2018 Fantasy Tennis * scopsm wins series award *

[Surprised]

Best opening 2 days I have ever had

[Ralfbergs]

Using a mix of my previous tactics, so I think either I will be last or first in this one instead of mid table like usual

So far it is going just like I predicted

[Sport Billy]

I was in wasn’t I? Im not going mad. I saw my team with Sloane Stephens in it....

I have no clue what’s happened. I can’t even see my team any more! Ah well, best of luck everyone

[SamD]

@ SB: Yes, your team was in Fiso Federation on Sunday.

Could use Contact Us to find out what happened and to request reinstatement:

No chance, lost 7 men already (all of whom lost 3-2 hence false position!) plus wozniacki and mugurutha. Will probably finish in the mid - 200's..

Thanks Sam.

So, FISO’s 1st and 2nd in the French finish bottom and second bottom in Wimbledon.
Class is permanent...

[workie-ticket]

It's notoriously difficult to make the transition from clay to grass in such a short space of time! thanks Sam for the updates, decent tournament for me for once.

[SamD]

It's also 'notoriously difficult' to make predictions DURING a tournament:

No chance, lost 7 men already (all of whom lost 3-2 hence false position!) plus wozniacki and mugurutha. Will probably finish in the mid - 200's..

Just thought I would see what it looked like from the other end of the table for a change.

Last minute change of bringing in Cilic and Querry for Del Potro and Anderson was an error in judgement.
Think I will ignore Cilic in future selections.
As for the women's performance, no comment.

[Surprised]

Well done workie.
Thanks for running again Sam

[workie-ticket]

Obviously I miscalculated the degree of carnage in everybody else's team!

Thanks again Sam, look forward to the US open version.
