I am hereby retiring as host of this competition due to lack of interest. If anyone wants to take over go ahead.

I would have played this but have basically spent most of the week at the Edinburgh festival.

Brutal scores reflecting some surprises in the qualifying! I would have picked Boulter as well.
Well done to the winners though.

bring this back if some interest picks up. I might post my picks in the weekly megathread for future slams, just for fun

and thanks for running it!
