ATP Sudden Death League 2010: French Open

[Speranza]

Watson: I assume so Augustus, but can't log onto the F O site to confirm, hence me asking here.

Assuming Youzhny completes his win, we're picking Ferrero for today. Assuming the match hasn't started...

My pick is David Ferrer, NOT Ferrero.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Day 7: David Ferrer.

Fixed it for ya

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Thanks, man.

----

If Ferrero loses today, I'm throwing a party. :lol:

 

[Augustus]

Thanks, man.

----

If Ferrero loses today, I'm throwing a party. :lol:

Looks like Ferrer might get smoked today! :lol:

Hahahaha, God I'm so funny.

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

Looks like Ferrer might get smoked today! :lol:

Hahahaha, God I'm so funny.

hhaha, thats funny. Ferrer got SMOKED indeed!


time to up your game djoko!

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Bye guys. Mentally weak quiet guy let me down...

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

ginepri is no slouch this tournament

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Both Ferrer and Ferrero are out. I'm a happy man.

Should've taken Djokovic, but I thought to myself that I keep him for the next round. Stupid.

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

:lol: only 5 players left? Is anyone going win this at all?

 

[bezs]

Lots of people got sucker punched today.

 

[Tennis_Maestro]

Completely unfair.

Ginepri hadn't won a single game on clay before the French for a ridiculous amount of time. He's 98th in the World and somehow manages to overcome Ferrero? a former French Open champion?

Unjustice, complete unjustice, should still be in this event, ffs.

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

Lots of people got sucker punched today.

Someone should throw a party. :lol:

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Someone should throw a party. :lol:

Unnecessary... I'm rather dissappointed today. It seemed like one of those days where every upset should've happend, but only half of them did.

Crappy day.

 

[plum556]

Good luck to the remaining players.

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

Good luck to the remaining players.

Thx. We gonna need it. Not as easy as it seems.

[Maestro Nalbandian]

[Telepatic]

I was thinking about choosing either Djokovic or Bellucci, so I could finally decide to go with Roddick.. lol

Good luck to remaining 5 players

 

[woodrow1029]

[T1000]

[PSNELKE]

@Augustus Could you please make the threads for Queens and Halle to get as many participants as possible.

 

[kaleidoskope]

@Augustus Could you please make the threads for Queens and Halle to get as many participants as possible.

YEAH, YEAH! I want in those 2 so I can lose early too! I'm playing for the first place...counting from the bottom!

 

[Speranza]

Holmes: Yes, our mistake was made with Sir Ferrero also.

As ever, the good Doctor and myself aren't able to post over the Friday period (well, if so, rarely) due to Speranza's work commitments. However, we'd like to take the opportunity to say thanks for organizing this to Augustus, DjokovicGonsalez and the gang - very much appreciated. Good luck to those who remain!

Oh, and had we have stuck to our original decision for the 3rd round day 2, we'd have won, as our predictions for the remaining sections were/are: Berdych (instead of Sir Ferrero), Soderling in round 16, Djokovic in quarter finals, Sir Nadal in semis (yes, Sir Nadal) and Sir Federer to win.

Watson: How upset we will be if we'd have made it through having stuck to Sir Berdych after all.

 

[woodrow1029]

Quarterfinal Pick: Thomas Berdych

 

[T1000]

Gonna go with Berdych for the Qfs

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

qf: berdych will win unless he chokes

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

qf: berdych will win unless he chokes

although saying that, djokovic is the qf pick

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

What the hell, QF: Berdych!

Although I'd be more comfortable picking Nadal or Fed and be safely into the final. Playing it safe and making the final, or gamble on Berdych and win the whole thing?

Younzhy has made a slam semi before but Berdych might choke!

 

[Locotus]

What the hell, QF: Berdych!

Too bad you picked Berdych in the first round. Guess you'll have to do it my way.

Although I'd be more comfortable picking Nadal or Fed and be safely into the final. Playing it safe and making the final, or gamble on ..... and win the whole thing?

I was making the same considerations.
QF: Youzhny

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

Too bad you picked Berdych in the first round. Guess you'll have to do it my way.



I was making the same considerations.
QF: Youzhny

Damn, didn't realise that. Guess I will play it safe then. If Youzhny wins, you win.

 

[PSNELKE]

Still 3 players in... theroleftunderdog, woodrow1029 and T1000..
Wow these guys could make a huge jump to the top if they win this.. Although they already earned a lot of points making it to the SF..
Furthermore good luck to you guys

Hey, I'm not out yet. Haven't made my pick for quarters.

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

Damn, didn't realise that. Guess I will play it safe then. If Youzhny wins, you win.

I was talking to Locotus in this since he picked Younzhny.

Notice how my previous post said "I'd be more comfortable picking Nadal or Fed and be safely into the final. Playing it safe and making the final, or gamble on Berdych and win the whole thing?"

I was planning to play it safe and pick Nadal (as my last pick).

So Nadal it is.

QF: Nadal

QF: Nadal

Though safe, you still won't make the final :twisted:

But at least you beat me. Murray screwed my game plan by beating Berdych...

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

I know. and The Sod screwed my plan, I was banking on Fed so I could at least make the final....:evil:

 

[PSNELKE]

Hey, I'm not out yet. Haven't made my pick for quarters.

Sorry my bad...
Of course you´re still in.

 

[Maestro Nalbandian]

Sorry my bad...
Of course you´re still in.

Just one last pick though. Apparently 5 of my last 7 picks are still in the tournament!

 

[Telepatic]

Guys, pick Almagro, I got good feel ;D

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

mugro doesn't stand a chance

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

chokovic is going to blow a two set and a break lead
