Round-robin tie-break rules
Group standings are decided by the first of these that applies, according to Chapter 4 of the ATP Rulebook:
- Wins: greatest number of wins.
- Matches played: greatest number of matches played, so a 2-1 record beats 2-0, and 1-2 beats 1-0.
- Head-to-head: used if only two players are tied.
- Three-way ties: highest percentage of sets won, then highest percentage of games won, then ATP ranking at the end of the season.
If a three-way tie leaves one clear best or worst player, the remaining two are separated by head-to-head.
