Have you heard the new controversy about the French Open's seeding system?

If this tennis world were mine, I would seed the Top 5 men's players at the 2013 French Open like this:

#1 - Novak Djokovic

#2 - Rafael Nadal

#3 - Roger Federer

#4 - David Ferrer

#5 - Andy Murray

Novak has earned the honor of being #1 at EVERY event he enters, other than that, there are no other players who should be seeded ahead of Nadal. Rafa and Novak should be seeded as far away from each other as possible and should not be able to meet prior to the finals . . . even by chance.

The two of them have played the best on this surface over the last couple of years, they were the finalist in the 2012 Roland Garros tournament.

The other top players's clay court pedigree don't stack up to these two currently and should be ranked below Nadal and Djokovic.

All of the other player are aware of the superiority of these two players on a claycourt, whether they admit it to the press . . . or not.

I doubt Nadal will become no.4 again because he barely has an points to gain, as he is defending mostly. (Barcelona, Rome) Unless Ferrer helps him out by losing early on in each event. Anyways, I think it's unfair to the players in the top 5, but mostly David. Pulling Nadal up will push him down to 5 again, and even though Rafa lost the points from being injuried, all those long hard years on tour make me feel like he derserves the place. I hope they don't change the seedings, and leave them where they are at. But if they were to change them my list would go like this

1. Rafa Nadal (king of clay)

2. Roger Federer (come on, Djokovic hasn't even won a title in Paris, and he made the finals here 4 times I believe)

3. Novak Djokovic

4. David Ferrer (he does particularly well on clay)

5. Andy Murray (this guys hasn't even won a tournament on clay)

WTF ?! I'd call it unfair only if it is unfair for some lower ranked players, but still it is a bad bad idea.

Cause having a Nadal V Djoko/Fed match in the QF will give us something to watch before the final, and it's not like anybody's going to skip watching the final regardless of who the players are, so it would give us 2 matches with a sold out crowd (or whatever a full stadium is called), if they go by the normal seedings.

And @10ISGAWD "there are no other players that should be seeded above Nadal". That's like putting Roger on #1 on a permanent basis just because he is the greatest of all time. Listen man, Nadal doesn't deserve the No. 4 spot right now unless he earns it, a man called David Ferrer is daily busting his *** off for that, and taking that away from him just because some people want to watch a top player's final, should be the last thing tennis should stoop to.

i think its unfair yeah.

last time federer was seeded 1 for wimbledon and he lost in the quarterfinals.

you can't seed someone just based on the record of the tennis surface.

if a player is playing well, they will be playing well on any surface. that's usually how it is.

SEEDING IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE COMMITTEE EACH SURFACE & CLUB IS DIFFERENT///// MENTAL & PHSYICAL CONDITION OF THE PLAYERS HAS TO BE CONSIDERED ALSO TENNIS IS NOT A GENTLEMAN'S GAME & IT IS NOT ALWAYS FAIR!!!!!!!!!

It is a leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed and of the herbicide
