Tournament ranking (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seed

'tournament ranking' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for seed that I've seen before include "It can develop into a plant" , "Top tennis player" , "Court favourite" , "Pip; origin, beginning" , "Pip; tennis player" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the LA Times and the USA Today.
