2017 finalist Angelique Kerber will be the top seed at Wimbledon for a first time. The German, who lost to Serena Williams last year in the final, has struggled this season reaching just one final in 12 events, and losing first round at the French and fourth round at the Australian.

A “chilled” Novak Djokovic met the press yesterday in Eastbourne, and the Serb doesn’t sound overly concerned or worried that a year ago he held all four Grand Slams, and no he holds none.
