I can't bring myself to go against players I like or for players I dislike.

No wonder that I suck so badly at all sorts of fantasy sports games....

Sheddie · administrator

well that's not all bad regarding your chances in the fantasy games. It does at least mean that you don't bet on Nadal and his odds are almost always so short that there's generally little point in doing so.

Salmon · Tennis legend

Yeah, but I've thrown away advantages by choosing Henman over Nadal on clay and such.

But in the end, this makes me feel better, so this is what I'll always do.

Guys, as accurate as your predictions may be (Arka's in particaular) this game is only for MAIN DRAW of ATP events, so USM your prediction doesn't count. And Rob/Arka you'll only get points if Baker does reach the main draw.

Hey!!! That's just the same as last year.

Anyways, you're supposed to be a Baker fan(the ulmtimate one on occassions) so you shouldn't have predicted he'll lose next match anyways.

steven · Tennis legend

Er - let's go for nobody in any ATP main draw, seems fairly safe!

He's gone out of the qualifying

No Brits playing in ATP events this week so no points on offer.

Start making predictions for the Aussie Open whenever you want (you might want to wait for the draw to come out though!) Remember it's only for the main draw so qualifying doesn't coutn. And the points are doubled as it's a grand slam. Good luck all.

Andy Murray to win AO.

Whoops! Should have read his thread first. Just saw Arkas post and assumed he'd qualified!

Yes I'm happy to carry on running the comp again.

I was going to propose one subtle addition to this years rules, since a lot of the comps might only be with Andy in. I fear it might be a case of being a 'how far will Andy get" comp, so I propose

The pot would be decided on , in order:

1. Who goes furthest, (as before)

2. How far they get (as before)

3. Who they go out to.

Thanks for stepping in, only just got back from hols. I suggest that Starting with the A.O, predictions should contain all 3 items. For example In the case of doing an "Andy to reach final" prdeiction without the who beats him bit, for last week, then the entry is still valid, but would lose out to another prediction of "andy to lose to Lubi in final", but would still split the points with a "Andy to lose to soderling in final" prediction.
