What is a first seed in tennis?
In tennis, the term “first seed” refers to the player who is ranked as the number one seed in a particular tournament or competition. The seeding process involves ranking the players based on their performance in previous tournaments and their overall rankings in the sport. The first seed is usually the player with the highest ranking and is given the top position in the tournament draw. This means they are scheduled to play against the lowest-ranked player in the draw in the opening round, and their path to the final should be relatively easier compared to other players in the draw.
