Ranking of second-placed teams

The best runner-up quarter-final spot is determined by the number of ties won and the number of ties played. In a tie between three teams, the team having played fewer total matches (singles and mixed doubles) will be eliminated and, if still tied then the team with the most match wins (singles and doubles). If still tied, then the ranking is determined by, in order: 1) the highest percentage of matches won, 2) the highest percentage of sets won, and 3) the highest percentage of games won.
