I will be a few points better off when Dementieva finishes off her game.

Still very early, but a nicely run competition. Nice, simple scoring. Fast updates. What more could you want? (apart from Ana Ivanovic) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7470890.stm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Djorkovic out in straight sets, that'll hurt a lot of teams.

Ivanovic saves 2 match points to take her game to a third set

Day 3 scores....

New Balls Please! 686
Jest Hit it! 633
Djokos Djokers 625
Ravers making a racquet 607
the fimbles 599
Bloodaxe United 579
The Kop Kings 579
Oh I Say 578
The Racquets Of Dodd 570
Toffeelover 569
Pimms & Pigeons 568
Toblerowns 567
The Bare Bones 566
fozzies 557
Pair of Aces 511
Nelson Admirals 510
Lythgoe's Disciples 488
Roger That! 462

...but plenty of scope for movement, looking at the eliminations and the number of second round matches completed. Shaggy has a lot of survivors (but there again he clearly went for the most seeds he could pack in) but I fancy it'll be won by a team with Federer and Nadal in it...

:wink:

Don't care. I'm quite happy with where I am. Still got plenty of people left in & you've got to be in it to win it.

(also a bit too much detail by zipnolan who's obviously checked everyone's entry)

Having been not available to view my position I had a look, and I was 10th in the FISO league (16th in Mens & 2nd in Womens). Came back to it having put jnr to bed, pressed the F5 and I'm 2nd !!!

I know it will change again in about 5 minutes, but had to get my 5 minutes of fame (but not fortune)

Shaggy still looks well-placed, with 13 survivors.

For some reason one of my Russian women, Kleybanova, is showing as eliminated, even though she won today :?

I continue to be incredibly impressed by the efficiency with which this game is run. I wrote to them explaining that they had knocked Kleybanova out of the tournament a bit early. Within 5 minutes I received this reply:

Hi Peter

Thanks for pointing out the error. As the day gets longer with the late matches the brain gets a bit confused with the players names!

Kleybanova is now showing as still in the tournament.

Grrr. Just lost 2 men in the dark. Ferrer & Seppi.

Tabbed onto the competition as soon as Seppi had lost, pressed the F5, and the scoreboard had updated with the result. V. impressive.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for my entry.

I hear Silent Manager have taken over the running of this game. Hope so, it will mean Roddick will get loads of points this week!

I have corrected your spelling Spencer, due to hearing that SM are trying to work out how many points to award for a draw :lol:

Looking fairly good for me at the minute, although with the shocks so far in this tournament wouldn't be surprised to see another favourite go. Shame I haven't got Serena in the ladies, would be quite confident then.
