Defending champion Serena Williams was bumped up to No. 7 in the Wimbledon seedings -- 19 places above her world ranking -- on Wednesday, a position that will allow her to avoid playing the highest-ranked players until at least the quarterfinals.

Williams won her 13th Grand Slam title last year at the All England Club but was injured when she stepped on broken glass at a restaurant in July and needed two foot surgeries. She later had blood clots on her lungs and missed nearly a year of competition.

Yes , It was a nice move (for her) She had not played in about a year though right ? I can't help but think that the sisters will get upset this year . Most of the other players have been playing regularly and what shape they are in might/should be key (along with the draw of course) . I am just now starting to follow tennis and I actually like it quite a bit , want to learn as much as I can about this sport
