606v2 ATP Picking Game: French Open

First topic message reminder :

1 game remaining

How to play:
- Every player has 32 picks. All picks must be used in mens main draw singles matches. The points besides each fixture represent the points you score if that
player wins. If your pick is wrong you LOSE 10 points. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner. To play post your picks on this thread, try to number them. A valid pick must be in the format Player A def/over Player B (Winner First). By the end of the tournament all 32 picks must be used, unused picks will be counted as losses. You are allowed to post picks each day until the match starts, so please check the order of play. All picks posted after play starts are invalid and can be replaced. A pick is void if a match does not take place due to withdrawal or a change in the draw but is valid if at least one point is played (so retirements count). Each player will also be able to place “Djoker Cards” on any FOUR of their 32 picks. If your "Djoker" pick wins you earn double winnings if he loses you will not lose any points. In case of more than one player being tied on the same score, the tiebreak will be number of right picks, if still tied then by 1st highest scoring pick, 2nd highest scoring

He's playing it wrong

Emancipator, the Galactic Reporter (and HitchHiker) should be spreading knowledge and enlightening the world. Derision of mortals does not become an Emancipator.

Tats just a little Dig on how I played the Picking game so far LF, I know Emanci and that comment was perfectly fine for me btw Emanci Jack Sock got the Joker win for me with 58 points

Nice IC, I'll be darned if Sock can beat the fleet of foot Haas though.

Just realized I got no more Jokers left, but I will pit Sock against Haas, Jack is going to R3. , I have been backing Socks for quite some time and he is playing awesome at the moment, look at his forehand its so technical let alone powerful, it got angle,placement,spin, and power to boot, very much like Jim at his best.

Sock has got power to boot? haha...I love inadvertent jokes!

He got the power to boot a player out in the match.

To quote Craig, you don't win a Slam in the first round, but you sure can lose it.

BB holds all his trumps for the later part of the tournament, after a torrid day where I was the 2nd last with -29 points great recovery on the 3rd day, actually I forgot to play on the 2nd day

Why no odds placed on
Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA)
vs.
Nicolas Almagro (ESP) [11]

Almagro is a top player and I could have played the underdog card here, need some respect for the Mugro.

7. Mahut d. Tipsarevic (Djoker #1)
8. Gulbis d. Monfils
9. Querrey d Hajek
10. Raonic d. Llodra

Sorry CJB...I guess you were calculating the 9 matches that had finished yesterday from my 12 picks. 3 carry over to today for those matches not started/finished.

Pospisil loses 8-6 in the 5th

Eventhough he is Canadian I was routing for Zeba, a guy who can beat Nadal in clay finals deserve to go deep in a clay court slam, he is playing good, specially to come back from 4-5 down in the decider., hard luck Lyd.

Thx IC.
Looks like Sizzling is going to suffer as well, was 2 sets up, now into the 5th!

Luv Sports Sock will rescue you from negative to positive in the Picking Game, all hail Socks

Sock is the future of tennis!

I'm a bit behind on the picks, but I'll make up for it from tomorrow. All of you amateurs are going down

Yen Lu gave a walkover to Philip so that doens't count right? I have my 21st pick available again right?

Bad day at the office, 2 huge loss and 1 walk over, counting on Young Americans Sock and Harrison to do the job for me.

18/20. Gasquet bt Pryzyzsnsznnznsnsy
