In most tennis tournaments, the players are seeded against each other, and the winner of each match continues to the next round, all the way to the final.

Variations of the Shaughnessy system also exist, such as in the promotion pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
