The numbers you asked about next to the names, these are not world ranking positions. The numbers in brackets denote the rankings each player has for this Wimbledon tournament only and it is decided by the tournament organisers.

In the men side Djokovic is seeded 1, Medvedev is seeded 2 and Zverev is seeded 4th with Federer seeded 6th.

In the women side Barty is seeded 1, Sabalenka is seeded 2 and Pliskova is seeded 8th.

As for famous players not participating, can you name them? Nadal is the only one I can think of who pulled out because of wanting to extend his playing career and the other is British female number one Joanna Konta who could not participate because she came in to close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

As mentioned by Jating other players such as Tsitsipas were knocked and other players such as Serena Williams withdrew while playing because she got injured. Which famous names are you referring to?

Those are players rank, so if you see, (1) Novak Djokovic is currently rank number 1 in this tournament and is the current number 1 player in tennis.

Djokovic has a clear path here and his chance to win the Wimbledon is high. Although the sentimental favourite here is Federer, but I doubt that he can reach the semis.

Almost all of the top players are participating here, this is a major grand slam tournament. If you don't see your favourite players, it's either they didn't enter because they are injured or they have been eliminated in the early rounds like Tsitsipas.

Why are there some players that have a number in them while the other don't? Just a curious question, really interested with Wimbledon even though tennis is far from popular in my country. Also, why are some of the famous players aren't participating in this tournament?

It has been a difficult time for tennis fans because the pandemic has caused disruption in sport has it has done in all walks of life. Wimbledon 2020 was cancelled but it has been a super success so far in Wimbledon 2021. We are in to the second week of the tournament which is home to the game of Tennis.

Still in the draw are: Djokovic, Barty, Shapovalov, Zverev, Medvedev, Pliskova and Keys... and above them all in talent and grace is a man is also present and who will become 40 years old next month and is aiming for his 9th Wimbledon title and for his 13th Wimbledon final: Roger Federer
