2012 ATP Sudden Death League: Rotterdam

[Tammo]

I like the SDL better now since there are more tourneys. Thanks Kish!

 

[JLyon]

bye bye Lopez and good portion of the field

 

[interjim]

Probably too late... but, Day 1: Dolgopolov .

 

[wrxinsc]

Day 1: Lopez

^

indeed.

 

[Tammo]

Lol, Lopez is the troll today.

 

[wintintu]

No Problem....I prefer lots of Tourneys too.

Lopez is such a troll(10 people smelt)....I almost picked him....JS....nice escape.

 

[wrxinsc]

I must develop an ongoing reference list of the the known trolls.

 

[bezs]

Oh Felicia......

Day 1 Dolgopolov

 

[Tammo]

OOP for Tuesday the 14th

De Voest vs Seppi
Nieminen vs Sijsling
Troicki vs De bakker
Hasse vs Davydenko
Youzhny vs Kunitsyn
Kohlschreiber vs Grannollers

 

[Tammo]

Day 2 Youzhny

 

[kishnabe]

Day 2: Nieminin

 

[lonux]

Day 2: Nieminen

 

[interjim]

Day 2: Granollers.

 

[Leelord337]

Probably too late... but, Day 1: Dolgopolov .

The way dolgopolov plays is incredibly unpredictable. Such a roller coaster of momentum in all of his matches.. One game he will serve 4 aces in a row and another dump 4 easy shots in the net.

Day 2 Youzhny

 

[stringertom]

Judy's crush trolled us well today but it's good to see PHM has recovered from his knee problem. Peace and out!

 

[Leelord337]

Mathieu is playing some good ball in his comeback, took out berrer losing only 4 games in qualys and then schoorel, young hard hitter that's super talented, his win over Lopez was no fluke.

 

[Locotus]

Day 2: Youzhny

I'll be offline a couple of days so if Youzhny wins:
Day 3: Berdych (if he's not playing, make it Delpo)

 

[Rock Strongo]

Again with the procrastination, this time it's an English grammar test I have tomorrow, right after having been in a kitchen from 7 AM till 2PM... But I'm rambling on, give me Davydenko. Also, Sijsling will go through, just throwin' that out there.

 

[Tammo]

Lol Dolgo lost the 2nd set 6-4. He is so unpredictable, I'm never going to pick him even if I'm playing him.

 

[Tammo]

Kubot up a break, look like Dolgo is in the troll mode.

 

[kishnabe]

18 People eliminated....8 People left. The only safe pick was Gasquet of all picks.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Day 2: Nieminen

 

[FedError]

Day 2 Troicki

 

[dcdoorknob]

Day 2: Troicki

(I hate all options for teh record tho)

 

[Marcel Granoller Bar]

May not be such a bad choice for him. Although Rotterdam is obviously double the potential points, he'd be up against a much tougher field. He should be able to at least make the finals in Brazil if not win it (depending on how tough Almagro is), which is 150-250 points. By comparsion, getting to the semis at Rotterdam is 180 and a finals appearance is 300. However, he'd have to contend with the likes of Federer, Berdych, Delpo, Gasquet, Dolgo, Troicki....thus, even getting to the semis and earning 180 points would be far from guaranteed (and getting any further seems highly unlikely).

Mid-summer Brazil vs. mid-winter Holland may have helped his decision a bit too.

...and he plays only 4 matches for 250 points ie. 3 days on the beach and play only on Thursday against weaker players...not a bad deal

Thought about putting a bet on Nieminen, but decided not to risk it.

I just put all my money on Kansas earlier tonight, going at -1 point, which paid off nicely. Gotta learn when to walk away.

Bachinger vs Baghdatis
Rosol vs Berdych
Nieminen vs Kubot
Bogomolov vs Stakhovsky
Llondra vs Del Potro
Beck vs Kohlshereiber

Day 3: Baghdatis

 

[Rock Strongo]

Theme for this SDL round is to fill in what I've done during the day, and I feel so awesome at languages (or at least English), hadn't even opened the grammar book yet did awesome at it (or that's at least until they grade it, but it was ridiculously easy), I was on a radio quiz show though I was 2 correct answers from moving to the Friday final AND IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!!

EDIT: Forgot a pick, Mathieu, why not?

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Day 3: Baggy

 

[Tammo]

Um, it says Petschner is playing Beck instead of Kohlschreiber. The OOP said Kohls. Which one is wrong?

Kohlschreber played Granollers yesterday. It's Beck v. Petzchner.

 

[Tammo]

So I'm stuck with Petschner?

EDIT: If I'm allowed to change then I'll take Davydenko.

your allowed to change if the first match you picked hasn't started and the match you are about to pick isn't started.

I think it was my fault since Kohl and Petz are both Germans.
So if the match started I will still allow the change cause I made the mistake. Petz lost by the way....so good timing.

Ok, thanks. I was confused as well. So I'll take Davydenko.
