If you are wondering why there is a no.33 seed in the Men's, it's because Borna Coric withdrew after the draw had been made (the injury he picked up defending his Halle title was clearly a bad one), but obviously before play started given that the tournament is still over 36 hours away. What tournaments tend do in that position is, rather than putting a lucky loser in the seeded slot which will rather blow up a section of the draw, to up the highest ranked non-seed to a seeding and put them into the vacant spot. However, rather than re-numbering all the seeds from the withdraw player on down, that players seeding is simply scraped (if you look closely you won't find a #14 in the Men's draw). That is because if they did redo the seedings, then depending on where the numbers were rjigged from the new 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 would be in the wrong places. It's therefore easier just to call Jan-Lennard Struff no.33 and proceed with that. The Lucky Loser goes into the spot that Struff was moved from.
