JonH · All-time great

Wow! What a win!

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Fantastic. Unfortunately I got distracted and missed the end. But can look forward to his next match, whoever that is against ?

JonH · All-time great

I think he is equal on points with Djoko now, does that mean he is above or below him ? How do they break ties?

JonH · All-time great

plays Shapovalov or Raonic next

Shapovolov or Raonic next, and they're next match on the same court. Onward & upward!

Hoping that was as straight forward as the score suggests. Been following on live scores. Does one more win get Kyle close to the top 16 ? I am thinking about weddings at RG.

Sitting in an airport and working from an iPhone makes it difficult to do the research.

Below. According to Stuart Fraser on Twitter the first tie break is total points scored from slams and Masters. He has added that that if Kyle wins two more matches and reaches the final, he could be WR 11 next Monday.

Weddings or seedings??!

Live rankings shows him staying behind Novak currently although equal on points,and one more win will take him top 16 in the live standings. And Raonic or Shapovalov (memories there) will be a tough but winnable match...

Yep one more win puts him provisionally 16th

Something you're not telling us Bob ?

From the ATP Rulebook:

Ties. When two or more players have the same total number of points, ties shall be
broken as follows:
1) the most total points from the Grand Slams, ATP World Tour Masters 1000 mandatory
tournaments and Nitto ATP Finals main draws, and if still tied, then,
2) the fewest events played, counting all missed Grand Slams, ATP World Tour Masters
1000 tournaments they could have played (as described under A. above) as
if played, and if still tied, then,
3) the highest number of points from one single tournament, then, if needed, the
second highest, and so on.

Yes. The fact that I hate the auto correct feature on the iPhone. First time it changed it to seedlings. Corrected that one but it still got the better of me.

Kyle just took it to the bank and it cleared

Thanks. Of course Federers absence gives a bit of margin as well.
