(Reuters)London: Defending champion Andy Murray's indifferent form of late did not prevent him being named top seed for Wimbledon for the first time on Wednesday. Djokovic - a two time Wimbledon champion - and seven- time champion Federer both benefit from Wimbledon organisers habit of not sticking blindly to the world rankings. 3 Stan Wawrinka - overwhelmed by Nadal in the French Open final - has never reached the last four at Wimbledon and drops to fifth seeding. The pressure Murray feels at Wimbledon actually helps him concentrate better, the defending champion has said. Murray has won eight titles on grass and his Wimbledon win last July was the beginning of a dominant run that took him to the top of the rankings.
