Thought I'd do a competition which is easy to run at short notice if anyone is interested and a suicide pool is easy to run

If anyone doesn't know how a suicide pool works, you pick a player a day to win. If they lose you are out, and you can only pick a player once throughout, so doing something like picking Serena or Nadal first round is for mugs Wink

Order of play for Day 1 is as follows...

http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/schedule/p_schedule6.pdf

My pick is...

Kevin Anderson

I'm pretty sure everyone picked Nadal->Djokovic rather than Djokovic->Nadal so that they could have an outside chance of winning the tourney because they would have expected most to pick Nadal for the semi. However, it seems everyone had the same thought of trying to go against the herd ... until the herd was just n88 being boring Silly
