Welcome to the 2nd event of the 2020 ATP Sudden Death League season: Australian Open

Play starts on Monday 20th January

2020 ATP SDL - LEAGUE FILE

Rules of the game:

1. It's a knock out-system: if the player you picked wins, you're through to the next round. If he loses, you're out.

2. You can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you have no picks remaining, you're eliminated from the competition.

3. You can't pick a player from a match that has started already.

4. You cannot advance to the next round via a walkover since it is hard to know exactly when someone announced they were pulling out HOWEVER this rule does not apply once you reach the semifinals

5. As you cannot win a match by a walkover it is highly advised that you make a back-up pick to your main pick. Your pick and back up cannot be from the same match. If so, back up will be invalidated.

6. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If he retires before the match, your back-up pick will be used unless you change your pick before your back up match begins.

7. NEVER edit your pick. If you want to change your pick, please quote your old pick and choose a new player. Edited posts will not be taken into consideration.

Pick 1: Round 1 bottom

How do the two picks for early rounds work? Do they have to be split (1 top 1 bottom) or can they be on the same side? Do I post them together, if I don't know what order the matches are going to be played in (who knows what the scheduling is going to be...)

The first day either the top or bottom plays, and you make one pick for that day. The second day the other half plays, and you make a pick from that half.

If you don’t want to wait, many participants pick one from each half at the same time.

I think the top half is going on first judging from many posts in the general discussion tournament thread.

R1 Top: Busta
BU: Kyrgios

BTW: The first post says that all picks through R3 are from the bottom half

R1 Bottom: Raonic
BU: Hurkacz
Excuse me, I'm a newbie... I don't understand if I can wait to pick the top half or not...
However, to avoid misunderstandings I add the missing part to my previous post. Thus my picks are:

R1 Bottom Half: Raonic
R1 Bottom Half BU: Hurkacz

R1 Top Half: Carreno Busta
R1 Top Half BU: Monfils

Please let me know if I miss something :)
