Since 1927 only two unseeded players have won singles titles at Wimbledon – Boris Becker in 1985 and Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

Between 2002 and 2019, seeding for the Men’s Singles was determined by a surface-based formula, which reflected more accurately an individual player’s grass court achievements in the two years immediately before the date used for seeding.
After The Championships 2019, it was decided that the seeding formula had served its time and Wimbledon moved into step with the other Grand Slams.
