The top two players/teams in each group will progress to the semi-finals, with the winners of the groups facing the runner-up from the other group.
If two players/teams are tied for the same number of wins in the group then the final standings will be decided by (in descending order): most matches played (i.e. a 2-1 win-loss record beats a 2-0 win-loss record), head-to-head results, highest percentage of sets won, highest percentage of games won, highest ranking position at end of the regular season.
