I'm keen to break into the overall Top 400. Currently world ranked 423 and proud.

I can only dream of a ranking like Steven's 12th.

Akhenaten for Top 100.

Hey Ive just realised...Im in the top 100...92nd !!

(Dropped 88 places today down to 282 so might not be top 100 by the end !)

PHM breaks Hernandez in the fifth! With PHM, though, you don't know...

R1 has finally finished with Centre Court on top in the teams league and Tush from Tennisopolis on top individually with 52/64, slightly less than the 54 that the R1 winners scored at the last AO & USO and 4 off the record of 56/64 for Wimby last year.

The pages linked to from http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html are all up to date to at least that stage. I'll continue to update R2 results for as long as play continues today.

Everyone has already lost at least 5 R2 winner picks - see the WP SLR column on the main table for how many you had left at the end of R1.

We also now know the draw for the extra team comp we run for slams, the Team KO. Seedings and the draw are based on RG R1 points, these Team KO L16 matches to be decided by RG R2 points.

You can get to the KO scores via the BT competitions page, the teams league table or directly at http://www.britishtennis.net/pickem/2008rgko.htm?n=1 - N.B. the teams league still carries on, the KO is a separate competition that gives teams two chances of winning something - at the AO, MTF won the league and britishtennis.net the KO.

A bit of luck is involved in the KO, depending on whether teams you draw just happen to be about to have unusually good or bad rounds. Clearly the matches should go with seeding, because those doing well in R1 are likely to have more R2 winner picks left, but things change round by round and I'll be very surprised if the top 8 seeds all make it to the winner QFs!

Notice that the Robots are seeded 3 - they had a storming time today, despite being handicapped by having Amélie (who always picks French players to win, otherwise by rankings) on their team. Billy the Bookie and Average Joe have done well throughout R1 and the rankings bots were among the top scorers in the R1 matches played today.

I am sucking quite badly at this. I apologise.

Join the club at least you are in the 200's (289) I am falling like a double kebab on a Friday night in Luton at 314 !!!

 

I'm glad to be helping out the team, perhaps it'll begin to make up for the many, many, many times I've dragged us down!!

Steven and I are locked in an epic battle at the moment. There are two matches in the second round I can score for that he can't, but more importantly there are two matches we've picked different winners for...Dima/GGL and Vassallo Arguello (who needs a shorter name)/Nieminen. After a tense first set, Dima is doing the business for me, and theres a stalemate in the other match, I'm hoping it ends my way...Come on VA!
