You mean your first pick was Azarenko! :P

Just had a look at the draw and needed to make two changes. I'm now confident of 8 out of 10 of my men getting through. 50/50 guess between Darcis and Dancevic, so that might be 9 :wink:

My final pick was JC Ferrero. Obviously he is a great player, and a cheap wildcard at £1.5m. Tough draw for him getting Michael Youzhny. Taking a gamble with it anyway as i am hoping Ferrero can cause a mini upset 8-)


Not even looked at the womans draw. That's a lottery!

I have had a look through the draw, and these are the 'potential' 4th round matches should they all get through...


Davydenko - Roddick :arrow: I can't pick a winner

Del Potro - Ferrer :arrow: I can't pick a winner

Gonzalez - Simon :arrow: Tough to pick a winner

Murray - Wawrinka :arrow: I do fancy Murray for this one

Robredo/Schuettler - Djokovic :arrow: He doesnt have a great record here, but i'd back Djokoic here

Blake - Cilic :arrow: Tough to call. Good grass record against good form

Tsonga - Verdasco :arrow: Very tough to call :?

Federer - Soderling :arrow: Regulation Federer win


Any ideas anyone? I currently have both Blake and Cilic, so would lose one for sure in the 4th round. That said, i see little that suggests an easy route through for anyone :shock:

Pair of Aces is in.

Tough draws to predict, with the lack of form at the top of the womens game and Nadal withdrawing.

Forever England now in.

Didn't really want to pick any of the blokes, but picked up 10 women in a matter of seconds - story of my life (I wish!)

Best of luck all.

See, they're similar, but they're not the same.

It's a bit like Glasgow Rangers and Queens Park Rangers.
Or Nottingham Forest and Walthamstow Forest.
Or Sheffield Wednesday and A Fortnight Next Wednesday.
Or Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting and Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting

Can you see what I mean, they sound the same, and at first glance you would be forgiven for thinking they were the same, but they're not the same. What they are is similar, sort of in the same vein, but not actually the same.

I hope I've managed to get my point across but if you need a wee bit more explanation, if you'd like me to elaborate a bit, in the interests of clarity, just give me a shout. I'll see what I can do :wink:

Unfortunately now, because I was away this weekend and my broadband wasn't working when I got back, I won't be able to defend my title this year. Call me Rafael. Good luck to everyone who's entered!

My team was in days ago: Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wade

I just picked a few names I wanted and added the rest almost at random. I had the intention of tweaking it after seeing the draw and comparing prices with bookies' odds but I'll stay cool and trust my initial pin work (actually I'd best just go back and check none of them have pulled out...)

Let it ride, murf.

Could be like finding Fabio Aurelio representing your team in place of Andrea Dossena...

Baghdatis withdrew long before the deadline, so it may well be a 0 there
