For the most part, seeds in tennis are determined by the players' rankings as of the week the event's officials create the draw sheet for the event, which is usually written a week or two in advance of the event. However, some events reserve the right to modify the seedings, in order to place lower-ranked players in the place of a higher-ranked player, usually to make the draw more interesting to the spectators and sponsors, or to support a local player. This is true for amateur, college, and professional events.

All professional tennis events use the same basic draw sheet, which places the #1 seed at the very top, and the #2 seed at the very bottom, in order to give the two a chance to meet in the finals. The #3 seed is usually placed in the top half of the #2 seed's draw, so that they will meet in the semi-finals, while the #4 seed is usually placed in the bottom half of the #1 seed's draw, so that they will meet in the semi-finals. Of course, this rarely works out as planned, since seeds may be defeated by lower-seeded/ranked players.
