Scenarios
There are only a few seeds which actually matter. The seeds going into the draw are put into groups: 1, 2, 3-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-24, 25-32.

The first three seeds are locked in place, so the only distinctions that still are up for grabs and actually matter are 4/5, 8/9, 12/13, 16/17, 24/25, 32/unseeded.

The 4/5 seed battle
This one was made simple with Wawrinka's loss to Anderson today. If Nishikori reaches the final in Halle, he will be the No. 4 seed, and if not, Wawrinka will be the No. 4 seed. Berdych and Raonic both would need to win the title at their respective tournaments to enter the conversation. Nishikori's path to the final shouldn't be too challenging. He will play Janowicz in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, he could meet the winner of Monfils and Seppi. Nishikori would be the favorite against either of them.

The 8/9 seed battle
Ferrer has clinched the No. 8 seed.

The 12/13 seed battle
In reality the distinction between these two seeds hardly matters, but there is a slight distinction. As of now, Tsonga has the No. 12 seed, while Nadal and Dimitrov have both clinched a top 12 seed. Tsonga could lose his No. 12 seed to a number of players. Simon would need to reach the final in London to catch up to Tsonga. Anderson, Isner and Monfils each need to win a title to surpass Tsonga.

The 16/17 seed battle
This battle got a lot more simple today. Anderson and Monfils have now clinched a spot in the top 16. If Isner reaches the final in London, he will take a top-16 seed from Lopez.

The 24/25 seed battle
This is another distinction that isn't too important, but the scenarios are simple. Garcia-Lopez needs to reach the final to have a chance at stealing the No. 24 seed from Troicki or Karlovic. Each of them can protect themselves from that threat with just one more win. If Garcia-Lopez wins the title, either Karlovic or Troicki are likely in trouble. Also, it is mathematically possible for Seppi to swipe the No. 24 seed. He would need to reach the final of Halle to enter the mix.

The 32/unseeded battle
This race is completely different from the other ones in that the special Wimbledon formula is no longer relevant. This is based strictly on ATP rankings. The ones that can possibly lose their seed are Kohlschreiber, Garcia-Lopez, and Sock. The challengers are Seppi, Muller, and Janowicz. Seppi only needs to reach the final of Halle, while the other two need to win the title.

A lot would have to go wrong for Sock to lose his seed. Garcia-Lopez would have to beat Anderson. Then Muller would have to win the title in London. On top of that, Seppi would have to reach the final in Halle or Janowicz win the title in Halle.

As of now, if there were a withdrawal from a seed, Mannarino would fill the spot of the No. 33 seed.
