How are tennis draws determined and why aren't the 32 seeds evenly spaced out over the brackets?
For instance, if all the seeds win their matches, you can see a (5) vs. (7) instead of a (2) vs. (7) etc.

On Wii Tennis - how do you hit the ball to the left or right?
The seed placement system is determined by a formula based on where the number 3 seed goes. Let's say that the #3 seed goes into the bottom half of the draw like in this years US Open. Then the four seed goes to the top half along with the 5th seed which is placed in the same quadrant as the #1 seed to meet in the Quarterfinals. As a result then the #6th seed is placed in the same quadrant as the #2 seed to meet in the Quarterfinals. it is done this way so the #2 seed does not have an unfair draw by having to always face higher seeds than the #1 seed. Because if they didn't do it this way, then the #2 seed would have both the #3 and #5 seeds on his half of the draw while the #1 seed would have the #4 and #6...this was determined as unfair by the players union committee. So both 4th and 5th seeds are on opposite sides of the draw from the 3rd and 6th seeds. If you think about it, it does make sense from a players standpoint.http://www.usopen.org/en_us/scores/draws...
Discrimination in tennis today. A FACT!?
Seeds are determined by their rankings and put in their place then the others no matter what their rankings are drawn out of a hat so to speak and placed next to their place drawn out. They only place the top 16 seeds. In a perfect draw all the seeds would win but other factors effect their play. Such as injuries, mental lapses etc.Good Question, I don´t know. But at least it is sure that the top 4 are planned to play the semifinals, 1-4 and 2-3.
