RG Qualifying Tennis Hipster Challenge

Cool

Indeed.

one half with quality players and one with pretenders.


I'd actually take Ons over the 4 in the top half. Have a feeling she's about to become briefly imperious.

I'll give it a go if I remember to log in on time, currently in the top 10 on draw challenge for Rome, could finish 1st from over 600 brackets, near bottom in the wta, the lord gives with one hand, takes with the other.

Draws are out!
Predict the 16 players to make it through qualifying.
1 pt if you pick the highest seed in the section and he/she makes it, 1.25 pt if you pick someone who isn't the highest seed and he/she makes it.
Draws are here, if links don't work just look on the RG website.
shorturl.at/gntxQ (women)
shorturl.at/btF25 (men)
if someone wants to just predict men's or just women's, that works. You don't have to do both.
Some have already posted their picks in the megathreads, I'll post all entries here after deadline.
Deadline is 10 am UKT tomorrow (May 16th).

Victoria (whatever her surname will be) the only player to get six picks.
Hopefully not the ultimate jinx for Q1!!

Going into the final round 1 have 5 left on the men's side and 5 on the women's side.

Going into the final round I have 5 left on the women's side and 4 on the men's side.

I think there's four of us on 5 in the women's. Wisewords is on 9 so he'd have to have a final day shocker to lose.

2) Jm 3.25 (Bara, Vekic, Noskova
