Why is the term "seed" used instead of "rank" in tennis?
I see. Is there any difference between being seeded and being ranked in tennis?
Yes, there is a difference. A player's rank in tennis reflects their overall standing in the sport, based on their performance in the most recent tournaments they have played. Seedings, on the other hand, are assigned by tournament organizers specifically to determine their placement in the draw, and are often calculated based on a combination of the player's ranking and past tournament results.
