London: World No.1 Tennis player Rafael Nadal (Spain) was on Wednesday seeded second for the upcoming 2018 Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Nadal is currently holding the pole position in the ATP rankings, but owing to the special classification system used by the English Grand Slam event, he has been given second seed right after his arch-rival and off-court friend Roger Federer.
