Re: Tennis Dream Team 2011: Free US Open game * starts 29 A
My strategy of only picking players I'd heard of until I ran out of money then shoehorning anyone in seems to be working. Lost 3 in the womens and none in the mens and only have Murray left to play in Rd 1.

Re: Tennis Dream Team 2011: Free US Open game * starts 29 A
Anyone know what happened to Robin Soderling - shown as withdrawn and replaced by Rogerio Dutra Da Silva . Soderling was my first choice as I thought he had a good chance of making the final but there is no news on the US Open site about his late withdrawal.
Da Silva seems to have started well enough though, 6-0 in the first set of his round 1 game .

BBC - Sixth seed Robin Soderling withdraws from the US Open because of illness. Soderling was due to play Ireland's Louk Sorensen in round one and his place will be taken by Rogerio Dutra da Silva of Brazil.

Re: Tennis Dream Team 2011: Free US Open game * starts 29 A
Another of my players has decided to not win the US open because they are in my team.
I might ask for my ball back and then there won't be a US Open!!
That will teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget.
Unless they play with more than one ball, the rich gits.

lost three women so far (kvitova, pironkova and rodina) and although none of my men have lost, the fantastically-named Jack Sock (Jack Sock! ) doesn't seem to have scored any points! i guess he must have scratched...

US Open / Sock / No points - got to also be a 'darn' gag in there somewhere too.

Mini-league leader manages eight while second and third hold six and seven respectively.
But a few further down also include eight...

Men:
5-4 N Djokovic, 9-2 A Murray, 5 R Nadal, 6 R Federer,

TFF site displays some glitches, eg, Jill Craybas is shown as still in contention even though she was knocked out in the opening round.
Round two is now complete in both Singles events. On Friday night, eight - ie, half - of the women's third round ties were also concluded.

Yorkshiredragon provides the biggest move, up three to 11th.
And in a separate struggle, kizkiz edges past Pigeons to the foot.
Surprised, a traditional spoon holder, will do well to challenge this time.

With just both Finals* to come, Two left feet now holds the overall lead.
The chasing trio, however, have three players standing, one more than him.
In the Fiso league, just one team possesses all four finalists.
But the closest tussle is for the wooden spoon, with each side holding a different player.

In the Fiso league, just one team possesses all four finalists.
But the closest tussle is for the wooden spoon, with each side holding a different player.

Re: Tennis Dream Team 2011: Free US Open game * starts 29 A
Thanks for the updates and support. I am quietly surprised that I am top of this considering quite a few of my picks on the woman's side went out in the first round - however, my men's selections made up for this early setback.
It would seem I have a less than 50/50 chance to win this however, I still believe it is possible to win with good fortune.
The situation the way I see it is as follows,
I am 8 points ahead of 2nd place but he/she has an additional player (Stosur) that is the only difference. Nobody else can win this as far as I can tell.
I need Stosur to get less than 8 games in the final to win, any more than 8 is a narrow defeat.
I'd say I still have a 30% chance of winning this seeing how well Serena Williams is playing but I have to concede I am not favourite to win.
Let's hope for my sake (and not for every other tennis fan) that this is one of the most one-sided US open finals ever.

Good luck. It will be nice to have a Fisoer win this!

Women's Final on Sunday night
Based on this snippet from the Racing Post today it's going to be close:
Boylesports have seen good support for Stosur to win at least eight games and have cut her price to do so from 11-10 to 9-10.
