Who will fight whom?: Know the seeding orders of athletes for Wimbledon 2025

WIMBLEDON, LONDON: As Wimbledon 2025 is fast approaching, the best tennis players in the world will compete for the big prize, and fans are eager to watch out for intense matches and special moments all throughout the tournament. 

However, the question is: Who will fight whom? 

All about final draw seedings in a Grand Slam

For Wimbledon 2025, the main draw will be announced on Jun 27. The possible matches are based on the athlete’s seedings. Just like other tennis tournaments, the top two seeds can only play against each other in the finals. Moreover, the third and fourth seeds can be placed in either the top or bottom half of the draw. 

Seeding is a method used in tennis to place the top players in a tournament draw, thereby preventing them from playing against each other during the early matches of the competition. 

Here are the possible matches based on the seeding: 

Quarterfinals 

• Seeds 1-4 can play against  5-8

Round of 16

• Seeds 1-4 can play against 13-16
• Seeds 5-8 can play against 9-12

Third round

• Seeds 1-8 can play against 25-32
• Seeds 9-16 can play against 17-24
