The ITF announced today that it has revised the dead rubber policy for all
Davis Cup ties starting with this weekend’s Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World
Group first round and 25 zone group ties on 4-6 March.
國際網球總會(ITF)今(2)日宣布，無關勝負點(dead rubber)的賽制修正將從本周台維斯盃
(DC)賽事開始實施。
The new policy states that if a tie is decided after the fourth rubber (ie
one nation has a winning 3-1 lead after the first match on Sunday) and the
fourth rubber lasts at least four sets, the fifth rubber will not be played
unless both teams agree otherwise.
修正如下：若獲勝國在第四點拿下勝利，且該點至少打了四盤，除非雙方同意否則將不進
行第五點比賽。
All five rubbers will still be played if one nation has a winning 3-0 lead
after Saturday, or the tie is decided after the fourth rubber and the fourth
rubber lasts only three sets. All dead rubbers will continue to be the best
of three tiebreak sets.
但如果獲勝國已在週六三點全勝，或者第四點在三盤之內就拿下，則剩下單打還是要按照
原來制度(三盤兩勝)進行。
The dead rubber policy previously applied to the Davis Cup Final only, but
has now been extended to include all ties in the World Group, Zone Group I
and Zone Group II. A total of 33 ties will be played this weekend.
這項措施原本只適用於DC世界組決賽，但現在擴大到所有世界組與區域第一、二級賽事。
本周將有33場賽事進行。
Juan Margets, ITF Executive Vice President and Chairman of the Davis Cup
Committee, said: “This is part of the ITF’s continued effort to make Davis
Cup more player friendly, while maintaining a good spectator experience on
the Sunday. The enhancement of the dead rubber policy came in response to
requests from players, captains and National Associations.”
ITF執行副主席、DC委員會主席Juan Margets說：「讓DC對選手更友善，是ITF一直以來的
努力，也是為了讓周日的觀眾有很好的經驗。這項措施得到許多選手、隊長與多個國家網
球協會的支持。」
