As stated by me in this thread about two hours ago

Konta must trump Cibulkova on a tiebreak then, whatever that is, because if Cibulkova gets to the semis they would be tied on the same number of points. Anyone any ideas?
EDIT - found it in the rules:
Quote:
“When two (2) or more players have the same number of ranking
points, the tie for the ranking position will be decided according to
the following priorities:
i. The player with the most combined total points from Grand
Slams, Premier Mandatory Tournaments, Premier 5
Tournaments and the Premier WTA Championships;
ii. The player with the most total points from all WTA
Tournaments, including the Premier WTA Championships;
iii. The player with the fewest number of Tournaments in a 52-
week period (including any Mandatory Tournaments, if the
player qualified for acceptance); and
iv. The highest number of points from one (1) single Tournament,
then if needed, the second highest and so on.”

Will probably all be academic anyway, she will either make the final this week or get enough points next week in Moscow to overtake Konta.
