Format edit

Teams were made up of three players. Each team match was made up of five individual matches and ended when either side has won three matches. The order of a team match was changed as follows: a doubles match, two singles matches, and if neither side had won three matches by this point, a maximum of two extra singles matches were played.[1] The new order avoids any players playing two matches in succession, and forces players who play two singles to compete in the second individual match.

3 Singles C Z
