A player's tiebreak score is calculated by adding the sum of the player's points they have defeated to half the sum of the player's points they have drawn against.

To explain it simple, if you beat someone who has 10 wins, you get 10 tie score.

 

If you draw against someone who has 10 wins, you get 5 tie score.
