How many British main draw wins will we get at the 2024 French Open?

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

In terms of those predictors who could still possibly win this:
12 - JonH, Strongbow (+1 un named)

13 - Mdewey (+2 un named)

14 - Tanaqui, The Addict

15 - Elegant Point, Goldfish (only 1 vote showing, suggesting one of EP or Goldfish must have pushed the wrong button!)

16 - Blue Belle, Bob in Spain, Miriam ABC, Danny1312

17 - Jan, Emmsie69 (and Indiana said he would have voted 17 before play started!) (+ 1 other un named)
Adding Danny1312 to the list!

And with 2 people claiming they voted 15, there lies the problem with anonymous voting.

Well I am fairly sure it was 16 i know it wasn't 15 anyway but can take it off if me only being 90% sure is okay I'm not that fussed haha

Haha. Indeed - well, I guess it is only a game in the end, but it would help if people said their votes at the time.

I guess the only secure way is to do it like TA does it and not make it a poll, but I like the visual aspect of a poll showing the pattern of the votes, being honest, so will keep it like it is and ask people to tell us who they vote for if they wish!

Hi Danny, its fine - it is just a game at the end of the day!

Its a shame the polling tool doesnt show you what you personally vote in these things, perhaps by highlighting it to you alone. Oh well!

Anyway, we are at 12 wins and maybe can get a couple more before the week is out

Both Joe and Neal are in action tomorrow on Court Simone Mathieu. Joe at 10 am BST , Neal is third on

Joe and Rajeev lose, which means we have just Neal and Desirae left in and our field narrows to 12-14 wins
In terms of those predictors who could still possibly win this:
12 - JonH, Strongbow (+1 un named)

13 - Mdewey (+2 un named)

14 - Tanaqui, The Addict

I hope that TA and Tanaqui take this!!

13 wins - Neal and Desirae mixed semi

Those left in are:

13 - Mdewey (+2 un named)

14 - Tanaqui, The Addict

It all depends on the mixed final
The 2 un named folks who voted 13 - if you read this, please let us know who you are!! There is a big prize to be had, too big for mdewey to have on their own!!

Elegant Point · Satellite level

Bit disappointing, even if we get to 14 will be one less than 2023 hmm The LTA need an AAR!

Last year at Wimbledon, we had 30 wins. Ill set the range higher for this one to try and make sure theres scope to predict above 30, and probably increase the lower band by a few wins. Perhaps 14 or less (given we have the volume and in doubles) to 33 or more.

So, the final numbers will be determined sometime early afternoon today;

If Neal wins, we reach 14 for this FO (slightly disappointing and less than last year's 15) and Tanaqui and The Addict will get on our roll of honour for the first time.

Neal loses and we stick at 13, and Mdewey will be our winner (plus 2 un named people who still have time to unveil themselves if they so desire! It would be shame to win and not say who you are?!)

I think everyone is rooting for 14 wins, sorry Mdewey!
