Super. Same here, and I have just finished all my uni work so have lots of time to spend sacrificing chickens and making wax models, etc.

hmmmm.... I think I'm going to have to get the ATP to change their ranking system to work on alphabetical order of first names. It's going to be easier than building a spreadsheet with all the scores of the 13 compulsory tournaments it.

Two competitors on court at the moment. C Rochus is a break down in the first set but keep the pins in, it's a five setter after all. Martin on the other hand is a set up, 63. give the pins a tweak for him please.

RobC · All-time great

Rochus lost the second set as well

Martin won the second These pins aren't working. Come on Alessio Di Mauro!

(Dimo just steam rollered over Udomchoke 1,4 & 2 He'll have to go out in the second round I guess)

Martin wins

Rochus is one serve in the third, being 2 sets to love down.

Phau is 1 set all, on serve in the third.

Allez Julien Benneteau! - I don't think we care which of these faces Andy, so all pins to help Greg!

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

Benneteau takes the third set 6-2 and has 15-30 on Phau's first service game of the fourth. Allez Julian!

Christophe Rochus just lost that's one place Tim won't lose.

Keep the pinwork up people.

RobC · All-time great

Benneteau wins the third. 2-1 up, but downa break in the 4th

Rochus is out

RobC · All-time great

....and Benneteau also wins. Phau is out. Andy to play the Frenchman. So the nearest threat to Greg's place is now Tim

Simon is one set down to Grosjean - keep up the good pin work there - if he loses, Andy goes past!

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

Excellent pins against Phau there. Simon is currently a set and a double break down against Grosjean Come on Grosjean!

And Malisse is just started against Stepanek, our resident Competitor killer. PLease put a few pins in there to help The Ugly One along!

Table updated.

Dimo, Youzhny, Max, Mahut, and Fish advance. Looking nice and clear ahead of Andy. Looking very crowded behind him.

Over to the Studio, for Imoen and her swingometer.

Rob, when players have the same score, all you have to do is look those players up on tennisfacts.com or the ATP breakdown.

The thought of complicating my spreadsheet even further fills me with horror. . .

I suppose you're right. It's hard enough transcribing the spreadsheet correctly, without having to look out for that, thoug........maybe I can add a fraction of a point to those to whom it applies, so that the sort function picks it up automatically. In the meantime, it's high time for young Novak to lose his match to make the issue moot!

edit: just this once, I've swapped them manually
