Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai 2006

[_Tampie]

Als Federer-Ljubicic en Nalbandian-Roddick beiden in een overwinning van 2-1 in sets eindigen, komen er 3 spelers op 20 punten met een setsaldo van 4-5. Weet iemand hoe de regels dan in elkaar steken? Worden de resultaten tegen Federer geschrapt of kijkt men naar het games-saldo ?

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 (2) players are tied, or if three (3) players are tied, then:
i) If three (3) players each have one win, a player having played less than all three (3) matches is automatically eliminated and the player advancing to the Single Elimination competition is the winner of the match-up of the two (2) 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.
4) If ties still exist after the above procedures, the Steering Committee shall make the final determination.

Ze kijken dus niet naar het games-saldo maar naar het games percentage dat ze hebben gewonnen. Kleine nuancering, maar mogelijk met grote gevolgen.
