G'day!

I am glad to interest you in a new edition of the long-running tennis subforum tradition.

Pick a player each day. If your player wins, you advance to the next day and get to pick again. At the end, glory, lots of forum cred, an entry into the competition's hall of fame awaits the ultimate winner. If your player loses, you are out and eternal shame shall fall upon you. Each player can only be chosen once, so maybe don't pick your favoured finalists on the first two days. Retirement rule change: All picks count if one ball has been played. If your chosen player withdraws before the match, please try to submit a new pick. I understand however that not everybody can monitor this all day long, so if no replacement pick is submitted, the favourite in the match that starts last will be entered automatically.

If matches are rescheduled due to rain, you are not allowed to pick from them for the new day (e.g if Lorenzi-Nakashima is originally scheduled for day 1, but it rains and doesn't start on day 1, starts on day 2 instead...you are not allowed to pick it for day 2. You are however of course allowed to use it as your day 1 pick). If it comes to such a scenario, I will try to point out which matches you are not allowed to pick on the day.

The picks continue every day until only one person is left, everyone has been eliminated, or the tournament has finished.

Picks don't have to be made before all play starts for the day, but it naturally should be made before the relevant match starts.

If multiple people reach the same day, they will share the same spot in the final standings.

I hope that covers everything. If there are any additional questions, feel free to ask. If you have any comments or recommendations regarding rules or rule changes, those are always very welcome.

Back with a mild tan to see Daniela Love playing the WD with Laura 'fifteen mentions of the splitstep per hour' Robson.
So the singles is a relative sideshow. But I will select..

Note for Blencathra:

You picked Harriet Dart for day 1. She was never scheduled for day 1, so that pick can't count for day 1. Since a few matches from Monday were rescheduled for Tuesday, you can make your day 1 pick from those (see list at the bottom of this post) if you wish to. If you want you can also naturally change your Dart pick for day 2. Can also keep it of course.

After day 1:

advanced:

aaronh - Riske
anubis7 - Riske
Journeyman - Li
n88uk - Linette
SamuelMertensBertens - Begu
wisewords - Garcia

delayed because not finished (please submit a day 2 pick if you want to continue)

snowynoon - Zhang

out:
edy - Zidansek
GRANTCKING - Marino
mesmerised - Zidansek
Platini - Haddad Maia

Note regarding day 2:

A few matches originally scheduled for day 1 were cancelled and will be played on day 2. As mentioned in the opening post, you may not choose from them as your day 2 pick. However, at the same time this means an opportunity for anyone who missed Monday and wants to enter. They can choose from those matches as a day 1 pick (if anyone goes this route, please also submit a day 2 pick). The following matches are not eligible to be picked from for day 2. They are eligible for late day 1 picks however:

Sakkari - Hives
Saville - Tomova
Kostyuk - Swan
Zhang - Doi
Dodin - Ostapenko
Wickmayer - Zhu

So much for Cornet playing 3 matches in one day and being knackered..

Well done to N88, adding to your haul.

Thanks Edy for organising. With all the overnight delays you must have felt like quitting in the first 4 days Grin

It is always my pleasure to run these, but really appreciate that you appreciate me running them. Thank you! I had some help with the overnight delays through SaMeBe posting tweets in the big tennis thread with the cancelled matches, so that was really nice from him and helped on that front.

Well, and n88....the undeniable GOAT, for now atleast until I go on a big win streak, strikes again. With I think now 14 crowns you should be seven ahead of the next best active player. Five ahead of the best non-active player - mouse trap.
