World number one Rafael Nadal is seeded to retain the Wimbledon trophy he won last year.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki are the top two seeds for next week's Wimbledon
- Nadal will be looking to retain his men's title while Wozniacki is seeking a first slam
- Defending women's champion Serena Williams has been seeded eighth
(CNN) -- Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki have been named as the top seeds for next week's Wimbledon tournament, the third grand slam of the season.
Defending champion Nadal heads the men's section from Novak Djokovic and six-time champion Roger Federer, as the All England Club organizers chose to adhere to the top five placings in the current world rankings.
Further down the list, there are small changes from the official rankings, with last year's finalist Tomas Berdych named as the sixth seed, up one place from his world mark, while Andy Roddick is two places higher at eighth.
The woman's seedings are complicated by the return from injury of both Williams sisters, with defending champion Serena ranked eighth and older sister Venus in as the 24th seed.
