2        Andyjmr    23     23     22     24    20   32   8    24   176
3        Imoen      22     24     20     18    20   24   24   16   168
4        RobC       23     24     20     26    24   24   16   8    165
4=       Vonce      21     22     22     24    28   24   16   8    165
6        GC77       23     21     16     24    20   24   8    24   160
7        Drew       22     19     18     22    20   20   16   8    145
8        Steven     23     20     18     24    16   16   16   8    141
9        John       22     21     18     20    20   16   16   0    133
10       DavidC     18     20     22     20    24   12   16   0    132
11       Mkkreuk    24     18     22     14    20   16   16   0    130

Only Akhenaten got that Nadal would beat Murray (he should be deducted points for being unpatriotic)
GC77 and Andyjmr were the only ones to predict a Gonzalez win, the rest of us went for Blake.
Of the four to only get 1 right, 2 were Haas and 2 were Davydenko. I (the only one to get 2/4) got both those two.

Did everyone else have Murray getting to the Quarters or beyond?  I feel so ashamed.  

Still, I'll get over it...

Woohoo! I'm winning!  Woohoo!  

(I've got Blake to the final though, so it may well go wrong, I'll have to cheer on Nadal now).

Yep, most of us had him getting to semis/final/couple of wins.

The thing is, my expectation of Andy getting to Last 16 was met and almost surpassed, so I'm delighted.

For the rest of you, he didn't meet your expectations and you must be really disappointed.

A pessimist is never disappointed.

I'm afraid I'm away from my computer until late this evening so I won't be able to update the table for a while. I know I've got 32/32 if that helps anyone

Please be patient with me.

Patient with you......your doing  fab job so absolutely no problems with that....


Im 32/32 so far with both Roddick and Fed winning.......if all my picks win right through to Fed lifting the trophy then I will end up with 317. Much more than I got at the USO but will end up mid table.

A very boring day today. Only GC77, Mkkreuk and Andjmr got 16. They had chosen Djokovic, Stepanek and Ljubicic to reach the semis.In terms of movement up/down the table, Andyjmr dropped three places (so Imoen, RobC and Vonce gained one each) but everyone else remained the same.

Ahhhhhhh No editor means I can't work out how to post a table. Sorry! So here is the last day's results and the new totals.

1. Akhenaten: 16 235
2. Vonce: 16 213
3. Imoen: 0 200
4. RobC: 0 197
5. Andyjmr: 0 192
6. Drew: 0 177
7. GC77: 0 176
8. Steven: 0 173
9. john: 0 165
10. DavidC: 0 164
11. Mkkreuk: 0 146

As you can see we did terribly. Vonce and Akhenaten correctly predicted Haas to reach the semis, but the reset of us failed to get anyone right. Most thought Murray v. Davydenko would be the second sf, or at least that one of those two would get through. Other than that, Blake cropped up a few times, Berdych a couple and Mackin and Malisse both have a supporter in our midst.

I'll update the table with both semis results tomorrow, after the Gonzo/Haas match. Anyone desperate to know how they're doing let me know and there's a chance I'll answer your question

Three of us thought that Roddick would beat Federer. Oh well, maybe next time
None of us thought that Gonzalez would win through to the final. We actually agreed pretty much that the bottom half was between Blake, Davydenko and Murray. Interestingly none of them got to even the semis so shows how much we know!

Thanks very much for running the competition, Bethan, it's been fun. Not quite as fun as the USO last year (but that's just me LOL) - intriguing that the winner had 331 points, I think I had 330 back then. No doubt if Fed ever loses a GS, it'll take a lot less points to win this competition.
