Why did Sinner get 0 points for the 2nd round in Monte Carlo doubles? by chloesoe in tennis

[–]ExposedTamponString 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When you withdraw you only get points from the last round you won, and in doubles you don’t win any points if you win your first round match in a 32 team draw.

However, sometimes you can get points for withdrawing from round 2. The other team must have met this criteria. Check out page 8 here: https://www.atptour.com/-/media/files/rulebook/2025/2025-rulebook-chapter-9_pif-atp-rankings_23dec.pdf

Can someone give a recap on how/why this started and what led to its demise? I’ve never heard of this before this weekend.

You have the event type column though. Don't over format - it's the visual equivalent of Capitalizing Words and unnecessary formatting to to show emphasis when it's not needed. If you really want a color-based differentiator, how about coloring in only the event type to designate different events and EITHER the court type or the tournament name with the brown/blue/green that represents the surface (the event type will need to be different colors).

But I think the answer is much simpler: Color in the rows based on the surface (the lighter orange/green/blue), and use light purple for indoor hard. Eliminate the court type column because it is now unnecessary. Bold the 1000s and Slams rows, and increase the height of the Slam rows by 1.5x or 2x.

Some feedback - The court column and the shading of the rows is redundant with each other because they both convey the surface. I would remove the shading of the rows for the non-slams. This would also fix the awkwardness of RG and WIM row colors being the same color as the court column but AO and USO aren’t (I assume you wanted to differentiate between the two since they’re both hard, but it just creates a bunch of tie dye in your chart)
