Question

so, with del potro out, they're tied in the number 1 spot of the us open series standings.-

now, will both of them get their paychecks duplicated??

Answer 1

No, there is a tiebreak procedure.

Tie-Break Procedure:

In the event of a 2-way tie (for either first place and second place, or second place and third place, or third place and fourth place), then a-e below shall be applied, in order, until the tie is broken:

a. Head-to-head record in Olympus US Open Series matches (in the current year)

b. Greatest number of Olympus US Open Series matches won (in the current year)

c. Greatest number of Olympus US Open Series sets won (in the current year)

d. Greatest number of Olympus US Open Series games won (in the current year)

e. If a tie still exists after applying the above, the tie shall be broken by a coin toss

Since Nadal beat Murray in Toronto, I believe Nadal will win the tiebreak and finish number one in the US Open Series standings.

EDIT: Del Potro withdrew due to exhaustion. I can't blame him; he's won four tournaments in a row and that's a lot of matches.

Answer 2

What? WHat r u talkin bout? He withdrew?

Edit: That stinks! I was going to see him play tomorrow!!! I was looking so forward to it. Oh well, I still get to see Isner play Karlovic!
