Topic: Paris Pick 'em Competition

[Somil]

David Nalbandian
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Tomas Berdych
James Blake
Murray/Vizner
Clement/Llodra

All my picks are probably going to be wrong but I'm just going with the players I want to win

You're not looking too bad right now...

Ahh we should be used to it by now, Somil loves to use reverse phychology 

Well, I did actually only pick the players who I wanted to win who were probably not favourites but it worked out 

You certainly did Somil, so fair play to you, and I say good job

Murray and Vizner may have let down my full house, and we still got Bedbrain to go I wish Roddick - Simon was a pick because I would have picked Roddick for that.

I think I'd have gone with Roddick there too after his excellent performance over Lopez the other day.
We both need a berdbrain win there 
Kohli let me down, he played so well over Ferrer whereas Blake struggled in his first match 
Coetzee/Moodie have done me a big favour beating Murray and Vizner.

You need Davydenko in the interboard though, and seeing you've already got number 1 in pick ems, you probably would rather Davydenko win?

You know my picks better than I do 
Yeah suppose since I have the number 1 all sewn up over here it'll be better for me to get Davydenko for the Interboard. Although today in the Interboard has kind of knocked the wind out of my sails for that ranking. But we'll keep going until the very end

[Chris1987]

If I had played round one, I'd be far ahead.

But look at it the positive way BGT. At only 1 point per match for a win there you missed the best round.

[Chris1987]

Andy Murray
Rafael Nadal- This one was tough with how Davy is going right now.
Roger Federer
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Jonas Bjorkman/Kevin Ulleytt
Jeff Coetzee/Wesley Moodie

Roger Federer
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Jonas Bjorkman/Kevin Ulleytt
Jeff Coetzee/Wesley Moodie

I also found this pick hard with how Davydenko is playing right now.

[Chris1987]

Unfortunately 2 of our picks for this round will become invaild after Fed's withdrawal before the match with Blake and Nadal pulling out of the doubles before the match. So tomorrow we will have to have all matches as picks.

[Chris1987]

Take note at how quick I am with this leaderboard this week  its a miracle to be honest with everything else going on right now

Bjorkman/Ullyett if the other pair win though.

Been so busy with other stuff, haven't even seen or commented on the matches today! I'll give my input tomorrow morning 

[Dallas]

I'm through with this tournament!  Roger had to retire the FIRST time in his entire career!  Over 700 matches played and he had to retire!

I just hope he'll be ok for the Year end.   Oh well... I wasn't doing that great in this game any how!

Boy Dallas, try imagining what its like to have your idol/absolute favorite, whatever you want to call them, out since the end of July. In the process missing the whole US Open Series, the Olympics, the US Open and the YEC

Nalbandian
James
Coetzee/Moodie
Arnaud Clement/Michael Llodra if they win, if not, then Jonas Bjorkman/Kevin Ullyett
