How it's used
This term is almost exclusively used in the context of professional sports like badminton, table tennis, or tennis. It functions as a concise label for the event category rather than a description of an individual player. When discussing the person competing, it is more natural to refer to them as a player rather than using this term as a noun for the athlete.
