At Wimbledon 2008, Not one of the Number 1 seeds won a title. Has this happened before at Wimbledon?

Question

Even in the Championship finals, it was seldom that the better seeded player won. Men's final; #2 beat #1; Women's final: #7 beat #6; Girls' final: unseeded beat #3, and so on. I think only in the Women's Doubles and Men's doubles did the better seeds win.

Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Ana only entered one event so she only was going after one title. Same with Roger. If you're saying a #1 seed has never won a Wimbledon title, that's wrong.

But usually you're right. The higher seeds usually do well than the lower seeds, but this time it was pretty bad. I think I heard this was the first time that none of top #3 seeds made it to the second week in the open era.

Answer 2

good question.have a star.
