In what is becoming an annual occurrence, Novak Djokovic will be the top seed when the 2016 French Open begins.
The French Open gets underway Sunday, May 22, from Roland Garros in Paris and culminates with the final on Sunday, June 5.
It’s the fifth time in six years Djokovic has garnered the No. 1 seed for tennis’ second major of the season. Djokovic, though, has yet to win a title at Roland Garros.
Andy Murray, 2015 champion Stan Wawrinka, 9-time winner Rafael Nadal and Kei Nishikori round out the top 5 men’s seeds.
2009 champion Roger Federer withdrew Thursday, saying he isn’t complete healthy.
Djokovic and Nadal were drawn together in the top half, while Wawrinka is in Murray’s bottom draw.
The French Open seedings are based on the most recent ATP rankings.
