        So what’s the point of a ranking system then? I appreciate what she has achieved, but what about the younger tennis players that don’t have her finances that miss out because of her. Should be on current merit, not status

        She’ll throw a hissy, diva fuelled fit over that - she’ll expect to be seeded #1. Oh and woe betide @Wimbledon if they don’t put her on Centre Court for every game. Not that she’s stuck up her own arse or anything 😝

        Indeed! I had the pleasure to be a steward at Wimbledon on 5 occasions. I can tell you 99.9% of players are polite & personable. I’ll let you guess who was the only one who wasn’t 🤔

        @serenawilliams YEEESSSS! 23 #grandslam deserves a bit of respect. How many women in the modern era have been able to accomplish this? Well done #wimbledon2018 for respecting the greatest #tennis player in the modern era. She actually has a good reason for the absence.

        Being good and then CHOOSING to take time off should not allow you to push another woman, who worked hard and didn't CHOOSE to take time off, out of her spot.

        Don't agree with these kind of exceptions. Yes, @serenawilliams is without doubt more than likely the greatest of all time but in my opinion @Cibulkova has earned her slot and should be honoured for that.

        Its not a fair decision!!! What about Cibulkova....she earned her right to seeded, but due to them deciding to seed Serena, she misses out...how the hell can that be a fair decision?!?!

        This decision has nothing to do with equality across the board and everything to do with who she is.

        Just like the finished #Oscars which has invited every tom, dick and Harry to vote therby ridiculing the #Oscars the Wimbledon seems to follow suit. The most coveted event enslaving the "former" hierarchy. My kid is gonna spit.

        This is laughable. She couldn't serve properly in the French open, has been out for months and these idiots give her preference? So many young women aspire to be a pro, love the game and they are seeing this? Beyond shameful #Wimbledon
