Sign your name up in this thread if you intend to play.

Ruben will select 8 games per day through the tournament, and all games from the quarter finals onward. A point for correctly predicting who will progress. 2 points for selecting the winner of a quarter final. 3 points for selecting the winner of a semi final. 5 points for selecting the winner of a final

Additionally, each day we'll follow Andy Murray on one side of the draw, and a random player selected each time from the other. 2 points for correctly guessing the score in sets, 2 points for correctly predicting the score of the first set

When you sign up, select your winner of the tournament. 10 points for those who correctly make this prediction from the outset, plus a bonus amount of points which equates to their ranking. So if you predict 3rd seed Murray will win the tournament, you pick up 13 points

I'll keep track of the scores, the winner gets a yet to be determined but no doubt magnificently worthwhile prize

Good luck!

Scores after the Quarter Finals:


Brad - 58 (20)
Giggsy - 54 (20)

I'm in with Djokovic - massive underdog.
 
Federer will surely walk it now that Nadal won't be in it.

The Brits do as you always do - overrate your own.

:lol:

We're overrating nobody this time, Murray has the potential and class to become a major winner in the next year.

He's now the second seed (I doubt its changed from third but) in the tournament, he has to have a chance.
 
I'll play.. and I think the winner will be Federer
 
I'm in, and I think Nadal will win it if he's fit, Feder if he's not.
