[dropshotlikeitshot]

Hoping I can crack top 20 this time

 

[JadeC]

In!

Are notifications working for everyone? For some reason, I didn't get an alert.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Hoping I can crack top 20 this time

In AO I was n 2 out of 19 000 people for a while
I have no idea how this one works though.

 

[Yugram]

I’ll join the party.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

At least not until 10 first round matches have been played.

The winner should get more than just bragging rights, lol.

 

[TheIntrovert]

So my other finalist other than Fed was tsitsipas in The Wimbledon one. Which useless young player should I put my trust in this time?

Medvedev?

What would you suggest? I'm open to ideas.

 

[True Fanerer]

Medvedev?

He's the only consistent one out of the bunch right now.

 

[Sephiroth]

Do I have to create an account with tourneytopia for this or do i just click on "submit your picks now!"? Also how would you know who picked who etc?

 

[TheIntrovert]

Medvedev?

Solid shout. Could also go with Shapo if I’m feeling extra risque

If you're wanting to get started right now, just click on the 1st link and it will ask for email/username. Come back anytime after 4pm Eastern today-Monday 11 AM to fill out bracket. I'm keeping viewing closed until the tournament starts this time. After that we can see everyone's picks.

Lol I also had Tsitsipas in the Wimbledon final. Not making that mistake again.

 

[True Fanerer]

Entry window is open!

Everyone can begin filling out brackets now.

We've got all weekend btw.

Can you give me a link to that Daniel Bryan smiley? I need to save it somewhere.

Chocolate?

[Deleted member 743561]

GOAT ftw, boys.

Occurrence.

Here you go m8

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Here you go m8

Cheers mate.

 

[Third Serve]

I've decided to go for broke with nothing to lose. Anything QF-up is risky, lemme just put that out there. My entire bracket depends on the Diamond Age (someone has to root for the underdogs lol).

 

[True Fanerer]

Coming along pretty well.

13 signed up so far and some entries as well.

Will enter tomorrow after some deliberation.

 

[Lleytonstation]

I swear, if Coric (or anyone drops out) I once again declare corruption and collusion.

Like Fed's section of the draw

Nah, there's a couple guys there..

He has a nice draw and I'm hoping for multiple beatdowns to get his confidence back.

I'll be honest, I like when Fed has a hard draw, much like AO17. The easy ones scare me. But these brackets always suck in the end, because I am picking Fed no matter what my brain tells me... just like WC...

Goffin/Nishikori should be a good test. I feel like the Nishikori match helped him round into form at Wimbledon.

 

[True Fanerer]

Raonic there too.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Raonic there too.

Don't bring him up. I could see... no, I will stop there. Don't bring his name up again.

 

[True Fanerer]

Fed has had his # since 2017 on grass anyway. Think he can handle Milos.

I am leaning towards Querrey making an appearance in my round 3...

I like your thinking or any other scenario with the same ending

 

[Lleytonstation]

I like your thinking or any other scenario with the same ending

I am thinking Querrey has one last moment in tennis, and that is round 2 of the 2019 USO. It's his time... again.

Wawrinka and Med too

 

[Lleytonstation]

Wawrinka and Med too

Wawa has had his go. Med...

 

[James P]

Sure, why not...

 

[True Fanerer]

Sure, why not...

I used to work for an old man with the same name as your username. One of those old men that refuse to die and drive until they're 95. Yeah almost died a couple times riding with him.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Is our group competing against other groups?
Or are we mainly competing against each other?

Getting myself hyped before I make the picks

It's a free for all.

Every man or woman for themselves.

 

[AceSalvo]

The unpredictability of the Next Gen just sux.

Tsitsipas, FAA, Zverev are such a big ? at the moment.
