Barclays ATP World Tour Finals 2009

Hop, de situatie voor vandaag:

1. Murray beats Verdasco in 2 : Murray is qualified, Verdasco out,

the winner of Fed-JMDP is the second qualifier

(Fed being first if he wins, JMDP being second to Murray if he wins)

1a. Fed beats JMDP : Fed is 1st, Murray 2nd
1b. JMDP beats Fed : Murray is 1st, JMDP second

2. Murray beats Verdasco in 3 sets and wins 4 more games than Verdasco (for instance 6/4 4/6 6/2) : Murray is qualified, Verdasco out,

JMDP has to beat Fed in 2 sets to qualify and eliminate Federer (in that case, Murray is first of the group, JMDP is 2nd)

... or in 3 sets with 8 games difference, which is huge (for instance 6/1 6/7 6/2)

Fed is first of the group if he wins, or if he loses in 3 sets by no more than 6 games difference -for instance not worse than 6/3 6/7 6/2

3. Murray beats Verdasco in 3 sets but doesn't win more than 3 games more than Verdasco (for instance 6/3 3/6 6/3) :

Verdasco is out,

Murray is not completely qualified as he can still fear a victory by JMDP in 3 sets with a big game difference for JMDP (the worst case for Murray being a win by JMDP by 7 games difference, for instance 6/2 6/7 6/2)

JMDP has to win in 2 sets or 3 sets with a big game difference,

Federer has to win one set and ensure that he doesn't lose by not more than 7 games (for instance 6/2 6/7 6/2 would be enough for him ... even to finish number 1 of the group) ,

4. Verdasco beats Murray in 2 sets : Murray is out, Federer is qualified

JMDP has to beat Fed to qualify and eliminate Verdasco (and JMDP would be first in that case)

5. Verdasco beats Murray in 3 sets with at least two games difference (for instance 6/4 4/6 6/4) : Murray is out, Federer is qualified,

JMDP qualifies and eliminates Verdasco if he wins ... or if he loses in 3 sets but gets at least 2 more games than Federer, which is very hard (for instance 6/4 0/6 6/4 or 7/6 2/6 7/6)

Else Verdasco goes to SF with Federer

6. Verdasco beats Murray in 3 sets with only one game difference or not more games than Murray : Verdasco is out, Federer is qualified,

JMDP qualifies and eliminates Murray if he wins ... or if he loses in 3 sets but gets a lot more games than Federer, even more than 2

Else Murray is the second to Federer
