Ranking system:

Number of matches won Match points Sets ratio Points ratio If the tie continues as per the point ratio between two teams, the priority will be given to the team which won the last match between them. When the tie in points ratio is between three or more teams, a new classification of these teams in the terms of points 1, 2 and 3 will be made taking into consideration only the matches in which they were opposed to each other.

Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser

Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser

While the United States is technically the leader in Group F1 on tie-breakers (their two victories have been 3-0, whereas France’s have been 3-1), a pair of hot streaks will be put to the test on Sunday. That’s when still-unbeaten France will face off against the suddenly-surging Americans (who started 0-3, but have been dominant in their two matches so far in round 2), in front of a pro-French crowd in Pau.

The table stayed relatively stable, especially at the top, after Saturday’s action, including an identical top 4 of France, Brazil, Serbia, and Belgium as what started the day.

The biggest movers of the day are North American counterparts Canada and the United States, who jumped to 5th and 6th place in the table after beating Bulgaria and Russia, respectively.
