ITF Rulebook

"4. Walkovers

a) If a player or team receives a walkover in the 1st round, and there is no Alternate or Lucky Loser to take the place in the draw, or if a player or team receives a walkover in a subsequent round without having yet played a match, the player or team will receive ranking points from the round preceding her/their elimination."


Seems slightly odd to me, but I interpret that as meaning that if they lose in the semifnal they will get points for the quarterfinal not the semi.

 I'm sure we've had this before but I can't remember who it was. At the risk of being completely and utterly wrong, I think whoever it was got 1st round loser points. The basis being that in each round you progress by walkover without having played you only have 1st round loser points until you win a match, therefore the points they have in the preceding round will always be 1st round loser points no matter how many rounds they progress by wo without having played. They don't get the additional points for progressing a round by walkover unless they have played and won a match.

 I know this has come up before, and I'm sure that the conclusion was as you say. But the rulebook appears to say something different - or am I having a senior moment ?
