Semifinals: Djokovic v. Wawrinka Berdych v. Murray
Finals: Djokovic v. Murray
Winner: Nole

DH: Anderson

Just for you Kiu, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

Tsonga is a seeded player and so cannot be wild card.

Maybe not a real "wild card," but maybe a WC or "dark horse" winner! uzzled :angel:

Gosh so many rules....can I switch and make Tsonga a DH and Anderson a WC?

If Tsonga is not eligible then I will pick Vasek.

[Bounce It !!]

QF Novak v Tsonga, Stan v Grigor, Milos v Berdych, Isner v Roger

SF Novak v Grigor, Milos v Roger

F Grigor v Roger

Winner ROGER

DH Jo-Wilie Tsonga

WC Gael Monfils

I believe Novak will come back to life, but Grigor will step up after losing this week to Tsonga. Also, Jo Willie is likely to come back down to earth, although he makes a great Dark Horse. I don't see Murray getting through Isner, if John remembers he's playing on home turf (US).

Roger is Roger, and Monfils is Monfils !! We'll have to wait and see who is in form.

Yes, you can switch Tsonga and Anderson.

You can pick Vasek too.

It is your choice. Both meet the rules.

At least we've hit the minimum for a prize, right?

 

[Moxie]

Mox, please don't pick Nole to win, pretty please

:lolz: Well, I got skunked on that in that last one. For both our sakes, I picked Murray this time. I hope that makes you happier. :hug

I commiserate with you. If it consoles you, my wild card Ivo Karlovic also lost already. :cry
Take it easy. Wild cards are the most difficult ones to pick. Look at the positive side.
Each one of us, can still get 200 points. :snigger That is lot more than needed to win.
Last week's winner BB got only 90 points.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Oh dear, just realised I had Anderson as my WC as well, woops!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

The first match of the second round (Stan Wawrinka vs. Benjamin Becker) is likely to
start in the Grandstand in less than an hour. If you are a regular member and would like
to submit an entry for the contest, please do as soon as possible and before that.

Sarah Errani and Yanina Wickermeyer are currently playing in the Grandstand with a
scorline of 2-2 in the thrid set. After their match is over Stan and Becker will come on.

Looks like Tsonga is about to go out to my wildcard Youzhny.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Looks like Tsonga is about to go out to my wildcard Youzhny.

Too bad, I was thinking Tsonga will win a couple of matches at least when he has
the momentum. But l didn't think he was going to go deep again.

I said few days ago that it looks like orange is the new black. It looks like black is
the new black.

If at all there will be some consistencey, it will be Fed reaching (and losing) the finals.

I had a feeling, he would not quite recover from the excitement of his win, especially in time for a first round meeting with a really good player Youz. I think if he had gotten a qualifier or somebody, he would have had a better chance to get his mind together after such a huge achievement.
