Kyrgios seeded 20th for Wimbledon

Australia's top title hope Nick Kyrgios has missed an all-important top-16 seeding for Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios and Daria Gavrilova, Australia's top two Wimbledon hopes, have both been seeded 20th for the grasscourt grand slam starting on Monday.

Defending champion Andy Murray is the top seed in the men's event, with fellow multiple champions Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer both elevated above their rankings to second and third seeding respectively.

World No.1 Angelique Kerber is the women's top seed ahead of Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova, all in order of their world rankings.
