who are due to play in an Association of Tennis Players (ATP) tournament for women.

This tournament has four knockout rounds before the final, i.e., first round, second

round, quarterfinals, and semi-finals. In the first round, the highest seeded player plays

the lowest seeded player (seed # 32) which is designated match No.1 of first round;

the 2nd seeded player plays the 31 st seeded player which is designated match No.2

of the first round, and so on. Thus, for instance, match No. 16 of first round is to beplayed between 16th seeded player and the 17th seeded player. In thesecond round,

the winner of match No.1 of first round plays the winner of match No. 16 of first

round and is designated match No.1 of second round. Similarly, the winner of match

No.2 of first round plays the winner of match No. 15 of first round, and is designated

match No.2 of second round. Thus, for instance, match No.8 of the second round is

The year is 2089. Beijing, London, New York, and Paris are in contention to host the

2096 Olympics. The eventual winner is dete rmined t hrough several rounds of vot ing by

members of the lac with each member representing a different city. All the four cities
