Tennis' third Grand Slam at Wimbledon gets underway on June 25 - July 8, with the top tennis players in the world vying for the men's and women's titles. With the tournament just a few days away the top-15 seeds for the men and women were announced.
On the men's side the No. 1 seed is the 2011 Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic. Djokovic will be looking to defend his title and win his second ever Wimbledon championships.
Maria Sharapova was named the top women's seed, and she is worthy of that seed since she is coming off winning the 2012 French Open which gave her the career Grand Slam.
The American contingency is not projected to do all that well, especially on the men's side. Mardy Fish is the highest seeded American man at No. 10, and just behind him is John Isner at No. 11. Serena Williams earned the highest seed for an American and is the No. 6 seed.
