Zverev, Brands, and Johnson were almost like shooting fish in a barrel based on previous head to heads.

Fog was 2-1 h2h over Mischa from 5+ years ago. That was not easy to predict.

Fog was 2-1 h2h over Mischa from 5+ years ago. That was not easy to predict.

Zverev straight sets in 2007 on hard courts (only previous hard court encounter.) The power of head to head. Zverev loved the Fog ball today.

Zverev vs. RBA. That is a hard one. Zverev in three sets (best of 3) over RBA at 2013 French Open qualifier final.

Keeping an eye on the competition. RainingAces shows 8 and 4 in rankings, but standings tab shows 13 picks made. I don't think RainingAces has caught on that one of his picks was left open because it was made too late. So please take a look and correct the rankings and you might want to reply to RainingAce's last picks to make sure he knows he has three picks left and not just two. I don't want this to end without RainingAces having a fair shot. (It's also harder for my own picks with this uncertainty.)

You have an extra pick remaining as your last Zverev pick never counted (match had already started).

That was my pick and a very obvious one, if the match was 5 minutes old wtf should that matter. I am not making another pick.

Sorry you feel that way but those are the rules from day one (and that goes back 105 other PPL tourneys). We've not counted picks for people who have made them two minutes, save five, after a match started in the past. I put enough time in to run this game that I'm not changing the rules when someone's unhappy or disagrees with them.
