ITF revises Davis Cup dead rubber policy 02 Mar 2011 http://www.daviscup.com/en/news/articles/itf-revises-davis-cup-dead-rubber-poli\ cy.aspx http://goo.gl/wbNmo 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. 国际网球总会(ITF)今(2)日宣布，无关胜负点(dead rubber)的赛制修正将从本周台维斯盃 (DC)赛事开始实施。 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：若获胜国在第四点拿下胜利，且该点至少打了四盘，除非双方同意否则将不进 行第五点比赛。 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. 但如果获胜国已在周六三点全胜，或者第四点在三盘之内就拿下，则剩下单打还是要按照 原来制度(三盘两胜)进行。 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. 这项措施原本只适用於DC世界组决赛，但现在扩大到所有世界组与区域第一、二级赛事。 本周将有33场赛事进行。 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执行副主席、DC委员会主席Juan Margets说：「让DC对选手更友善，是ITF一直以来的 努力，也是为了让周日的观众有很好的经验。这项措施得到许多选手、队长与多个国家网 球协会的支持。」 --
