been knocked out of the Australian Open in the quarter-finals before being beaten by Nadal in the French Open final.

In the women's tournament, Serena Williams will once again be the top seed ahead of Li Na, Simona Halep, Agnieszka Radwanska and French Open champion Maria Sharapova.

Williams was knocked out by Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round at Wimbledon 12 months ago and has also suffered surprise defeats at the first two Grand Slams of this year - to Ana Ivanovic at the Australian Open and to Garbine Muguruza in the second round of the French Open.

She has won the Wimbledon title on five occasions - in 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010 and 2012.

Murray is 4.33 to win the men's title at Wimbledon, while Djokovic is available at 2.75. Serena Williams can be backed at 2.37 to win the women's title, with Sharapova available at 6.50.
