First topic message reminder :

1 games 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

Bog and Ryan, top 2 in rankings have struggled in the slams so far, Silver well on course for a FO - Wimby double.

Bit of feedback about which tournament we want to do next
Hamburg (500)(15/07-22/07)
Citi Open (500)(29/07-05/08)
Togers Cup (1009)(05/08-12/08)

Anyone fancy inputting on next tournie?

by ryan86 Sat 29 Jun 2013, 11:26 pm

I'm tempted to say keep it just to the 1000's. The next two 500's are pretty weak and are events that won't have a great level of interest and probably won't gather enough interest.

Either the Rogers Cup or the next MS1000 I think, CJB. Plus, you could take the opportunity to rest after two slams nearly back to back!

25. Verdasco d. De Schepper
26. Kubot d. Mannarino

So tempted to go for Seppi yet again, but...

Verdasco almost did it for me, had he closed the match I would have been at the top spot, but nevertheless it was a good game, and well done Silver for running away with another GS. clap

I am kinda confused here, are the punters claiming Del Potro beating Djoko probability is less than an unknown Jerzy beating the home favorite Murray ? Whistle

May be the punters are more worried about his knee than the name itself. Doh

by lydian Fri 05 Jul 2013, 6:56 am

No, greater probability - how do you figure that the other way given a Djoker and single pick has been put on Delpo?

We have to assume the knee can survive today...it'll be better supported and its been dry weather since, the courts will be hit/dry today as well. Delboy beating Djokovic has a greater probability given he beat Novak on OG on grass 11 months ago and also beat him just 3 months ago at the same stage of IW too.

Ok Murray lost to Jerzy even sooner ago but that was indoors, 3 sets and Murray should have won it in straights given he had MP in set 2. Either way, each underdog won't have fear today which makes for a good spectacle but Delboy has the better chance knee notwithstanding.

by Silver Fri 05 Jul 2013, 10:21 am

31. Del Potro d. Djokovic

I've missed 4 matches not 5, CJB.

That could be crucial.

by CJB Sat 06 Jul 2013, 11:35 am

Nah you have picked for 26 games. If you pick the other that is 27, so you've missed 5

by ryan86 Sat 06 Jul 2013, 6:35 pm

I'm thinking after the intriguing French Open finale, all that is up for grabs here will be 5th and 6th.
