Hall of Fame
Welcome to the 23rd event of the 2019 ATP Sudden Death League season:

Citi Open
Washington, DC, USA
Outdoor Hardcourt
July 29 - August 04 2019



RULES (ATP 500 event):

1. 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 have to 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. (Usual caveat with this rule and the consideration of BU applies - as stated in the Monte Carlo and Barcelona threads.)

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.

1 correct pick: 50

Aussie Darcy

Bionic Poster
A near certainty that either Aussie Darcy, PDJ or I Am Finnish will be No.1 after this tournament.
Oh wow where did that come from? Haven't been keeping up but that's exciting to hear! Hopefully i'm not like Kvitova and Radwanska who had many opportunities to become #1 but never got there.

Since RG that the n°1 spot has had a few contenders every tournament. And it seems that we'll keep seeing changes there until the end of the year. Everything's is too tight right now in terms of points.
 

Beacon Hill

Why wouldn't you?

Beacon Hill doesn't have a M1000 or a Slam and is the current n°1. Sometimes is more about being consistent than winning some big events.
Not quite sure how that happened. I've got a lot of 0 pointers and second round losses, so I don't even have much consistency. I've got 5 days left of being No. 1, so I'm trying to get in as much product endorsement as possible this week.
