Indeed. Calculated fib.

I could see doing it only in a situation where it guarantees you a victory. Like 3 years ago when Stan Wawrinka won the French over Novak - I was ahead by more points than the second place person would get by picking Djokovic. So all I had to do was use my last pick for Stanimal and even if he had lost that match I still would have won. :D

This time around I kept 2nd guessing myself. There was a day that I decided to not pick anyone, but then I picked 5 people. All 5 lost. If I had gone with my gut, I could be in a position to do that. As it stands, congrats to @iprestigePro for 1st place.

I remember trying to catch you that year but obviously failed. Been playing this game for so long now!

:( I kind of feel like I talked you out of that one, man I'm sorry. Nobody could see that coming. A guy who was convicted of match-fixing and had never won a slam level match prior to last week. Now he's beaten 3 really good players and consistent players in as many matches... Go figure.

No, I probably would have cancelled it anyway. I nearly kept up the bet that Verdasco would beat Dimitrov, but then I chickened out. The pressure of trying to keep a title, y'know?

But now I'm up for a big move. Even though I think Cilic will lose, mathematically I should make this bet.

Switch from Delpo at 11 points to Cilic at 9.

It's possible for you and George Turner to still catch him, but you'd have to get lucky on an upset or two with your last picks and then hope he doesn't pick to same upset lol. Ceccinato vs Thiem for example, haha.

Unless you canceled a pick earlier that I didn't see, you're at 31 prior to those two picks, so decide which one (if any) you want to go with.

Since you didn't indicate if you wanted to cancel these or which one you wanted to go with, match 125 (the first one you entered) has been your 32nd and final pick.
