2014 ATP Sudden Death League: Paris

TopDawg

G.O.A.T.
Welcome to the 2014 edition of the Paris-Bercy Sudden Death League.

Rules of the game:

1. Every day of the tournament that day's matches will be posted. You pick one player who you think is going to win. 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. Tournament starts on Monday so we will pick 1 per day.

3. During a tournament, you can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you somehow have no players left to pick, you're out as well.

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

5a. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If he retires before the match, you're allowed to change your pick.

5b. If you would like to make a back-up pick in case a player withdrawals before the match you can post your intended pick and below it post a back-up with something notating that it is your back-up pick only. The back-up pick will only be used if your main pick withdrawals before the match starts.

5c. If the opponent of the player you picked retires, it counts like a win. However, you can't pick a player whose opponent had already retired from the tournament.

6. 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.

Yeah last year was the bloodbath of all bloodbaths. Never seen anything like that and we probably won't ever again.

Last year only 1 player survived the first round (Romeo?)
I remember it well as I was lying 8th in the Race at the time and was the only player that could be caught...

In the Race for the WTF Top 8, TopDawg, Gonzo_Style, and myself have officially clinched the first 3 spots, with the remaining 5 places in theory still up for grabs. The Race for the 8th and final spot in particular is very tight.
