Deadline closed this Monday afternoon with 17 teams in the Fiso league.

Appropriately, both Pigeons and Big Bird get off to a flyer with two early wins, while kizkiz is up there too.

League standings will be published at end of each night's play in New York, ie, the following morning in UK.

[Surprised]

1 player has played so far and he is now out.

You're my hero.

I'm sure the players lose on purpose to screw up my team

I was about to say I'm also 1/1 but obviously I'm just not in your league.

It takes skill to get it as wrong as me.

It could be 3/3

[BOLTONBOY]

I've lost Doi who retired and Kvitova.I have Sharapova but hope Heather wins.At least Laura won for me.

[kizkiz]

Lost stakhovsky and kvitova
Massive shocl to see her lose!

On a personal note, i really need a djokovic vs nadal final. Gambling is bad

[murf]

Sorry but I just couldn't find the time to look at this and enter.

I especially apologise to the eventual winner who will have a somewhat hollow victory knowing that the reigning champion (Wimbledon) didn't enter. Sorry.

eh? what? How?

[SamD]

Calm down, etc: top three in league have had ten or more first rounders already.

Five of us at t'other end of table have seen six or fewer starters to date.

Nice going, all the same, MvL.

[Surprised]

10 played and 5 already going home

[Herc6]

10 played and 5 already going home

Improvement then?

[Surprised]

10 played and 5 already going home

Improvement then?

Huge.
100% failure rate down to just 50%

[Moist von Lipwig]

this is ridiculous - I'm 11th overall.

I have no idea what I'm doing but have 8/8 through in mens and 6/8 through in womens.

[SamD]

US OPEN after day two of 14 (Tuesday's play)

MvL is fifth overall and leads the Fiso league.
GM climbs two rungs into second place.
Biggest mover is eagle, from bottom into the top three.
Surprised [and no one should be] begins a slow descent.
But kizkiz may challenge strongly for the wooden spoon...
