Seeding format won’t be changed

– The four major tennis tournaments will continue to seed 32 players for men’s and women’s singles draws, after the Grand Slam Board (GSB) announced on Thursday it had reversed an earlier decision to halve the number.

Having indicated last year that the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open would only have 16 seeds from 2019, the organisation said the format would remain in place. –
