The ratings are issued three times a year and are used by organizing committees to determine the seeds for ATP-sanctioned tournaments and the players that are to be admitted to the draw if there are more entries than positions (the process is called "seeding"). 4, record 1, English, - seed

En fonction de leur classement, les meilleurs joueurs d'un tournoi sont désignés «tête de série» (le mieux classé est tête de série 1, etc.). C'est une protection dans la mesure où les têtes de série ne se rencontrent pas avant les huitièmes ou les quarts de finale. Il y a 16 têtes de série dans un tableau de 128 joueurs. 4, record 1, French, - t%C3%AAte%20de%20s%C3%A9rie

Les termes ci-dessus sont sujets à la modification selon le nombre ordinal utilisé, p. ex.: première tête de série (= top seed(ed player) or number 1 seeded player), établi(e) 5e favori(te) = tête de série numéro cinq = seeded 5th, the 5th seed(ed player). Employés absolument, les termes «le favori» et «la favorite» ne peuvent signifier que «top-seed» ou «top-seeded player» en anglais.
