 * You're right. However I do not understand this line:
 * "on three-players-ties, percentage of sets won, or of games won initially to sort out a superior/inferior player, then head-to-head records;".
 * What does it actually mean and how/when is it applied? Schnapper (talk) 17:10, 8 November 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) If three players are tied, they are separated by %sets won; if all 3 are still tied, they are separated by %games won; if all 3 are still tied, they are separated by ATP ranking.
 * 2) However, if after applying %sets won, 1 player has a better record, and the other 2 still tied, then the player with the better record is ranked the highest, and the remaining 2 are separated by their head-to-head record. Same also applies if one player has a worse record, and 2 are tied.
 * 3) The above point also applies to %games, should %sets not give any separation.
 * Section IV 4.01 D 3) of the 2013 ATP rulebook gives some tie breaking examples to various scenarios.
