Awwww Linda :hug: but hopefully you had a great holiday! Must admit I panicked when I saw you'd posted on the health and ailments thread - thought maybe you'd broken something! Thankfully not ;)

[AllyB]

And with a Tomic defeat, Pabbers keeps her run going and Jay reverts to type!

[cazza99]

I didn't choose Tomic in the end as his best results have been in Oz and Asia.

[Ace!]

I watched a pre tournament video of Tomic, Cazza, he looked really pumped to do well this week, so i changed my entry and put him down to win.

He did have 2 match points, but he blew it!

when did that happen ?
Last week I think; here's the story (http://tennis.com/articles/templates/ticker.aspx?articleid=16515&zoneid=6) on tennis.com.
This is their first tourney together.
It's on a trial basis and Brad is still going to work for ESPN as well.

Andreev has just taken the first set off Verdasco 7'6

I missed the second set but apparently Davy retired due to a foot injury. It's a shame he's injured again, just when he's starting to play good tennis again.

[AllyB]

Ace! has Davy and Pabbers may have a problem with her PotW!

[Sallydaisy]

MARSEILLE
Quel dommage!!!

Floundering Fish has just lost the first set to a 20yr old French "typewriter" ranked 388.

[AllyB]

TFFT got away with my Dolly pick!

[Sallydaisy]

Fish flailed by Typewriter.

Amazing from the French 20yr old, WR388, he served 23 Aces. 82% first serves in.
Albano Olivetti - one to watch for sure.

[AllyB]

never considered the fact that someone would willingly* choose roddick as POTW

Just got an e-mail back from them - apparently they have tried and failed several times - but they don't consider Pabbers a danger to others.

[Sallydaisy]

Isman was match point down at *4-5, *30-40 in the 2nd set but clung on and is now fighting it out in the tie-breaker. 6'6 with Melzer serving.

[Sallydaisy]

But Melzer got the win.
Is it possible to have a separate chart for complete dunces at this game?

Llodra into the final

Who in their right mind would pick Llodra to get to the final?

[hfwardhouse]

Miss smartypants Cazza - that's who ;)

[cazza99]

:rolling: Well Llodra did win it 2 years ago and was a finalist 3 years ago and lost to the winner in the quarters last year and has the home crowd behind him. :p

edit: I bet Raonic wins Memphis now Isner is out and Jay will overtake.

[pabbers]

Thanks, J !!!

Oh dear..........I've been me again.........Mrs Dippy. I kept wondering why nothing was happening in Buenos Aires, as not many of my guesses had been crossed out.............I've only just this minute realised that where we get our guess right, the player remains uncrossed out even if they don't get past that stage. Oops :shamed: I suppose it's because I'm so used to seeing ALL my guesses crossed out. Mind you Sally had better watch out - can't have people robbing me of me bananas! :lol:

[Katie]

Well done Cazza! :cheer:

Wow, that's seriously impressive - Cazza :worship: :worship:

We should definitely have a bonus for that - presumably that hasn't happened before?!
