Andy Murray has been seeded three for this year's Wimbledon tournament, but Rafa Nadal is the joker in the pack after being ranked just tenth seed, and could face one of the top four as early as the quarter finals.

Murray's possible route to the final will become clearer after the draw on Friday, but he faces a semi-final showdown against either Novak Djokovic, the defending champion and number one seed, or Roger Federer, who is seeded two, 12 years after winning the first of his eight Wimbledon crowns.
