8 matches .. as from 9 teams only 1 will win , rest 8 teams must lose , in knockout tournament 1 team goes out in 1 match .
If you choose one person, then consider your options for a second, you have nine people for them to play against. Then, considering the second person, excluding the match already played with the first person, you have eight possible matches. Following this all the way, the number of unique matches are: 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45
