Emma won 6-3, 6-4, just exceeded my women's singles estimate. What's ETA?

Wow. With Joe still in both Mens and Mixed and Emma showing no signs of flagging my 26 is looking decidedly conservative!!

Maximum of 32 wins possible now:

3 mens doubles with two semifinalists,
2 mixed
2 womens singles
25 in the bag.

Would be nice.

For the hard court slams, you could probably start at 15, with more exact numbers at the top end, and 35+. RG would need to be lower, and Wimbledon even higher limits perhaps.

I used to do them grouped into 2s. Eg 1-2, 3-4 etc rising up to 39-40 as an example

I think in general having specific numbers is better. Could vary the range for these as per Miriambee's post. I wish we could have more options.

 I think we could go 15 or less (please specify in comments) and then 1 by one until all the poll rows are filled. If I do the next one, I will do that.

 and then at the top end 35 and more perhaps? or whatever the maths is - I cant remember how many Wimbledon got, I used to switch it around per event.

 

It is a bit of fun, but I had thought a little league table through the year of predictions for the slams wins would have been fun, maybe with an overall winner. But that is more work and I didnt have the time to be frank and wouldnt expect anyone else to either!!

 Perhaps we need a hybrid approach. At the bottom have ranges, so perhaps 0-7, 8-12, 13-14. Then do single figures through the most likely values (especially near the secular average) then start ranges again, 25-26, 27-30, 31-35, 36+

 

Obviously the exact numbers I have chosen may be inappropriate but others more expert than I will know.
