Welcome to the 10th event of the 2018 WTA Sudden Death League season: ROLAND GARROS

Play starts on Sunday 27th May

WTA SDL SHEET IS HERE - RACE 2018 & RANKINGS


Rules of the game:

1. It's a knock out-system: if the player you picked wins, you're through to the next round. If she loses, you're out.

2. 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.

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

4. 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

5. As you cannot win a match by a walkover it is highly advised that you make a back-up pick to your main pick. Your pick and back up cannot be from the same match. If so, back up will be invalidated.

6. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If she retires before the match, your back-up pick will be used unless you change your pick before your back up match begins.

7. 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.

Round 1 is played over 3 days Sunday to Tuesday which is a pain but back to regular GS schedule for Round 2.

I hate the way they schedule the first round. It ends up seeming a jumbled mess. Half of us will probably have our 2nd round pick playing before the first round it done. Heck I remember one year here I think I had to pick 3 different people who all ended up playing the same day because the schedule combined with the weather made it a mess.

Anyway....Im in. I bombed last year so no where to go but up
 
R1 Top: Sharapova
BU: Barty

R1 Bottom: Kontaveit
BU: Sakkari
 
R1-top: Witthoft
Bu: Townsend

R1-bottom: Sakkari

Ostapenko channeling Anastasia Myskina and going out day 1 at the French as defending champ and taking several with her....yikes..

Well her ranking is about to TANK
 
Oh Ostapenkoflop ....

A couple of years ago I would have been gutted. Now, cest la vie.....

I've long stopped female professional tennis players to be.... err..... professional
