2017 ATP Sudden Death League: World Tour Finals (NORMAL)

[Aussie Darcy]

Good pick. Had a feeling Sock could pull it off. How many of those who picked him were aware of his 2-0 record over Cilic?
If you win the tournament and I gain no further points, you could finish as high as #3!

Main reason why I picked him! Along with his good form of late.

Don't have much faith in this one:

Day 4: Thiem

 

[RS92]

So if Thiem loses, the 2017 ATP SDL is over for good, because everyone of the top 8 also picked Thiem.

This tournament is certainly done, but there are still technically 3 of us left for the Davis Cup Final (for which we could gain an extra 125 pts)

If there's anyone you can bank on to keep playing, it's Thiem lol.

VAMOOS.

That was again a very tough match.

Day 5: Zverev

BU: Cilic

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I could win a slam and the ATP Finals and still not be in the top 5?

Man i'm more inconsistent than Dominic Thiem and Kristina Mladenovic.

Well, to be fair 4 out of the top 5 all hold at least 1 Slam and at least 1 other title (500 or above), so it's not too bad
At least we can say we have a worthy Number 1

 

[RS92]

I can't remember the last time that I won at least 4 matches in a row in a big tournament before the WTF.

I think it was the French Open, when I lost in the quarterfinals lol.

We've both won exactly the same two titles this year incidentally (AO and Basel)

I should have won Queens as well. But Cilic decided to choke in the championship point that he had

Actually he didn't choke, Lopez played an amazing point there

French Open QF and nothing since? Who are you, Kristina Mladenovic?

In the big tournaments that was my last good performance before the WTF

In the ATP 500 events I lost in the final of Queens, semifinals of Beijing and last month I won the title in Basel.

 

[RS92]

What a choke by Zverev in the last game of the match.

Well done future world number one

Thanks @Krish872007 for running this game once again.

Thanks for coming guys.

Thanks for helping out this season and hard luck today. Still, winning a Slam is always good no?
See you all in 2018!

I’ll write up a season overview post once the Bonus Comp finishes.

 

[Krish872007]

Temporary bump.

Many thanks again to my fellow admins @RS92 and @Boozyuzi for helping run and organise this year's ATP Sudden Death League. Thanks also to all who participated in each tournament - this year was our highest consistent turnout ever, with over 50 participants at every Slam event.

There is the Davis Cup Final coming up this weekend - featuring @Big_Dangerous, @TheMuzziah and myself - which will officially round off the season. Thread has just been bumped for ceremony.

Regarding next season: I'll be reviewing the calendar and will see if we can add/remove any events as appropriate. I'm considering adding Doha if the field looks deep enough, maybe an extra grass event as well.
Also potentially in the works: ATP Doubles Tournaments and some Challenger Tournaments - as suggested by people throughout the season. Would be interested to hear thoughts on these.

If you would like to get involved as an admin and help out with the running of the league, please let me know via PM or by replying to this post!

Thanks again and enjoy the festive season.

Hey Krish! First of all, thanks again for running the game with the help of @RS92 and @Boozyuzi! Amazing job and I had a lot of fun since I started playing this one!

About the updates: I think some Doubles Tournaments would be nice for '18, but I still in doubt about the Challenger Tournaments, would like to hear some more opinions too.

As pointed out before, I'd really appreciate a Career High Ranking kind of tab, weeks at nº1, etc. I know it may be a lot of hard work, so I'm available to help if you need anything about that or about the league in general.

Enjoy a really deserved rest and the festive season as well!

 

[boredone3456]

Id like the idea of doubles...even if its just at the majors and possibly masters. If enough people are into it.

The Challengers though...would it be worth it? How many points would they even get? Seems like they'd have to be worth even less then the 250's and might not be worth the effort.

Id be willing to help out if needed. Ive pitched in here and there in the wta games this year so let me know.

Anyway, thanks for all the hard work. To my fellow posters in the USA, Happy Thanksgiving if you Celebrate.

The CHR thing would be great to have. And we already have the statistics of weeks at number 1 (in the trophy case section).

Thanks both! I'll PM you guys to discuss in more detail following the conclusion of the DC Final

Hey Krish, thanks for organizing this (thanks to the other admins too). Some thoughts:

A big fat no to challengers.I feel like it'd be too much work for too little reward. We struggle enough in the 250s and 500. Doubles is fine especially at the bigger masters like IW and the majors.

I think we should definitely review the list and remove some of the 250s. Doha field looks decent. Maybe we can scrap Estoril and one of those tournaments in Germany?

Look forward to hearing/reading some more suggestions. Hope you're having a nice off-season.

Thanks for your thoughts. Off-season's going great so far, this is an important time of year for us - hope you enjoy the next month off too!

Yeah, agree on the challengers, it would be very tricky to run
Gonna have a discussion with the other admins soon about the Doubles tournies - I'm thinking Slams & IW+Miami at the moment, but will finalise that closer to the time
Will defo look through our calendar
And as luiz_gustavo said, it's a good time to work on compiling some more interesting stats for our records tabs

Yep. I'm trying to stay productive before the new season kicks off. IW and Miami sounds good.Some of the top guys like to play doubles at the beginning of the season. Waiting to see what you guys come up with. Have a good one.
