English

Subject field(s)
  • Sports (General)
DEF

A stage in any elimination tournament in which all the competitors are previously paired and each pair plays a game after which only the winners advance to the next stage, the losers being eliminated from the tournament.

CONT

Top-seeded André Agassi, also seeking to complete a career Grand Slam with his first French title, powered into the third round with a 7-5, 6-1, 6-0 win over Todd Woodbridge [of Australia].

OBS

The term is common to all racquet sports. In tennis, for example, the Grand Chelem tournaments-Australian, French, Wimbledon and U. S. Opens-having draws of 128 players, 7 rounds are being played with respectively 128, 64, 32, 16, 8(quarterfinals), 4(semifinals), and 2(final) players in each, since the departure of losers cuts the field in half at each round.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports (Généralités)
DEF

Chacun des stades d'un tournoi d'élimination au cours duquel les compétiteurs, jumelés au préalable par tirage au sort, disputent un match à l'issue duquel seuls les vainqueurs avancent au stade suivant, les perdants étant sortis du tournoi.

CONT

Les points accordés aux joueurs sont fonction de la ronde qu'ils atteignent à chacune des quatre compétitions.

OBS

Les termes s'utilisent pour tous les sports de raquette. Au tennis, par exemple, dans les tournois du Grand Chelem - l'Omnium d'Australie, l'Omnium de France, le Tournoi de Wimbledon et l'Omnium des États Unis - le tableau se compose de 128 joueurs; 7 rondes sont donc nécessaires pour que le nombre d'inscrits passe de 128 à 64, à 32, à 16, à 8 (quarts de finale), à 4 (demi-finales) et enfin à 2 (finale), le départ des perdants réduisant de moitié les noms des inscrits à chaque tour.

CONT

[...] es lógico pensar que tanto en París como en muchos otros torneos [la nueva generación de jugadores españoles] superarán rondas y llegarán a finales.

OBS

El término se encuentra también para el raquetbol.
