^ The high % idea worked, huh?
:lol:
No worries, I suck too with my super-low % play. I'm pretty confident in my Almagro pick tm though...

Yeah, I'm coming around to the theme: What the Hell???!!!!!!!
LOL!!!
Almagro might actually win. Verdasco could tucker out or simply mental-out. I'm open to that suggestion, sad as that may be!....

I think he hurt himself vs Kohl, wouldn't be shocked with something like 6-2 6-7 (1) 3-0 ret. as he fails to give Mugro time to choke. I need an epic comeback here.

I don't think so. In terms of the mentally of these 2 players, Almagro is weaker in comparison to Verdasco.

Hey, you may get what you're looking for!!!
Nando's grown on me, though, so I'll be crossing my fingers....:neutral:

He's like ungrown on me.
In the bad sportsmanship category, he's ditched cursing himself and racket breaking (which i like) and gone to gamesmanship and cursing the crowd/opponent (which i dont)

Did he do that during his match against Kohlschreiber?
I didn't get to see that match, but I know he did that in the finals of Nice

That's what I was referring to, but I think he did vs Kohl too, yes

I can see why you're starting to root for him less. Verdasco also now drinks from multiple water bottles during changeovers, lines them up perfectly after he's finished drinking and does leg kicking fist pumps after big points......It all sounds and looks so familiar.

On a serious note, he had such a unique personality and now he's kinda blended in except to curse at the crowd. And yes, he's reminding me of Nadal more. notice I included gamesmanship. Melzer is now my favorite lefty

Oh dear, I seem to have counted wrong! Add ALMAGRO and Youzhny. Where does that leave me? I think only 27 
I just can't get to 32. Damn.

Somehow in the thread you skipped from your 20th pick to your 24th pick without anything in between?
I'm going to do the scores then I'll check exactly where you stand with picks - from what I can see you'd be at 28, which means you can make picks 29, 30, and 31 - being 1 short. I'll try to figure this out though.
EDIT: As I was doing the standings I noticed JayChu & rainingaces MUST pick ALL remaining matches to complete the 32 picked. There are 7 matches remaining and both of you have 7 picks left so pick 'em all!

Change that to Federer 29th
I can't do it. First, I don't think Roger will lose even a set. Second, I don't want him to lose. Third, I really REALLY really REALLY want to see him play in a few days.
