ATP Sudden Death League 2011: Rome

aldeayeah

G.O.A.T.
Let's quickly forget this week's fiasco...

This tournament's first pick will be for Sunday+Monday.

Scoreboard

The Rules (recent changes highlighted)

1. Every day of the tournament that day's matches will be posted. You 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. Till the quarterfinals, you have to pick one player per day. In the quarters, semis and finals you pick one player per round.

3. During a tournament, you can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you somehow have no players left to pick, you're out as well.

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

5a. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If he retires before the match, you're allowed to change your pick.

5b. If the opponent of the player you picked retires, it counts like a win. However, you can't pick a player whose opponent had already retired from the tournament.


6. If you want to change you pick, make a new post quoting the old pick. Edited posts containing picks will not be taken into account.

Do we choose for tomorrow, Sunday, as Day 1 aldeayeah? Or are we doing the Sunday or Monday choice again.

In, hoping for a lot better week than madrid
Yer wondering if we are doing a combined Sunday/Monday pick for day 1, those are difficult picks for sunday.
 
In, hoping for anoter win.

That wasn't a win!

I'm still pretty pished about Madrid...

Anyway, I'm in and I shall make the weirdest thing I've ever done in my career as a tennis better. That is, pick a big injured Canadian with a massive serve who isn't really suited for the surface but I don't care as I'm tired and have nothing else to do.
Another reminder, no string here.

Day 1: Monaco

And that is probably it for me. I'll be out monday to wednesday, so I won't be able to pick.

If my Day 1 pick today did not count I'll choose Monfils for Day 1.
If it did count I'll wait until Tuesday OOP for Day 2

Watson: I'm back at the helm whilst Holmes does the rounds on the Nards after today's impressive win by Novak. Day 1 pick Tsonga.

Can we make it a third tournament in a row that we go out on the first day?

Make some extra picks by order of preference and we'll count as chosen the first one that's valid for each day.
Ok, I'll try. Seems I'll probably only be back for the Thursday night session, so I'll post picks for Thursday as well. I tried to estimate who is playing who and when, but it'll be a miracle if I'm going to make it to Friday.

Day 2 - Tuesday
Bellucci
Almagro
Gasquet
Anderson

Day 3 - Wednesday
Murray
Ferrer
Soderling
Nadal

Day 4 - Thursday
Ferrer
Murray
Nadal
Federer
Simon
