Za one koje mrze da traze:
3) The final standings of each group shall be determined by the first of the following
methods that apply:
a) Greatest number of wins;
b) Greatest number of matches played;
c) Head-to-head results if only two players are tied,
d) If three players are tied, then:
i) If three players each have one win, a player having played less than all
three matches is automatically eliminated and the player advancing to
the single elimination competition is the winner of the match-up of the two
players tied with 1-2 records; or
ii) Highest percentage of sets won; or
iii) Highest percentage of games won.
iv) If (i), (ii) or (iii) produce one superior player (first place), or one inferior
player (third place), and the two remaining players are tied, the tie
between those two players shall be broken by head-to-head record.
Ovo boldovano je bitno. Dakle ako tri igracha imaju isti broj pobeda, onda se ne gleda medjusobni skor (ne pravi se mini tablica izmedju njih) nego:
1) prvo se gleda
ukupan broj osvojenih i izgubljenih setova
2) nakon toga ukupan odnos dobijenih/izgubljenih game-ova
ako bilo koji od 1) ili 2) da jednog igracha koji ima bolji ili losiji skor, onda se druga dvojica (ako su izjednacena po tom kriterijumu koji je razbio trougao) rangiraju prema tome ko je pobedio u njihovom mechu.
Znachi konkretno:
Federer izgubi od JMDP 2-1
Murray dobija Verdasca 2-0.
Federer, Murray i JMDP imaju 2-1 u mechevima.
U skladu sa tackom 1) Murray ima najbolji procenat osvojenih setova i na taj nachin "razbija" ovaj trougao kao najbolji u njemu, a drugoplasirani u tom trouglu je bolji u medjusobnom mechu JMDP - Federer, jer imaju isti omer osvojenih setova (u ovom sluchaju JMDP prolazi dalje).
