Draw is now updated! Deadline is Monday, 11AM EST (3PM GMT).
Good luck everyone!

Some topics of discussion, if anyone wants to participate:
What do you think about Nadal pulling out from defending 2000 points leading up to the US Open? Who do you have winning? Are you excited about the young guys perhaps making some upsets in the US summer swing?

From a general perspective, I'm glad. Mixing up the no.1 race and top 8 points is always more exciting. Shame for the guy and hinders his chance of USO success considerably in my opinion.

Nole or Raonic. Hopefully not Raonic, though.

I'm excited to see if Kyrgios can emulate his Wimbledon, and whether Dimitrov can start to prove some of the things being said about him. Beating a subpar Murray is all well and good but come Djokovic, he lost, and will need to beat someone like him to win a Masters/Major.

Glad huh? I may not use that particular word but I do agree a bit of a change at the top would be nice and over the last 6 months that's been happening. Too bad about Del Potro being injured. I enjoy watching his explosive tennis on the American hard courts :( Going back to Nadal, I'm not sure that it might hinder his chances at the US Open because his history shows that taking breaks from the game due to injuries have served him really well when he comes back from them. We shall see what happens.

Raonic in the final is a decent pick! Hope you're wrong because otherwise that would mean I'm wrong! :P

Yeah, I'm curious about Kyrgios too! Yeah I chose my words carefully ;) lol I'm also keeping an eye on Dimitrov, Thiem, Raonic, Nishikori among others but the thing is they haven't gotten a big big win yet imo. Maybe Raonic can make it since he's the highest ranked and has had pretty consistent results of late. So, yeah, I'm in agreement with you there!

Enjoy the BOTB and the Rogers Cup :)
