World Tennis League 2024 Format Explained
The World Tennis League adopts a round-robin format, where each team plays against every other team. Each tie consists of four sets:
- Men’s singles
- Women’s singles
- Two doubles matches (either men’s, women’s, or mixed, depending on a coin toss)
For each game won in a tie, a point is awarded. If the leading team is trailing after the four sets, the match enters overtime. A first-to-10 super shootout tiebreak is played if the match score becomes equal, with the winner earning one point plus two bonus points. After the round-robin phase, the top two teams move on to the final.
