Tennis tournament: two teams

You are organising a tennis tournament, albeit one in a strange format.

The TV rights holders hand you a list of singles matches (1v1) they want to see. To add drama, they also insist on a team element: every player is put on either Team A or Team B, and a player must never face someone from their own team.

Given the list of matchups, assign every player to a team.

matches = [["Alice", "Bob"], ["Charlie", "Alice"], ["David", "Bob"]]

One valid answer:

Alice   -> A
Bob     -> B
David   -> A
Charlie -> B
