Wimbledon Dream Team 2009

[sorbiegunner]

Black Diamond Bay make a healthy leap from 38th to 35th

This is the start of a surge, watch this place

[SamD]

Singles betting (leading dozen and draw position by quarter)

Men
4/6 Roger Federer Q4
11/4 Andy Murray Q2
14 Novak Djokovic Q3
16 Andy Roddick Q1
33 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Q4
40 Lleyton Hewitt Q1
66 Tommy Haas Q3
80 Fernando Verdasco Q4
80 Robin Soderling Q4
100 Fernando Gonzalez Q2
100 Marin Cilic Q3
100 Tomas Berdych Q1
150 bar

So if bookies have got it right, semi-finals will be:
- Roddick v Murray
- Djokovic v Federer

Women
19/10 Serena Williams Q4
5/2 Venus Williams Q2
15/2 Victoria Azarenka Q4
12 Dinara Safina Q1
16 Svetlana Kuznetsova Q1
20 Caroline Wozniacki Q1
25 Elena Dementieva Q3
25 Jelana Jankovic Q2
50 Amelie Mauresmo Q1
50 Ana Ivanovic Q2
66 Marion Bartoli Q3
66 Agnieszka Radwanska Q2
80 bar

Ladies look top heavy (!) with seven of leading ten in upper half of draw.
If forecasts are correct, semi-finals will see:
- Dinara Safina v Venus Williams
- Elena Dementieva v Serena Williams

Only three of the top ten teams in the FISO mini-league have five of these eight potential semi-finalists...

Good match on at the mo - Cirstea - Azarenka.

Cirstea is my kind of girl Stunning

[Mike_]

I've searched on 'Wimbledon' to post exactly the same as ^^

[TheTon]

Brilliant game going on at the mo between my man Cilic, and Tommy Haas. Two sets all, 5 all in the 5th, fading light, breaks of served, saved match points, failiures to serve out the set!!! Excellent stuff

[Pincher]

Bartoli was the big let-down for me today.

Hoping Cilic can come back and wrap it up tomorrow afternoon too Ton.

[sorbiegunner]

Good match on at the mo - Cirstea - Azarenka.

Cirstea is my kind of girl Stunning

Has she got three nipples?

[The Bear]

Need Haas to win and Davydenko
Stosur winning would be good too !

[sorbiegunner]

I've sort of adjusted my expectations for this comp now.

I'm now thinking the FISO league wooden spoon would be a worthy result.

In fact that was my aim all along.

[TheTon]

I have also lost Stosur already today . Not looking good now. If Cilic doesnt beat Haas, i'll have lost a more players than i would like going into week two

[Grant]

Not doing a great job so far of keeping up with last year's second place in the FISO league! Only the three players left in the ladies singles, but stronger in the men's draw, and pleased to see Haas through earlier on, so should hopefully move up the table to a bit more of a respectable position in the second week. Annoyed with the gamble on Safin rather than going for Berdych who I had until the last minute, and who is looking useful!

[TheTon]

Cilic and Ferrer join Stosur on my scrap heap. Very bad day today for me

[Grant]

And make that 2 ladies left, as Kuznetsova exits stage left

Williams sisters final it is then......

[BravoT]

If you've seen an "Arvind Parmar's Trophy Cabinet" floating around - that's me.

Been around the top of the overall Men's Team list, was 1st on Tuesday!

Not joined up to this league though. Didn't realise FISO had one!

I had seen that, it made me laugh and wonder where on earth he is nowadays.

PS Never got an answer to my earlier Q on this thread - can anyone shed any light on why the position my team is apparently in on my homepage bears no resemblance to the overall leaderboard?

Im guessing that, like me, no-one has experienced any problems (I've played almost every slam for the past 2 years). Have you tried contacting them?

Hi El Pappje

This is how my team page looks. How does it compare to yours............


User name: Nigel

Men's points: 533
Women's points: 457

Overall position: joint 49th

Men's position: joint 208th

[Jameselaprendi]

Nigel, your team looks correct to me.

You should note that they havent updated scores for most of Saturdays matches. You have 82 points still to recieve for Murray, Roddick + Hewitt if im not mistaken.

I guess they're taking most of the weekend off...

That's what I get, too - but then if I look at the "Leaderboard" I don't appear in the place where my pts score would get me, and I don't appear either where my place is mentioned as. That is what is confusing me, but with it being my 1st time I wonder if I have missed something. It doesn't matter ultimately for my works competition, but for personal knowledge I'd like to know how I am faring.

[Shaggy365]

I fear I've blown this. Been away for a long week-end, not seen any tennis, or any sport.

Came back last night & I've lost most of my players.

Never mind. I've had my moment of glory at the top of the leader board.

Roll on next year.

el-pap: access and data is fine here; may be worth querying issue directly with administrators?

For info, theres no need to log on to view leaderboards or own team.
Once mini-league is identified, simply use it to gain access to all other info.

Exactly the same here. I was #1 overall at one point but had been falling away. I'd only lost 5 players before the weekend but now I'm pretty much spent.

Roll on next year.

[el_pappje]

Cheers, Sam. I think I best had query it with the site admin. Unfortunately I am not in a mini-league (fell foul of the 12noon cutoff after registering at 1150am!) so I can only see myself by logging in.

[bagpuss]

This may sound like a stupid question, but have you checked the under-18s table?

Whats your team name?

[el_pappje]

It's a very un-stupid question, actually - that's precisely what it is

I have no idea how that happened.

[bagpuss]

A box pops up asking if you are over 18 when you first sign-up. A couple of times I've nearly been caught out.

[SamD]

am not in a mini-league ... so can only see myself by logging in.

Not so. Another way is to add your username to the end of this incomplete URL, ie, after the equal sign:

Looks like Jameselaprendi has it in the bag. He's also got a shot at winning £150 worth of womens clothing!

[The Bear]

I thought before todays play that No1 court was the place to be - how Federer was on centre instead of Roddick v Hewitt is beyond me!
The Williams sisters get pushed around all courts while Fed is always on centre court even when is matches dont look that exciting!
