Rafael Nadal: 'Wimbledon seeding formula is not fair'
Rafael Nadal's complaint about the Wimbledon formula seeding putting him down to the third position behind of Roger Federer turned very popular. Speaking to the media at Wimbledon on Saturday, the Spaniard said: "I respect all the situations. The stuff is about ATP. ATP we give two thousand points to this event. We let them do whatever they want. That’s something that I don’t understand because I can’t create an impact, not by myself. I really come here to play tennis. For me the goal is the same always, it doesn’t matter if I’m second or third.
Of course, can create an impact in the rankings at the end of the year, for example for Sascha, for Dominic. It is not only about grass. The season is not only on grass. All the players work so hard to be where they are, then arrive here, they see a possibility to be in a tougher draw because of that. Talking about if it is fair or not, I respect the Wimbledon rules. Another thing is if I believe that is fair or not, that’s another story. I really personally believe is not. But I really respect the tournament so much. I really respect the history of this event. I really understand that they see the sport from another perspective. They want to do it by their own rules."
