forum competition - US Open Tennis - entries, standings, updates...

The lack of any proper televising of these major sporting events is without doubt limiting interest in them.
Having said that, of all the events for which I run a competition, this one always has the fewest participants.

One thing all of you who listed BERTENS as the player with a surname beginning with the letter M have actually chosen MERTENS, it's purely coincidence that I had mentioned a letter b in the detailing of that section. I DID however list the players from which to make your choice.

There's no real point in breaking down the picks and their ramifications with only 24 entrants, you can look for yourselves.
The vague chance of a prize still holds. I'll let you know.

Updates to follow as we progress. any queries etc. This thread please.
