Welcome to the first grass event of the 2017 ATP Sudden Death League season:
Mercedes Cup, Stuttgart
12 - 18 June, 2017
Grass Court
RULES (ATP 250 event):
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. 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. 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.
SCORE FOR TOURNAMENT

raketak is the Defending Champion. Not sure what happened to him, looks like he did a Federer and skipped the entire clay season.
Apologies for taking a bit longer than usual to make the thread, bit of post-RG hangover.

Hope Federer can win this. I'm so bad at these low-level tournaments.
