Power Play League #105 - Shanghai 2015

Kudos on the picks this week. Last week I could have won picking upsets the whole week. This week, that strategy has me 0-10. Congratulations on 13-1!
Thank you :)
I went back and checked your picks. Some of them were ridiculous lol.
Obviously I did not pick many 'upsets'. Controlled aggression like Ferrer vs Tomic has paid off.
It would be nice if Simon beats Birdy. :) He has a 7-4 H2H lead over him and defeated him in straights at Wimbledon.
2nd half of the year has not been great for Birdy and Ferrer.

Gnana should have been picking Djoko with some of those last picks to close out the rest of the Power Play field.....

Yeah! I tried to be little too cute. Missed the trick there.
still not bad for a new comer. Should have won this.
 
Are we having 106 for vienna?
It's 500 now!
Hope not! (weak draw) But, a triple play may might be in order with minimum 5 picks from each ATP event (Stockholm, Moscow, & Veinna). A great challenge with many lower ranked players in these tournaments.

Good with spreadsheets, but way to green in this league to help. Would be glad to put up daily matches if spreadsheet guru willing to do the necessary leg work. Others have been commenting that this end of season is special on the ATP. (Easy to understand reasoning behind not doing league this week, but go for it!)
 
Sorry all. I'm going to get the final rankings for this posted soon but I can't run another event between Shanghai and the combined Basel/Valencia.

I have an insanely busy week at work. I'll have event 106 thread posted by end of week and everything set up for BV.

Thanks.
