SEMI-FINAL QUALIFYING PROCEDURE
The final standings of each group is determined by the first of the following methods that apply:
a) Greatest number of wins;
b) Greatest number of matches played;
Comment: 2-1 won-loss record beats a 2-0 won-loss record; a 1-2 record beats a 1-0 record.
c) Head-to-head results if only two (2) players are tied,
d) If three (3) players are tied,
If three (3) players each have one (1) 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
Highest percentage of sets won; or
Highest percentage of games won; or
The player positions on the PIF ATP Rankings as of the Monday after the last ATP Tour tournament of the calendar year.
If (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) produce one (1) superior player (first place), or one (1) inferior player (third place), and the two (2) remaining players are tied, the tie between those two (2) players shall be broken by head-to-head record.
Comment 1: 1 player has 3 wins and the other 3 players have 1 win. Of the 3 players with 1 win, 1 player has only played in 2 matches while the other 2 players have played 3 matches. The player who has only played 2 matches is eliminated and then the 2 remaining players revert back to head-to-head results with the winner of their match advancing to the semi-finals.
Comment 2: 1 player has 3 wins and the other 3 players have 1 win and they all have played 3 matches.
The tie-break for % of sets won has 1 player with a better % than the other two. This player advances to the semi-final round.
Comment 3: 3 players have 2 wins and the other player has 0 wins. The player with 0 wins is eliminated. Of the 3 players with 2 wins, they are ordered by their % of sets won. This produces a 1, 2 & 3 order and the players finishing 1 and 2 move to the semi-final round and the player finishing 3 in % of sets won is eliminated. The player with the best % of sets won is the winner of the group.
Comment 4: 3 players have 2 wins and the other player has 0 wins. The player with 0 wins is eliminated. Of the 3 players with 2 wins, 1 player’s sets won-loss is 5-2 for 71.43%; the other 2 players both have a 4-3 record in sets for 57.14%. In this case there is 1 superior player (71.43%) and the remaining 2 players are tied; it now reverts to the head to head result of the 2 remaining players with the winning player advancing as group runner-up.
Comment 5: 3 players have 2 wins and the other player has 0 wins. The player with 0 wins is eliminated. Of the 3 players with 2 wins, 2 have set won-loss records of 5-3 (62.5%) while the other player is 4-3 (57.14%). In this case we have 1 inferior player (57.14%) and he is eliminated. The remaining two players both advance to the semi-finals with the winner of their head-to-head match advancing as the group winner.
Tuossa on tuo Rublevin mahdollisuus. Zverev voittaa 2-0, niin sitten Alcarazilla ja Ruudilla on 1 voitto. Voittamalla Ruud 2-0, näillä kaikilla on yksi voitto ja sitten ratkotaan erien voittoprosentin mukaan. Tässä oletuksessa Alcaraz olis 2-4 ja voittamalla Ruud 2-0, myös Ruud ja Rublev olis 2-4.
Nyt joudutaan jo menemään pelien voittoprosentteihin. Alcaraz otti aika pahasti Ruudilta turpaan, joten hän on lähtökohtaisesti heikoimmilla. Rublev toivoo Zverevin ylivoimaista voittoa (niin toivoo varmasti myös Ruud).
Mahdollista, mutta aika pienellä todennäköisyydellä Rublevilla on tässä panosta.
Tietenkin mieltä myös lämmitti livestä napattu Washingtonin -1, mutta harmittamaan jäi livestä napattu -3.5 joka olisi tullut kaappiin JOS lisäpiste olisi potkaistu ja JOS se olisi mennyt tolppien väliin. 
Vaikka eipä nuo koskaan taida valmiita ollakaan. Mutta katsotaan nyt kuinka aika riittää tuon kirjoitteluun. Pythonilla se olis kuitenkin tarkoitus parsia kasaan ja aika näyttää kuinka kauan siinä kestää ja mihin saakka sillä päästään. Pelien seuraamista ei ole tarkoitus lopettaa, koska eipä pelaajaprofiileita saa rakennettua muuta kuin pelejä katsomalla.
