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 sentences:

own experience or research:
Sijoitetut pelaajat määräytyvät pääosin ATP World Rankingin mukaan. Pelaajien sijoittamisen ajatuksena on, että esimerkiksi neljä parasta pelaajaa kohtaavat toisensa vasta välierissä ja ykkös- ja kakkossijoitetut pelaajat vasta loppuottelussa.
Example sentences:
Mikäli sijoitettu pelaaja jää pois kilpailusta ennen kuin ko. sarjan ensimmäinen ottelu on pelattu, korvataan hänet seuraavaksi parhaalla sijoitetulla. (Koululaistenniksen säännöt, Tennislii)
Suomen tennisykkönen Jarkko Nieminen on sijoitettu kaksinpelissä ensimmäiseksi maanantaina alkavassa haastajakiertueen kisassa Koldingissa Tanskassa. (Ilta-Sanomat)
