Nasty Quokkas joined. Picked quite risky teams (especially for ATP), will see if it pays off or not.

Walking Down Madison has entered.

Happy with my ladies team. 8-)

Not sure if going for the Big 4 in the men's is the way to go. Doesn't leave much money to play with :shock:

Good luck all

murf's mob have warmed up, knocked up, removed their tracksuit trousers, poured a glass of Robinson's Orange Barley Water and entered the FISO league. It can only go downhill from here.

I'm sure I'm the worst player at this. I think I've made the podium once in about 20 tries and filled one place in the bottom three about 50% of the time. And I usually think long and hard about my team :lol: :oops:

25 minute bell

I didn't have Murray in my first draft but caved and included him eventually. I have since seen that Peppa Pig has sent him a good luck message so that should give him the necessary extra motivation to justify his selection. #pigsandsheepuniteforandy

(note joint-favs in Women's Q1 & Q3)

Code: Select all

      M           W
  Q1  Murray      Kerber/Muguruzu
  Q2  Nadal       Pliskova
  Q3  Federer     WilliamsV/Ostapenko
  Q4  Djokovic    Kvitova
- remaining seeds
- qualifiers and wild cards at £1m
- others.

So, what's the best strategy?
  • entrants with 'quarter' favourites - eg: murf, nigel1305 have seven
    those with most seeds, eg: four hold 13: TBLewandowski, Surprised, Grant, workie-ticket
    balanced team; eg: topspur is only one with five or fewer in a column.
For what it's worth, latter is own preference generally.
Of course, we still need to find those who progress well in each category.
Good luck, and happy viewing.

Cheers Sam,

Hoping to get all 10 through in the women's draw

Still not sure what the best tactic is in the men's

Need the big 4 to win by bagels to justify their pricing or some long semis :shock: and final if they all get through.

Was tempted to put Isner in as he always seems to be involved in 5 set matches and there is always the chance of a massive 5th set (aka 70-68 a few years ago). Thought Bedene vs Karlovic was headed that way tonight.

Should be a good day of tennis tomorrow :D

Snap. 6/6 so far :D

Shame it is only 2/5 in the men's :oops: Kyrgios was a disaster but at least my 2 losing cheapoes went down in a modicum of style scoring 37pts between them. And I avoided Wawrinka.

Glad I didn't pick Wawrinka after what happened yesterday. Didn't see that coming!

I've lost Karlovic and Benneteau which I'm disappointed with though. Thought they would have got through. :oops:

Still annoyed at changing my team to remove Medvedev and Herbert. Even worse as was at Queens to see Kryios default but still picked him, exacerbating the changes. Schoolboy stuff :roll: :lol:

100% today so 10/10 women in round 2. Top 50 overall but still not in FISO top 5! Des/Yatta 3rd overall - congrats.

Murf looking good in the womens draw. I see the Bear is up there too. He always was a Ladies Man :wink:

9/10 and 9/10 through for me

Could have done with Fed and Djoko not getting de facto walkovers. :evil:

Could be a tough day with a few of my wildcards /qualifiers up against it based on match odds :shock:
