Both Chris Evert Lloyd and Martina Navratilova were seeded #1, reflecting Evert Lloyd's status as the #1 ranked player and Navratilova's as the 3-time defending champion, with no seed #2 awarded. This unique decision was heavily criticised by the Women's Tennis Association. As Evert Lloyd was placed at the top of the draw sheet, she was in effect the de facto #1.[2]

gollark: Just go to a slime island or press honey or whatever though.
gollark: We do also have Forestry and the Forestry genetic engineering mod.
gollark: I agree. The pack developers explicitly let it make a few more things than usual.
gollark: I may actually make an arbitrarily good power source cuboid™ and IC² replicator setup. It lets you make a lot of things.
gollark: Somewhat.
