2017 ATP Sudden Death League: Paris

[Krish872007]

All over really, only 2 people left in this tournament - and that too only if RBA makes it through tonight.

Everyone else - gear up & get plenty of rest before the last big event of the year in London, it's the 2017 World Tour Finals.

Whew! I didn't get Garcia'd.

Oh No, let's hope Bautista take us to R16.

I might just regret my switch, but I tried to save Del Potro.

Which is fine unless the points awarded in this game are meant to be similar to points awarded to ATP players, where early round matches are generally easier and thus the winner receives fewer points. Has there ever been a consideration to awarding byes to the top SDL players for these events, just like the top ATP players are given byes in the first round?

I would vote against the highest ranked players getting byes in any tournaments. Iagree some of the most difficult picks are the first round when we're not picking "obvious favorites" and navigating first round matches with number 35 v number 52. And i think all players in our game should be on a level playing field.

R16: Goffin
BU: Dimitrov

Let's hope Benneteau loses at one point...

Two prediction league partners are last two alive in the SDL. Get as far as you can, NKP.

Interesting our perspectives, as you would be seeded and get an advantage, and I wouldn't be
Picking by the day can also be peculiar in these tournaments because some of the matches on the same day are not even in the same round.
But I spend a lot of my real life organizing tennis, so I know what it's like when those who are not doing the work, make suggestions. So I just want to make it clear it's a fun game I enjoy playing and I appreciate all those who make it possible.

Same here. I'll give my opinion, but always defer to the rules implemented by the folks who put in the time and effort so that we can all play.

Thanks again to all the organizers!

When was the last time that everyone was in Finland before the quarterfinals of a M1000? @Krish872007

This year didn't happen before Paris . And I don't remember something similar in 2016.

 

[TripleATeam]

Dammit Goffin- you just played atrociously today.

That's what I get for being greedy...

This is rare. I'll check on it and see. Last time might even be back in 2013

 

[Krish872007]

@RS92 - unbelievably, the last time everyone fell before the Quarter-Finals in a Masters tournament was back in Madrid 2011.

 

[StanTheMan]

That is crazy. Weird tournament.

Lol sounds like I wasn't the only one to leave Paris early.
