Australian Open Prediction Competition

fecking hell, Desert Eagle
what made you go for that?
 
Never liked Kuznetsova. Overated. Also I remembered the Pole beating Sharapova at the last slam so felt she was a good pick. Also made good money betting against Roddick. Didn't pick against him in the list though.
 
Blake with an amazing comeback vs Grosjean and Fernando Gonzalez looks like he will be out of the tournament soon. Hewitt and Baghdatis should be a classic.
 
Desert belongs to the same mob as Davydenko and Kuznetsova.

Some uncompleted 3rd round games to be played tomorrow, so still points outstanding from that round. You need to get the following predictions in before 11.59GMT tonight, i.e 6 hours from now. Remember, 4th round games score 2pts each. DON'T QUOTE THE FIXTURES, COPY AND PASTE INTO A NEW REPLY makes it easier for me when working out the scores:

Hmm, I'll allow it because Tsonga and Gasquet are level one set all, Nieminen won his game as you incorrectly predicted (as did I dammit) and Sharapova has only just got underway. Henin won too, but everyone went with that

And of course because you're a nice chap :)
 
Gasquet v Tsonga is quite a battle at the moment.

But I would prefer they switch over to the Sharapova/Dementieva game

thank you very much, I didn't even know that the tennis was on at the minute.

I left at 17.53 and you're thread was at 18.01

just home there, so thank you very much

Anticipating I would go to bed a couple of hours ago, I haven't switched the TV on. I assume you're on Eurosport? Is frustrating, I like to be able to choose my match with the red button, you can't on there though. They throw you about from one match to the next, not entirely sure I've seen one full tie completed in its entireity yet :rolleyes:

No, not on Eurosport. Watching the Open on Sky Sports. It's good because they don't do what you mention, switching games all over the place (I could only imagine how frustrating that would be).

And it looks like Sharapova is completely whipping Dementieva .

Sky Sports? What channel? I can't see it listed?

3 points for each result this time?

correct 3rd round prediction = 1 point. Each round on, each correct prediction worth +1 point, so predicting the final winner = 5 points

Since Federer, et al are playing 4th round ties.. and final would be 6, right?

No

You were crap at maths back in your school days yes?

2 points for a correct prediction, we're still in the 4th round
