French Open organizers base seedings strictly on the most recent world rankings so there were no surprises on the list. But several top women are ailing.
Hingis withdrew from last week's Italian Open with a foot injury, and No. 2 Lindsay Davenport is having her lower back treated.
No. 8 Serena Williams hasn't played for more than a month because of an injured left knee. Sister Venus, seeded No. 4, will seek her first Grand Slam title in Paris but has played only one tournament this year because of tendinitis in her wrists.
No. 12 Anke Huber and No. 15 Anna Kournikova have withdrawn from tournaments in the last two weeks.
In the men's event, the 12-month ranking means that Pete Sampras, still searching his first tournament win at Roland Garros, is seeded No. 2.
Magnus Norman, leader in the ATP Champions Race, is seeded No. 3 and 1996 French Open winner Yevgeny Kafelnikov is No. 4.
