Week 46 - ITF M15 - Maputo, Mozambique (hard)


If two players or more are tied and happen to be on the entry cut off, how would they determine who is in or out? Toss a coin? Draw lots? Play a one off sudden death tiebreak?

Presumably there is some process?

Yes, but it is handled by the ITF whilst producing the acceptance list. Also National Rankings are also used to order players. This is what the ITF rulebook actually says.

"A random draw will be made when players are tied based on their ATP Singles Ranking or tied based on their ITF World Tennis Singles Ranking. On Acceptance Lists produced by the ITF, ties have already been randomly drawn by computer and players are listed in priority order."

 thanks the Addict - I forgot about national rankings although I am not entirely sure how the ITF allocates or assesses those - and is their a country merit list eg #568 in the USA is probably worth a higher rank that #568 in Mozambique. Or indeed than #56 or even #5 in Mozambique? Do they somehow put some sort of weighting into play?

I understand re the national rankings they give no priority to any nation's rankings or compare between nations ( really impossible to do so ). The national rankings purely order the players within each nation.

The lists are computer selected. But say there were 5 nationally ranked Brits and 3 French, GB has 5 balls in the bag and France 3. The first nationally ranked GB player on the list would be the best ranked Brit when a British ball is drawn. But that say could be before or after any number of French drawn and listed.
