Okay, the season over, the results have been calculated, we have a winner.

Yorkie who finished 1st, 3rd and 10th in the 3 tables is the overall 2009 prediction king.............the Daddy on here, the main man! Just 1 point/position in front of seagull.....you know tennis, its afine line between victory and defeat.

20 posters took part making 18 predictions each, a total of 360 guesses. Only 1 was 100% correct. kinley's prediction that Chris Eaton would finish 495.

The 3 tables below have the individual tables.

Thanks for this, it was very interesting, and well done to Yorkie! From my point of view, you were right about the third set being the (most) "unpredictables" disbelief

Looking at which of the players did better than expected, Dan Smethurst, Dr No and the Wardinator all did better than any of us expected, the latter by the probably unexpected route of replacing one stellar tournament with consistent early round wins. Dan Cox did better than all but one of us expected too and even the other three young guns did better than at least half of us expected, so well done to them!

Even before seeing the figures, it was clear that slightly older Brits who started the year at Challenger level were very disappointing this year, and the figures make this very clear - apart from Boggo, who finished around the middle of our collective expectations, and Eaton, who most of us didn't have high expectations of anyway, they all did worse than 90%+ of us expected - maybe it wouldn't have been quite so bad if Goodall, Wardy, Bloomers and Slabba hadn't all suffered from injury or illness at some point - maybe they can prove themselves next year.

The scores below are the number of predictions that each player did better than followed by the number of predictions they did worse than:

Boggo 10-10
Goodall 0-20
Wardy 2-18
Bloomers 1-19
Slabba 0-20
Eaton 7-12 (1 exact as Shhh mentioned)

Evo 10-10
Milton 11-9
Cox 19-1
Rice 20-0
Willis 10-10
Smethurst 20-0

Baker 4-16
Marray 0-20 (he effectively gave up on singles and concentrated on doubles)
Fleming 1-19 (doubles success limited his singles chances)
Feaver 17-3
Arlidge 1-19
Wardinator 20-0

Overall 153-206
