New poll event - Wimbledon Invitational
Permalink  

With the real Wimbledon falling to the virus, what better than to hold our own invitational on the hallowed turf. 

16 men and 16 women. Each field will have the world top 12 plus top 4 British players as wild card entries. 

 

15 matches in each event, all on grass, I'll post a series of polls over the week when I make draw, starting tonight. 

No seeds it will be a free draw and new draw for each round. 

 

More later !

I'll post two mens and two ladies polls starting tonight, first round will run Saturday, Sunday, monday, tuesday. Qfs will be posted Wednesday and Thursday. Semis friday and the finals Saturday and closing sunday next weekend.

All matches , as there are 4 a day, will be centre court.

Mens best of 5

Ladies best of 3. Wimbledon rules as normal.

I'll give folks chance to vote on score ie 3-0, 1 or 2, 2-0 or 2-1 . Player with most votes will go through and by most popular score. If theres a tie by time I close a poll, I'll leave it open for an hour to see if tie is broken. After that I'll take the balance of the sets scores people have preferred. If still tied , I'll toss a coin !

Polls will go up between 10 and midnight each night and I'll close them after 24 hours, no more.

Draw and first matches posted tonight.

16 women are

Barty
Halep
Pliskova
Kenin
Svitolina
Andreescu
Bertens
Bencic
Serena Williams
Osaka
Sabalenka
Kvitova
Konta
Watson
Dart
Murray-Sharan

16 men are

Djokovic
Nadal
Thiem
Federer
Medvedev
Tsitsipas
Zverev
Berretini
Monfils
Goffin
Fognini
Bautista- Agut
Evans
Edmund
Norrie
Andy Murray

I'm going to allocate random numbers 1 to 16 to each player.

Would a board member, anyone at all, help by giving me 8 pairs of numbers 1 to 16 to help form the first round womens draw, and maybe if someone separate could give me 8 pairs of numbers 1 to 16 to form the mens draw?

I'll check in later and put the draw up! Thanks in advance for anyone who helps!

Redraw controversy in new Wimbledon Invitational.

Open draw, but when it produces a heavyweight contest it mysteriously manages to annul itself
