TW Fantasy Tennis - US Open (Match 15)

[jamesblakefan#1]

Hello all, and welcome to the 15th match of our TW Fantasy Tennis season, and final Grand Slam, the US Open! This is the next to last match of the season.


LEAGUE FILE
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ajf9GyLc48StdDU5VUxTclRpbzlPN2xwSDJmTXRkVnc&pli=1#gid=2

The rules are the same as usual - each player will choose one player 1-20, one 21-40, one 41-60, one 61-80, and one 81-100+, based on the current ATP rankings. Please refer to the current ATP rankings when selecting players.
http://www.atpworldtour.com/Rankings/Singles.aspx

Here is the entry list for this event.

Here is the selection order for this match:
1. boredone3456
2. Eternity
3. kishnabe
4. Walenty
5. FEDERERNADAL13
6. wrxinsc
7. purespin
8. jbf#1


As with in the past, each person will have 12 hours to make their picks, if they don't pick in that time then the person behind them in the order may pick. The person who gets skipped can still make their picks whenever, but of course may miss out on a player they want.

And here are the matchups for this match

purespin vs Walenty
FEDERERNADAL13 vs wrxinsc
boredone3456 vs Eternity
kishnabe vs jbf#1

If a player withdraws late from the event, you may replace him with another player from the same range who has not been chosen.

If there are any questions, feel free to post, otherwise, good luck to all!

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this league is already full.

wrxinsc, you're up. If you don't pick before 11:10 AM ET it skips to purespin.

sorry for the late picks, been busy busy busy lately...

 

[wrxinsc]

I had until 1:30am est to pick no?

If not for some reason, than I will take 10 Isner, that was the only we pick we overlapped on.

Yeah, once it skips it goes on to the next in line, and the next, and the next. The person skipped still can pick whenever, but the next person in line (in this case me) is also allowed to pick.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

The great Rosol just lost in qualies - FN13 may want to pick a new player.
