Boddington - I tend to perform inversely proportional to how confident i am.
Hopefully that will continue as i dont have much faith in this team.

Re: 2018 Fantasy Tennis * Oz Open after Round One *
Hi
Can anyone help me out please?
I put a bet on Steve Darcis to win the Aussie Open but he didn't start and wasn't in the qualifiers
Where can I find out what he's up to?
Not a big deal but I'm curious why he was even in the betting at all
He was 500-1 BTW

Injury
In reply: after Steve Darcis played through a (then undisclosed) tendon tear in the Davis Cup final against France, the Belgian said he'll be out for three months or more.

Re: 2018 Fantasy Tennis * Oz Open after Round Two *
I think the first Grand Slam of the year has usually been bad for me and this is no exception. I did have quite short time to make my teams plus I haven't followed tennis for a while, but not sure if I would have done much better anyway. Latvian women tennis players are also out, so not a good tournament for me at all
