Please post your predictions in the following format:

Losing in QF: Del Potro, Berdych, Tsonga, Ferrer
Losing in SF: Nadal, Murray
Runner-up: Djokovic
Winner: Federer

Deadline: 4pm Wednesday

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but Roger isn't playing

Or were using that as an example?


Murray to win

Think first main draw matches start on Wednesday at 11am TSJ?
http://www.sonyopentennis.com/Schedules/Match-Schedule.aspx

So deadline of 4pm on Wednesday then?

@banbro, it's just an example that I nicked from another page because I'm lazy

Thanks lydian. I wasn't entirely sure when it started. 4pm it is then.

As per the seeding

Losing in QF: Del Potro, Gasquet, Tsonga, Tipsarevic
Losing in SF: Ferrer, Berdych
Runner-up: Murray
Winner: Djokovic

I hate it when tournaments are back to back like this. Makes it so hard to predict.

E.g. Del Potro is clearly in great form and could easily reach the final again, or win the title. Equally, he could run out of steam and lose in the early rounds!

And if Murray is going to be spraying shots all over the place like he was against DP (admittedly a lot of that due to DP's power) then he could lose his opening match against Tomic, if Tomic is on form. Equally, I could see Murray winning the tournament. Aaaaagh.

I get the feeling my ATP Fantasy is going to be a disaster!

I'll take a bash at this though...
Losing in QF: Ferrer, Gasquet, Tsonga, Simon
Losing in SF: Del Potro, Berdych
Runner-up: Djokovic
Winner: Murray

(There is a lot of hope involved in that Murray win, and not a huge amount of belief right now )

I've also made some pretty bold picks in coming to this decision, such as Anderson knocking out Tipsy... based on their performances last week.

I forgot to do this for Indian Wells so I'll get in early this time.

Losing in QF: Simon, Del Potro, Tsonga, Gasquet
Losing in SF: Ferrer, Murray
Runner-up: Berdych
Winner: Djokovic

Losing QF: Gasquet, Cillic, Ferrer, Simon
SF: Del Po, Berdych
Finalist: Djoko
Winner: Murray

Is it me, or has the draw for Miami been made a lot earlier in the week than the one for Indian Wells?

I like the idea of having a control group, JHM. It'll be interesting to see how accurate the seedings are throughout the year! Thanks for doing it.

Losing in QF: Anderson, Nishikori, Gasquet, Cilic

Runner-up: Murray

I'd wager Andy going out in his first round or winning the event, as well Cogen

He's actually got some tricky ties - but that is always the best thing for him

I'm convinced he's already got the clay court season on his mind - the way he is persisiting with his forehand suggests this

However, I'd like him to try and win a Masters for once!!

I'm happy with the decisions he made, but it's obvious from his press comments winning IW was far from his mind - so that must be the same for Miami

Mind you, if suddenley he seems the most in-tune player from May to Septemeber, then he's got it right - just like he did last year

Yes banbro, murray has the toughest quarter of any of the top 4 seeds. I could see Cillic and possibly Jerzy janowicz having an inspired match and putting murray out. But saying that I also picked him to win the tournament. I picked him at IW in attempts to jinx him i suppose and it worked at IW but Novak could not capitalize.

Breaking off from the prediction for Miami, where can I find the results for the Aussie Open and also for Indian Wells 2013 (which I forgot to go in for) ?

I don't think TSJ's calculated Indian Wells yet, sirfred, but the table including the Aussie Open results is in this topic. I can't seem to to find the specific topic where we all posted our AO predictions, though

The AO 2013 was stickied for the duration of AO and perhaps a bit later. I will try and find it.

Forgive me for banging on about this, but despite your help, I still cannot find the results for the AO 2013 predictions. The thread seems to stop mid-tournament. Is this revenge for me sunning myself on St Lucia beaches during the AO when everyone was freezing to death in wintry Britain? Any further help would be appreciated.

Rosol to knock out Djokovic in R2! Only joking, here's mine.

QF losers: Hewitt ("come onnnnn"), Nishikori, Gasquet, Tsonga
SF losers: Raonic, Del Potro
F loser: Murray
W: Djokovic

Do you mean the thread itself for the results for the tournament? The results are in this table: https://www.606v2.com/t39186-606v2-world-tour-2013

I haven't been putting the results at the end on the topic itself because... well... I forgot.

I've done the addition, I'll update the table on the main thread later tonight.

The winner in Miami is.....

ryan86 with 695 points!!

Miami Masters Forum Games GOAT?

Nice one Ryan, that was sure a tough one to call with 2 of the usual 4 not entering.
