What is 'seeding' in tennis?
In tennis tournaments, players are 'seeded' based on their world ranking, meaning the top players are deliberately spread out in the draw. This ensures they don't meet in the early rounds, making for more exciting matches later on. De Minaur was the third seed, so Norrie's win was a significant upset.
