English term or phrase: seed
Definition from Do It Tennis:
Before a tournament, certain players are ranked, based on their ability and recent performances. The process is called seeding, the rankings are called seeds, and the top-ranked player is called the top seed. Matches are then arranged so that the top-seeded players will not meet until the later rounds of the tournament.

Example sentence(s):
  • The top four seeds advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Men's and Women's Tennis Championships as the men took center stage on Friday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center on the campus of The University of Tulsa. tulsahurricane.cstv.com
  • Top seed Marat Safin refused to blame a draining agenda for his surprise first round exit from the Olympic tennis tournament today. HighBeam™ Research, Inc
  • There was only one seed for the Central Coast Section girls' team tennis tournament that nobody wanted -- No. 8. Anyone getting that number meant only one thing, an early exit from the tournament in the second round. Palo Alto Online
