AKA the last time we care about tennis until the Aussie Open

The opening matches yesterday saw Anderson beat Theim & Kei beat Fed.....both in straight sets

 

[Hs0022]

If Fed keeps playing like this then forget slams, he won’t be able to win anything and get to 100

 

[Hs0022]

His form was pathetic. Almost like he didn’t care.

[nuraman00]

Wow, that was easy.

 

[tducey]

Always a fun tourney, cool to see a round robin format in tennis.

 

[nuraman00]

Isner! You've lost every match. Stop it.

Now you won't get to the SFs.

Federer - Anderson starts now, I suppose easy win for Roger, what you think?

 

[Hs0022]

Fed beats Andoo in straight sets!! Woohoo now for Zverev semis

 

[Hs0022]

Ok so what happens if Cilic beats Nole? ( not that it’s gonna happen)

Then Djokovic won two ( bt Zverev and Isner)

Zverev wins two ( bt Cilic and Isner )

And Cilic wins two ( bt Djokovic and Isner )

Zverev wins two ( bt Cilic and Isner )

And Cilic wins two ( bt Djokovic and Isner )

They go by percentage of sets won, then percentage of games won.

 

[Hs0022]

They go by percentage of sets won, then percentage of games won.

Then why are they already saying that Nole is group champion and Zverev is group runner up before the last round robin match?

If Djokovic loses in straight sets to Cilic, then Djokovic and Zverev will have the same number of sets lost.

Zverev has lost 33 games.

Djokovic has lost 12.

Even if Djokovic loses 6-0, 6-0 to Cilic, he will still have lost 24 games.

 

[nuraman00]

Cilic has lost 28 games. But he also lost a set in one of his wins, meaning that his % of sets is worse than Djokovic and Zverev.
