Milos Raonic for day #4

Richard Gasquet

ffs, this schedule screws me

hope Federer at least makes this, though I wouldn't put a Cent on him

hope Federer at least makes this...1.02. Seriously, I will pick nothing, but F u C k I n G pampers for day#5.
The real drama begins.

he was 1.01 SP in Wimbers vs Stakhovsky

Stako at least had a good serve and grass style of play. How Berlocq could win, I cannot even imagine

Дмитрий Игоревич Турсунов

why is there 3 words for a 2 word name MT

Aaron

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronymic#Russian

In Russia, the patronymic is an official part of the name, used in all official documents, and when addressing somebody both formally and among friends. A Russian will rarely formally address a person named Mikhail simply as 'Mikhail', but rather as 'Mikhail' followed by his patronymic (i.e. 'Mikhail Nikolayevich' or 'Mikhail Sergeyevich' etc.).

Dmitrij, son of Igor >  Дмитрий Игоревич

Just don't worry. It is normal

mcnroe said Nadal is a fav. That is why the bookies change it.

DNFM was on Djoker, not on Haas on day 5

Roger Federer for Monday.

Sorry mate. Completely forgot about Saturday (was busy). I remembered earlier then the forums wouldnt work. So i couldnt ask to say 2 for today. Now only Djokovic is left so can't even say two.

Day 8: David Ferrer

it's getting even more tactical, Nadull

not worse than 2nd, this can be over even today with 1 or 3 joint winners

As a seething Tipsy backer I can say MT was pretty lucky

it's obvious, Berdy

aaronh, what happens when on a certain day

- one suicide pool competitior cannot make a pick (since he has already 'used' all remaining players scheduled for said day) thus losing by default even before the round starts(?),
- the other competitor can make a pick, but the selected player later loses?

Who is the winner - both or the second competitor?

i would say both

for the reason that you would both be out on the same day

I would argue the person who had a player left to pick should win. He played the shrewder tournament and used superior strategy. When you hav no players left to pick, you lose on the spot imo.

hmm

Because you should be strategising your picks so that you have a player to pick on each day of the whole tournament. I wonder what others think?

true

it is really wise words. agreed

respect for both guys left
And mouse trap with pretty impressive record(Tursunov, Donskoy,Hewitt, Ferrer)

i'll have to add in this rule for next time

Thought I had this one to be honest, but was never confident in picking Federer.

As for the rules, I think it doesnt matter if you have a possible pick or not, what matters is how many wins you get.

GL both remaining!

No benefit for being experimental here.

Day 9: Tomas Berdych

you'll probably win it anyway, if we don't finish on equal terms today my pick for Wed must be Gasgay, would have preferred to have Raonic at this stage

since you've picked same player gives me another day to figure what i can do 

I think we are much closer than the odds suggest to joint finish today alerady aaronh
At the same time, I think it would be against the spirit of the competition to go with Novak or Andy at this stage...
