Seeding Serena Williams at Wimbledon is a no-brainer, says Caroline Wozniacki.
The Australian Open champion says seven-time Wimbledon champion Williams deserves to be seeded for The Championships, which begin on July 2nd.

"She's (Serena Williams) the greatest player to ever play the sport," Wozniacki told the media in Eastbourne. "Having won so many Grand Slams and being No. 1 for so many years, she deserves a seeding."
The 23-time Grand Slam champion was not seeded at Roland Garros last month.
USTA President Katrina Adams announced the US Open will update its seeding policy to take into account players returning from maternity leave.
World No. 1 Simona Halep and Viktoria Azarenka have also expressed support for seeding Williams, who was world No. 1 when she took a break from tennis to give birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia.
"I think she should have been actually No. 1 seed in this tournament because she left as No. 1 in the world," Halep said at Indian Wells in March. "And to give birth, it's the best thing in the world. It's more than a sport. So I think she should have been ranked as she left.
"Not taking the ranking because she didn't play tournaments, but just protected ranking for—I don't know how many tournaments you have, like, eight. She could be the No. 1 seed for that, for those tournaments. This is my opinion."
