Rafa or Gasquet vs Djokovic or Murray (this one is hard.  I think I'll wait until these are finished, then I'll come back and post my winner)

Simon vs Kiefer (Simon has to run out of gas eventually, right? :whistle:)

I'd use tactics if it was going to help me win. I often try to anticipate what picks others will go with  :))

It clicked as well Sid that you haven't even gone with your man Murray  :whistle:

I hate not picking Andy,how can i pick him if i dont think he will win.You can not let your heart rule your head in pick ems :(

Have confidence and complete belief in your man at all times Sid  ;-()

Lol I think you're just waiting for me to do my picks so you can see the field :)~ I believe I'm the only one other than BGT to pick my man Andy over Djokovic :)) That helped me in the leaderboard a bit.

Rafa vs Murray (for the Championship)
Simon vs Kiefer
Nestor/Zimonjic vs Dlouhy/Paes

Since I'll be around the whole weekend, if after semis you 3 are still close, you can PM your final matches (singles and doubles) picks if you wish

Yeah, he's performed extremely well thus far, and if he can beat Djokovic, probably his toughest opponent, I don't see why he can't beat Nadal. I think he has a good chance at winning the Masters, and if he beats Nadal, that'll be good for us on here and on the interboard, as it means Nadal pickers won't pull ahead too much. I was one of the only 2 people (BGT too) that had Murray beating Djokovic, and it really payed off!

By the way Borovnia, just to check. Somil had 23 coming into the round, and he got Kiefer and Nestor/Zimonjic right, so shouldn't he be on 31 not 27?
