Wimbledon 2015: Full Draw Results, List of Seedings and Brackets

Defending champion and top seed Novak Djokovic will open his bid for a third Wimbledon title against Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber as he looks to bounce back from his recent French Open final defeat.

British hope Andy Murray—seeded third in the men's draw—comes into the championship off the back of last week's triumph at Queen's Club, and he'll begin his quest for Wimbledon glory against Kazakh Mikhail Kukushkin.

Intriguingly, former world No. 1 Rafa Nadal finds himself seeded 10th in the draw, and could be on for a potential quarter-final clash with Murray. 

In the women's competition, as ever, five-time champion Serena Williams leads the way, and few will expect her to struggle in the opening round against Russia's Margarita Gasparyan. 

The full details of Friday's men's and women's draws can be found via Wimbledon's official website.

Here is a full rundown of the men's and women's seeds for Wimbledon 2015, which begins on Monday:

Top Men's Seeds 

Djokovic had looked invincible in 2015 until he was stunned in the French Open final earlier this month by an inspired Stan Wawrinka performance.

However, the Serbian world No. 1 is still very much the man to beat coming into this year's Wimbledon fresh from a self-enforced break.

His first-round draw could hardly have been tougher, Kohlschreiber having run Roger Federer incredibly close at Halle recently, per BBC Sport.

In fact, Djokovic's path to glory looks mighty difficult, per ESPN Tennis:

Unsurprisingly he has only one goal on the lush grass courts of south west London, per Sky Sports:

I always have high expectations for myself. I've won it a couple of times already in my career so I have to be honest and say I am going to Wimbledon with the intention and desire to win the title but I'm not the only one. There's 128 players in the draw competing to win this most precious trophy we have in sport.

Indeed, he is not the only one. Second seed Federer, a seven-time previous winner at Wimbledon has arguably no better opportunity for an 18th Grand Slam title than this year's championship. He will play Bosnian Damir Dzumhur in his opening match.

Now 33 years old, Federer is still playing outstanding tennis, and he comes to Wimbledon fresh from yet another victory at Halle, per the New York Times' Ben Rothenberg:

Equally, his fellow Swiss Wawrinka could be a threat to Djokovic's title. If ever there were any doubts about Wawrinka's ability and guile, they were washed away after his scintillating Roland Garros performance.

Perhaps Djokovic's biggest challenge, though, will come from Murray. On home turf, where he won in 2013, the Scot is playing the tennis of his life, by his own admission, per BBC Sport:

He eased through the field in the main at Queen's and will have the vociferous backing of the partisan Wimbledon crowd.

Murray has had something of a block against Djokovic in recent times, but he came close to toppling him in the French Open semi-finals, and if the pair meet in the final this year, it should be a bruising encounter.

Much like his Serbian counterpart, Murray has a challenge on his hands if he is to complete a second Wimbledon triumph, per BBC 5 live Sport:

However, as noted by The Guardian's Jacob Steinberg, he has the form to make the final:

Though unlikely to trouble the latter stages of Wimbledon this year, Nadal could still play a key role. Seeded a lowly 10th, the legendary Spaniard's path to the final is littered with tough opponents, per ESPN Tennis:

Though he won on grass in Stuttgart recently , he was toppled in the first round by Alexandr Dolgopolov at Queen's, and will hope to avoid such a fate in his first match against Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci at Wimbledon.

The two-time winner has failed to get past the fourth round in any of the last three showings, and a similar fate could well befall him in 2015.

A Nadal victory would be a fairy tale, but it is highly unlikely to happen. The winner will come from the top four seeds, with Djokovic unlikely to let his title go easily. 

Top Women's Seeds

World No. 1 Williams has a perfect record in 2015 at Grand Slams. She won the Australian Open earlier in the year, and then battled to glory at Roland Garros.

She is undoubtedly the heavy favourite to win at SW19 for a fifth time this year, but Williams will have to reverse a poor set of results from Wimbledon over the last couple of tournaments.

Since triumphing in 2012, Serena has failed to make even the quarter-finals over the last two years, falling in the third round to France's Alize Cornet last year.

The Tennis podcast provides her potential path to victory this year, with a clash against her sister, Venus, a genuine possibility in the fourth round:

Petra Kvitova will certainly be a challenger this year having impressed hugely on her way to the title in 2014. Per USA Today's Nick McCarvel, she was forced to pull out of Eastbourne in her preparations, but certainly has the game to win a third title:

Her first round match against Dutch player Kiki Bertens will kick off the action on Centre Court on Tuesday, and Kvitova will be looking for a fast start.

Since her 2004 victory, Maria Sharapova's best result at Wimbledon has been runner-up in 2011, since then she has failed to make it past the fourth round.

She opens her Wimbledon campaign this year against Johanna Konta, and though it should be a formality, the Brit is in decent form and will have the crowd's backing, per Rothenberg:

The Russian needs to find some decent form if she is to triumph, with her French Open dreams having ended this year at the fourth-round stage.

She has been drawn in Serena's half, thus could face the American in the semi-finals, and she has not beaten her since 2004.

While Williams is the favourite,  and it is arguably hers to lose, Wimbledon tends to throw up a few surprises in the women's draw, and the American is far from guaranteed to go deep. 

Third seed Simona Halep—following a semi-final run last year—and fifth seed Caroline Wozniacki could both trouble the latter stages of the tournament.

What is in no doubt is that the quality on show will be immense and, as ever, the challenge to claim victory at Wimbledon is arguably the toughest task in tennis.
