Can I just say no Vuc's or Nani Nana's were hurt in the prediction Djokovic would lose a set.

It was merely due to a potential injury break. Condolences.
 
Go on then i'll be an optimist for a change. Murray to win.

Can I make one suggestion?

Can the matches for the following day be posted well in advance of the close of business each day? Quite a few folks on here probably only view the caf during work hours.
 
I picked him because Skelter picked him and he seems to know a bit about tennis :lol:

Honestly, my first choice was Canas. I know feck all about either. I watch tennis quite often, but not an avid follower.
 
Diego Junqueira is useless

Canas is actually a decent player. He was in the top 10 a few years back.

:lol: My bad.

To be fair Canas is getting old, 31 now and couldn't even qualify for RG, his favourite! So I went with Junq who I think got to the second round and took a set of Davydenko there.

Oh well. Not a great start.

Fair enough, I thought there was some sort of deadline on it.

Just before the start of play that day I guess

Ruben, choose your picks for the 2nd round at 6pm ish tomorrow, gives everyone a night and a morning to get their next round picks in. Just choose from the games already decided by that point. I'll update the standings when they days games are finished
 
Aye.

Re Junqueira. I reckoned most would pick the same players so I picked him to try and get an advantage. Canas is old, and since they are from the same country I figured that Junqueira maybe "knew" how to play him. Hehe

Brad keeps track of the score Addict. I reckon he`ll edit his first post with the scores when he finishes them.

There is a lot of counting to do though, so we must give him some time

I`ll edit my first post later on tonight with the scores in the picked matches.
 
Yeah that too!

I`ve been in and out of meetings yesterday and today so I haven`t really had time to follow anything.
 
I predict it won't rain....and the new million pound roof will be useless, much to the annoyance of the organizers and the commentators

Here's my picks, hard to go for a shock exit really, was going to go with Santoro cos Kiefer was injured but still.

:rolleyes: Santoro 2 sets and a break up. Don't like this competition so far!!

You can predict a massive upset by putting your faith in Gulbis against Murray. I foresee a five-setter but it could be even worse for the Scot who plays one of the most unpredictable players of the tournament who took two sets to Nadal last year.
 
Feck, Vaidisova's crashed out too!

Probably Stepanek's fault.
