Have been away on holiday for a couple of weeks so missed this competition completely, as did a few friends without me to push them into completing their picks. Am pretty certain there would have been no glory for me, so dropping only one place in the overall table is not too bad. Had to rely on the occasional ticker update from CNN for any news and once they showed only one result - AM losing to FISH - that was almost all I needed to know.

Been trying to catch up with all the threads and articles from other sites and was amused to see this on Eurosport in an article on Roddick's win -

'Stefanki thinks that the American's sudden improvement in form is due to a combination of weight loss and his swimsuit model wife - a blend which Jamie Murray and Alex Bogdanovic are contemplating adopting too.'

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere but am still reading through.
