Oh heck!

this is only a game so if Canda wishes to change her selection (narratively) from Sonay by tomorrow night, happy to accommodate!

Hmm. Known to have been out with a back issue. Pay your money ( very reasonable entrance fee ), take your choice. It's a game but ...

Sorry if I appear real mean.

I see the womens starts at 1030am tomorrow but I hadnt appreciated that - I asked like the mens it would be Sunday.

I cant change the vote close timer but Id like to request all votes in the womens are made before 1030am. Anyone leaving it later will have a big asterisk after their name

Seriously, I wont ignore later votes as I did say 11 pm but it would be nice if people can get them in before play starts if they wish to vote - otherwise their conscience may not be clear and that is a terrible thing!

Even your laissez faire is laissez faire

SuperT · Futures level

Oh dear I thought I had all day tomorrow to think about this but need to make a decision now to be sure of beating the 10am deadline!! I really hope that Alicia and Katie Swan will have good grass court success, but with all the tournaments being quite high level wins won't be easy to come by. So on the basis that she might have a good run at Nottingham again, I vote for Katie B.

Thank you SuperT, appreciate the rushing. I wouldnt have ignored a later vote, as Brendan F says, effectively, Im an easy going chap and it isnt that important. But Indy would probably call foul at some point and I dont want that!

womens play starts at 1030am today, so if possible if entries could be in by then. The poll wont close until later but it would be nice if anyone can resist entering a prediction after 1030 and play having started as this will give them an advantage im sure they would not want!
