Welp, Makarova/Vesnina stuck it in me.


Last pick:

Doubles SF: Chan/Hingis


#1 in the race is cool though.

 

[spystud]

Hell, apparently I can't read. Chan/Hingis haven't even played yet. There's the kiss of death.

Dubs SF: Hradecka/Siniakova

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Dubs SF: Hradecka/Siniakova
BU: Hingis/Chan

Leaves me the top half winner for the final

Excellent play of not using Hradecka/Siniakova and top half! I already used Hrad/Siniakova but Barty/Delacqua playing well also.
It's a toss up but Chan/Hingis hopefully got this!

Don't want to risk it with Barty/Delacqua?

EDIT: Just seen you already used them

 

[PDJ]

I have a pair each side of the draw, but stumped which one to pick???

 

[Boozyuzi]

SF: Mattek-Sands/Safarova

I took a risk when I picked Schiavone/Flipkens in round 3 to hopefully end up in this position...doesn't mean I'll win though

Sf: Hradecka/Siniakova

 

[PDJ]

SF: Barty/Delacqua

[spystud]

Barty/Dellacqua knocked out Hradecka/Siniakova, leaving three...

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Barty/Dellacqua knocked out Hradecka/Siniakova, leaving three...

Barty/Dellacqua need to lost in final in order Me or @PDJ win Dubs.

 

[spystud]

BMS/Lucie beat Chan/Hingis, only PDJ can win now.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Oh well, good luck PDJ. Such a shame Chan hasn't yet win a slam.

 

[PDJ]

I've been so wrapped up in British Election Results (yayyyyyyy) that I'd completely forgotten about this.
It's a good day

You still in Paris?

 

[PDJ]

You still in Paris?

No, Lyon.

 

[boredone3456]

Well I played the strategy perfectly, I just made the wrong pick in the QF....ah well...am I still somehow number 1? At least I last longer than Kerber

Best of luck @PDJ

Thank you.
It's a win/win. I'd be over the moon to win, but so happy for the Australians to take the title.

 

[PDJ]

Final (really, I wrote FINAL ):
Mattek-Sands/Safarova

 

[spystud]

We have a winner!

 

[PDJ]

We have a winner!

They won? I have friends here so I've seen nothing?

 

[spystud]

Yep, rolled 'em up in straights.

 

[PDJ]

Yep, rolled 'em up in straights.

Thank you. And congratulations to @Vanhool who went the furthest in the singles (who knew!)
Cheers for organising @Boozyuzi

 

[Boozyuzi]

All rankings etc up to date..

Congrats again to @PDJ on win number 4.

@spystud moves to number 1 in the Race and is up to career high number 3 in the Rankings.

@boredone3456 is still number 1 in the Rankings and is closing in on a year a number 1 - will he make it ??

@bezs hold onto number 1 in the Doubles series, only 3 events to go - we wll possibly have a doubles Year End Championship if the format suits.

Next is up is Eastbourne..

 

[boredone3456]

I doubt I will make it to 52 weeks unless I have a major uptake in form in the grass season. I'd defending just shy of 1000 points there...I think @Aussie Darcy will overtake me by the end of Wimbledon unless I get lucky or have a dream run. However stranger things have happened, I thought I would have lost it after the french and I somehow have a bigger lead, but the race tells the tell I am getting creamed haha.

 

[bezs]

Wait what I'm leading in the doubles how did that happen. Haha

 

[PDJ]

Because the SDL points for winning a tournament are meager compared to the actual event. I didn't realise it was such a massive discrepancy: SDL, 400. WTA, 2000.
Appreciate it's less rounds, but.....

We can look at that next year as perhaps the doubles need more points.

 

[boredone3456]

We can look at that next year as perhaps the doubles need more points.

depending on how much time I have next year I may have some time where I can help run some of the things in this game and help with spreadsheets. Maybe we can discuss the idea of a separate doubles league and doubles rankings if there is any interest and I have the time to do it, with revised increased points.
