2020 WTA DOUBLES SDL - DOUBLES LEAGUE FILE

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.

Pick 1: Round 1 top

That would be cool. Don’t really need them for any other tourneys.


Best part about having them for Slams is if you get knocked out of singles early you still have something to play.

If people want doubles the slams I can certainly work on that :)

Let’s see if Miss Wozniacki can bring me happiness or let me down one last time:

BU: Mertens

R1 Top: Kenin
BU: E. Alexandrova

R1 bottom: Svitolina
BU: Siegemund
Was that the correct way to change your pick that you quote your earlier post/picks?!
I'm having second thoughts about Svitolina and don't want to drop out once again because of her (I will rather be dropped out by another player for a change... :laughing: ), so:

R1 bottom: A. Pavlyuchenkova
BU: C. Bellis

@HarveyPitnik, with all the rain our Pavs match is now the very last one scheduled on the docket. Highly doubt I’ll be able to catch any of it here in Texas.
