World number one and defending champion Novak Djokovic,
seeking a third Wimbledon crown, is the top seed while
seven-time champion Roger Federer of Switzerland is seeded
second.
Murray, 28, who became the first Briton to win the men's title
for 77 years when he triumphed in 2013, was in sublime form when
he won the Queen's Club tournament for the fourth time on Sunday
and has been heavily backed to follow that up with another
Wimbledon success.
Rafa Nadal of Spain, who won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, but
lost in the first round at Queen's last week, is seeded 10th and
will be one opponent the top seeds will want to avoid assuming
he makes it through to the last 16.
Serena Williams of the United States, seeking her sixth
Wimbledon title, is the top seed in the women's section, with
last year's champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic seeded
second.
