Is Anderson v Berdych definitely not tomorrow? Betfair has it listed as tomorrow for now, though I can't see it on the Order of Play. Suppose it would be a bit harsh on Berdych to play last tonight then first thing in the morning.

Anderson- Berdych (just in case)

I've just double checked and there is no listing for Anderson - Berdych tomorrow, I've checked on which days Round 3 matches (which this is) have been played in Rome in the past few years and all Round 3 matches have always been played on the same day unlike where round 1 and 2 matches can overlap, not sure why it's listed on Betfair as being scheduled tomorrow.

As far as I understand it, R3's are Thurday's, Qf's are Friday's, Semi's are Saturday and the FInal is on Sunday.

Kk, thanks

I just noticed that Troicki somehow sneaked among my selections for today - he was never invited and the spot always belonged to Gulbis.  Sorry for the trouble, Darren, can you switch them please?  Cheers.

And so the third and final clay court Masters 1000 event goes to......Smb360! Congrats on what is the hardest fought victory of the year so far, just two points seperated first from 2nd. After 6 rounds, it transpires it was Round 2 which was crucial in separating the winner from the runners up spot, the other 5 rounds were parallelled in scores. Smb also finishes the week with the most amount of correct picks of 38, well done on your first title

In 2nd place is our overall Masters 1000 circuit leader, mouse trap, who follows up he's impressive Madrid Masters title last week with his second runners up position of the year after Miami, the mouse finishes the week with 1 less correct pick than Smb with an impressive 37, the drop in altitide from Madrid to Rome clearly hasn't affected his decision making, unlike Kohlshriber still suffering from vetigo A very well done on your consistency.

NEXT STOP: MONTREAL, AUG 5

See you there.

thanks, well done smb, looks like my 31 games was good, shame it was wrong player

^^ since I am above you in the table looks like it didn't count

we're level on 84
