ATP Cup, Australia

Maximum 750 for singles and 250 for doubles. It all depends on the opponent's ranking, if it's higher that win is worth more points. This rule does not apply to doubles if I uderstood correct. It's a bit complicated scoring system IMO.

This means if Novak does well and Rafa doesn't, Novak could be #1 at AO..is that correct or not

It seems not. Live tennis rankings has Rafa at 9985 points, Djoker at 9055, with his max possible points for this tournament at 9830.

It does seem complicated and I feel I want to complain about the ATP website and the site for the ATP cup that they don't explain it, at all. Also, on the ATP site, although they have the schedules posted for the first several days, as they are known, they don't list the actual rankings of the players, which seems rather an oversight, since they know this, and the ranking of the player has a bearing on the points gained, per win. So far, if you ask me, they haven't made it fan-friendly, in terms of what goes on.

Yes, I feared that it would only be Tennis TV. At least TC has it here in the US.

Yep, now Tsitsipas and Shapo are playing...

I saw on Twitter that Safin is An assistant with team Russian..Silent KK should take notes from the greatest Russia tennis player ever, IMO

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Shapo takes the 1st set 76(6) over Tsitsipas both had set points,Shapo first serve was the decider,good contest so far.

I really have become a Shapo fan,not when he plays Rafa of course

I have a hard time wrapping my arms around him because his game is so messy and undisciplined. It's fun, though.

I think it is more controlled now,great serve and the fhand is first class when it clicks
Shapo d Tsistipas 76 (6) 76 (4) some great ball striking by both players.Fun Match

The best part is I am watching this on my time zone in the afternoon,not having to get up at Midnight or 1am in the morning.

Shapo is too impatient playing, he doesn’t think twice and that’s why he make many errors but he hits the ball hard and has good serve
