English term or phrase: live singles
This means that ranking points will be awarded for the first time ever for all *live singles* and doubles rubbers played in the Davis Cup World Group and World Group Play-Off Round from 2009.

The live is what baffles me. TIA

Explanation:
Davis Cup matches consist of 2 singles, 1 doubles and 2 singles rubbers. The first team to win 3 points wins the match. After one team has 3 points, the rest of the matches are played out, but are no longer "live" in the sense that they no longer affect the match.

Explanation:
No creo que haya un término oficial, y si bien coincido plenamente con la interpretación de Daniel acuño otro término. Creo que "en vivo" se confunde demasiado con la expresión usada cuando se difunden en tiempo real por TV.
Dentro de un match de Copa Davis entre dos paises (con equipos de 4 o 5 jugadores), son los rubbers (partidos) que valen para ganar el match. Un pais puede ponerse 3-0 arriba con lo cual los indiduales que restan jugarse en el tercer y ultimo dia del match dejan de ser "live" porque ya esta decidido el pais ganador aunque se juegen estos partidos y termine 5-0, 4-1 o 3-2.
No se como se les dice a estos partidos "live" pero podria ser validos, puntables o decisivos, si bien tambien son puntables esos restantes partidos "muertos" que queden despues de un score de 3-0.
