ATP Sudden Death League 2011: Roland Garros

[JayChu]

Day 6: Gasquet

 

[aldeayeah]

By the way, thanks for keeping track of the picks, JayChu (although by the time I noticed I had already copied most of them on my own! )

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Coming to a theater near your "Mass Exodus" starring Nikolay Davydenko

I knew he was going to **** me. It's a really sad day when Fernando Verdasco, who I hovered over for a while and really seriously though about picking, is a safer pick than Davydenko especially given who they were playing....


Bleh definitely on my don't trust list.


Also, never again go with the ****ing crowd, I saw that like 15 people picked Davy, I should have known better. It seems that when the vast majority of us pick the same guy, he always ****s up and loses like Ljubicic...

 

[Locotus]

Day 6: Federer

 

[woodrow1029]

My Gasquet pick was a risky one. Glad I made it through that one!

Day 7: Soderling

 

[JayChu]

I'm going with another risky pick!

Day 7: Verdasco

Don't screw me over!

 

[woodrow1029]

What do you think is going to happen tonight? Tampa or Boston?

I like Vancouver's chances either way. Boston will be more difficult though.

Day 7: Juan Ignacio Chela

 

[woodrow1029]

Wintintu, I think Chela is probably the safest bet tomorrow out of the non-finals hopefuls. Unfortunately, I already picked him so I needed to pick someone else.

 

[Locotus]

Day 7: Murray

 

[Breaker]

Day 7 Soderking

Chela's already burned me twice this year not falling for that trap again..

Funny thing - Ljubicic moved on this far

I'm pulling for Tampa because I like rooting for the underdog.

But regardless, my choice to win is still going to be the Canucks....even though they aren't my favourite team =(

Round of 16: David Ferrer

 

[Breaker]

R16 Montanes

Be a hero Albert.

Round of 16: David Ferrer

 

[Breaker]

And I hereby declare him Mugtanes..just embarrassing and now Fog's just going to retire in the next round v.v.

 

[aldeayeah]

He'd better play after today's show... even if he only plays a game.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

And I hereby declare him Mugtanes..just embarrassing and now Fog's just going to retire in the next round v.v.

Mugtanes lol.


Yeah I'm thinking Djoker is going to steamroll Fognini on Tuesday. If Fognini even plays the whole match, I'm thinking something like 6-2, 6-1, 6-2.

 

[wintintu]

Will Ferrer come from behind to beat MySon

 

[Locotus]

R16: Soderling

 

[aldeayeah]

Only 1 left...

Deadliest Slam ever

 

[Locotus]

Lone survivor....
The Fognini withdrawal actually narrows it all down to two choices:

the safe route through Nadal & Djoker for 1200 much needed points
or
going all in with Le Monf beating Federer

Gotta give it a thought.

 

[wintintu]

well done locotus - i had my QF, SF, and Final picks all plotted but David Ferrer thwarted me!

Thanks Aldayeah

 

[woodrow1029]

Thanks Aldeayeah.

I tried defending my 2000 from RG last year, but Ferrer couldn't do it!

 

[Locotus]

Heck, he beat Fed the last time they played in Paris.
QF: Monfils

If I don't pick him, and he wins, I'll probably disdain myself all the way to the playoffs

Ballsy. Demential but ballsy.

 

[racket-e]

Does he have to pick one match per day, or one match per round now?

 

[aldeayeah]

One match per round, and he only has 3 players left (Nole, Nadal and Monf, he's picked all of the rest)

On top of that, in QF, he has to pick Nadal or Monfils because Djokovic isn't playing.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Tournament over?

 

[kishnabe]

LOL amazing at least it was a postive after Madrid and Rome!

 

[aldeayeah]

GAME! OVERRR!!!

Next tournament will be Queens, starting around Jun 6th

 

[Locotus]

If I don't pick him, and he wins, I'll probably disdain myself all the way to the playoffs

Can't really claim a major when exiting in the QF but at least I can keep my head up.
Great thx to aldeayeah for organizing this league.

 

[woodrow1029]

Thanks Aldeayeah!
