2015 ATP Sudden Death League: Montreal

TopDawg

G.O.A.T.
Welcome to the 2015 edition of the Rogers Cup Masters (Montreal) Sudden Death League.

Rules of the game:

1. Every day of the tournament that day's OOP 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. Prior to the quarterfinals, you have to pick one player per day. In the quarters, semis and finals you pick one player per round.

3. 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.

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

5. NEW RULE - 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

6. Since you can no longer win a match by a walkover it is highly advised that you make a back-up pick to your main pick - when listing your picks make sure you specify which is your back-up.

7. 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.

8. If the opponent of the person you picked withdraws and is replaced by a lucky loser your original pick will stand unless you specifically change it.

9. 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.

Murray, really? I'd throw Fognini and Gulbis on that pick at your own risk.

Especially Fognini in a US Open Series event, after this little incident a few years ago:

Look for my pick and then avoid him at all costs!:(

My recent skid is due to Vesely, GGL, Janowicz and now Haas. I have Stakked the deck in Montreal. Care to dare with me???

There is no safe pick. My crystal ball is telling me Muller may be the safest pick. I try to stay away from matches that involve "home" players. They like to be heroes and play spoiler. I'm just waiting for the green light from the ball.:D

Some really tough picks here, thinking Tomic, Muller, or Stak.

Agreed. Especially since Bester is a good player, and his recent results have earned him a career high ranking. He has an all court game, has no major weaknesses, and could become a regular top 100 player for a while.
