Warning: the English term "favorite", as in the phrase "The Women's favorite at the French Open this year is Mary Pierce" is, unfortunately, not seen in the press in North America as often as the more ambiguous term "top-seed(ed player)". "Top-seed" can have two distinct meanings: 1) the one player expected to win the tournament 2) a top-level player ranked high who has good chances of making it through several rounds. On the other hand, the term "top-ranked player" is at times carelessly used as a synonym for "top-seeded player" or "top seed". One is "seeded" at the tournament level (Wimbledon, the Canadian Nationals, etc.), but is "ranked" (No. 1, 2, 3, etc.) either at the respective national or international (ATP or WTA) levels, especially if there is no mention of a tournament. No. 1 seed (or ... seeded No. 1) = top seed = top-seeded player. Compare with No. 1 player (in the world, according to the computer rankings). Also, be cautious of the French cognate "favori(te)", which carries a more subjective connotation, i.e. the sweetheart of the audience. See also "top-seeded" (adjective), "darling" (= "favorite").  1, record 6, English, - top%2Dseeded%20player
