Roger Federer reveals the only benefit from overtaking Rafael Nadal in Wimbledon seeding

Roger Federer, 37, has said he is not overly bothered by the prospect of being the second seed at Wimbledon ahead of Rafael Nadal but feel it will help in his planning. The seeding for the men’s draw at Wimbledon does not follow the ATP rankings like at the other Grand Slams. The draw for Wimbledon will take place on June 28, Friday before the tournament gets underway on July 1. “It might make no difference if Rafa is in my section (laughs),” he said. “I guess you could say I avoid Novak in the semis. But at the end of the day that is so far away. What it helps me [to do] is plan earlier. That’s it.”
