what everyone's outside fancies, for trading purposes ?

I've taken Kyrgios at 70, and Goffin at 230

how fast is oz open? any ideas?

what's the prize?

In last few seasons AO has been the fastest major. I would expect it the same. But fastest major still only = medium pace court. But it's not slow stuff anyway.

Wertheim picked that as his "R1 upset". I assume CoCo is fav though?

upset? he picked vinci to defeat coco?

seeding

I thought that too Caramba, but I did just pick Barthel in my draw.

I have Svitolina making the final, is it time to start again?

My semi's are Muguruza vs Svitolina and Serena vs Radwanska.

fill in the draw not a comp where picking dogs is rewarded so it makes sense to go with the fave.

I have some total mess QF's:

Kerber vs Muguruza
Svitolina vs Venus
Konjuh vs Radwanska
Serena vs Cibulkova

Wonder how many of these happen. And Konjuh owned Radwanska at USO, and should have beaten her at Wimbledon too, so maybe I should have picked her for semi's.

I didn't put much thought in it though. Was just clicking buttons for a rough guide on what I think could happen.

Halep's draw is so good tbh despite the fact I have her flopping. This is a huge chance for her to make another slam run looking at her draw.

The little I saw in Halep's match against Sini (final 3 games or so), it was Sini goating rather than Simona mugging. Simona mugging at a Slam is always a concern of course, but at least this time MLB is on the opposite of the draw

Siniakova could do big things here. I have her upsetting Kuz. Making R4 anyway. That is the right section if you want to make a big run though. The big seeds are most vulnerable in that section.

Remember when everyone of this forum was on the Halep will win  slam bandwagon 3 years ago, don't hear that so much anymore.

Hard to judge someone's mentality until they are tested at that level. Halep looked dead cert to win a grand slam around that time she lost to Sharapova at RG.

The scrapping or complete restructuring of the troublesome, bottom-tier Futures level of tennis events is a likely result of the current inquiry being carried out into the sport's integrity.
There could also be a dramatic reduction in the number of officially world ranked players as tennis tries to root out openings for corruption in the lowest echelon of the professional game.
These are among the expected outcomes from the independent review of match-fixing, which is due to produce an interim report before the main summer season gets underway.

Among the solutions being discussed is the effective abolition of the present Futures system. An idea which has gained plenty of support is to only award ranking points to the winners, or just the finalists, at tournaments whose total prize money can currently be as small as $10,000.
This would have the effect of dramatically slashing the number of world ranked players. Currently there are more than 2,000 on the computer, but that number could reduce to more like 500, a level which comes closer to the proper definition of a professional.
It is hoped that would reduce the attraction of betting on the vast number of smaller tournaments, which have proved so difficult to police. One system that may emerge is that the Futures become more of a required 'passport' to competing in the next tier up of Challenger events, which can offer more generous prize money and be easier to supervise.

Would it do that?

my Destanee pick looking even shrewder now

Wertheim picked her too in seed report.
