Serbia (A), Great Britain (C), Russia (D) and Australia (F) have already qualified for the quarter-finals to be held on Thursday and Friday at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney. Nine nations remain in contention for the four vacancies, with Groups B and E to be decided on Wednesday. • The winner of Group B will be determined in Perth when Spain (2-0) meets Japan (2-0). Team Japan’s No. 1 singles player, World No. 72 Yoshihito Nishioka, is ranked lower than all five players on the Spanish roster. He seeks the biggest win of his career against World No. 1 Rafael Nadal. Nishioka dropped just six games against Nikoloz Basilashvili and Pablo Cuevas earlier this week, while Nadal lost 11 games to the same opponents. • Croatia (2-0), Austria (1-1) and Argentina (1-1) are in contention to win Group E in Sydney. Croatia will claim the group by beating Argentina. If Argentina defeats Croatia and Poland defeats Austria, the Argentines will win the group. If Argentina and Austria win, there will be a three-way tie of 2-1 teams and the Group E winner will be… o Croatia if Argentina d. Croatia 2-1 o Austria if Argentina d. Croatia 3-0 and Austria d. Poland 3-0 o Team with highest percentage of sets won if Argentina d. Croatia 3-0 and Austria d. Poland 2-1 • The six group winners automatically qualify for the quarter-finals, leaving two places for teams that finish second in their groups. Belgium (2-1) and Canada (2-1) occupy those spots for now after ending group play on Tuesday. However, six teams competing on Wednesday remain in contention for the No. 7 and No. 8 places. Tiebreakers are as follows: (1) ties won, (2) ties played, (3) matches won, (4) matches played and (5) sets-won percentage.

    2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field

    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York.

Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
