Does the number 1 seed play the number 3 seed in the semifinals or the number 4 seed?
All professional tennis events use the same basic draw sheet, which places the #1 seed at the very top, and the #2 seed at the very bottom, in order to give the two a chance to meet in the finals. The #3 seed is usually placed in the top half of the #2 seed's draw, so that they will meet in the semi-finals, while the #4 seed is usually placed in the bottom half of the #1 seed's draw, so that they will meet in the semi-finals. Of course, this rarely works out as planned, since seeds may be defeated by lower-seeded/ranked players.

Do you use 's after a name ending in s such as Chris?
Either Chris' or Chris's may be used. Style manuals do not agree on this point. Some say use only the apostrophe while others say apostrophe + s. For example, the US Government Printing Office Style Manual requires the added 's', so a government document would have Chris's. I believe the AP Stylebook says to use only an apostrophe, so a newspaper article would have Chris'.

Refreshments were served by the ladies ladies' ladie's husbands?
The correct form is "Refreshments were served by the ladies' husbands." The word is both a plural (there wasmore than one lady) and a possessive (the husbands belonged to them). The word lady is made plural byadding ans at the end, except you change the y to ie. Thus, one lady, two ladies. One baby, two babies. One gravy, two gravies. And so on. The possessive is shown by the apostrophe after the end of the word. It used to be "the ladieses husbands" but we don't say that last bit any more, so there is an apostrophe showing that it is left out.
