I shall be taking the unprecedented step of naming and shaming today's losers as well as heaping glory on the winners... if anyone has a problem with that, feel free to get a sense of humour. ;)

hmmm, i am aexpecting bonus points for supporting Petes body hair the other day :)

:hide:

WOMEN'S:

We all did pretty well on the women's (with two shameful exceptions). Most people got 3 out of the 4 matches right - the one that stumped us all was the Dechy and Safina victory... it was widely expected that Stubbs and Peschke would edge that. Sam, Scolios and Jo all got the winners right, but only Pebs got the exact score :clap: - unfortunately she choked like James Blake on some the other women's predictions which narrowly prevented her getting in the hall of fame.

WINNERS: Jo/Sam - 10 :clap:
RUNNERS UP: MissSF/SB/Fah/Wise/OB - 9

...and today's losers, with a pitiful score of 3, liam and felix. :lmaao:

:yahoo: i didnt think i would get any points, 3 is good :)

Where are our scores? :o

MEN'S:

The men's singles were a bit of a letdown, with everyone expecting closer matches. Everyone that is, except felix, who had plenty of confidence in Djoko and Ferrer and landed maximum points. Most people predicted the correct winners, but the scorelines eluded them. Nearly everyone got Martin to beat the older Leconte in straight sets.

WINNER: (out of 9) Felix - 9 :bow: :clap:
RUNNERS UP: Sam/Viva/Liam - 7

Our two turkeys from the women's made up for their poor performances here.

LOSERS: Pebs/Scolios, with a miserable 2 points. :lmaao:

Not much success with the two mixed matches - we all f*cked up on Nastase and Mandlikova losing to Smith and Smith - probably cos we'd never heard of them. :wacko: Our lovely ladies Jo, scolios, Miss SF and Pebs all went for Mirnyi and Azarenka to win the mixed doubles final, but only Sam and Dark got the right set score. :clap:

Overall scores coming up...

:unsure: ..... :lmaao:

:halo:

have you got a turkey smilie Suzi? :giggle:

:lmaao: :lmaao: :lmaao: :lmaao: :lmaao: :lmaao:

Wise this is sheer cominc genius! :lmaao:

I reckon Wise should take over the predictions comps, he's so much better than me - i'll get my coat - and I can't find the emoticon for that now?

Miserable 2points :lmaao:

well, he'd definitely win them all then wouldn't he???? :P

Only one winner today, dominating proceedings like a peak Pete Sampras and storming to victory by a wide margin, despite the fierce opposition they faced from the lions and lionesses in this incredibly strong predicting era.

Sam - 20 :clap:
MissSF/SB - 15
Jo/Fah/Wise/Viva - 14
OB/Dark/Felix - 12
scolios/Pebs - 11
liam - 10 :lmaao:

So hats off to Sam who won comprehensively. Commiserations to liam who is today's turkey - however, as you can see, apart from Sam we were all very close.

Thanks for taking part all... and don't worry, it'll be back to normal duty tomorrow with SB, and no mocking of the sorry losers. Laters.

hey wheres my bonus points? :admin: :lmaao: :lmaao:

You can have some of Pebs and Jo's points, after their disgraceful mocking of Sampras in the ATP Shirtless thread. I think 5 off each of them sounds fair, what do you think?

don't mess with my :admin:

:whip:

:kpow2:

roflmao roflmao roflmao

There might be actually, I like the idea of today's turkey! :D

Hopefully tomorrow my other glamorous assitant Goran will be present to help me with my figures. I hear his favourite score is 69. ;)

yeah, don't let Wise doing the prize giving at the end whatever you do - he'd probably present me and Pebs with hairy pictures of sampras :cry: you gave me marat last time (subtle hint ;)2 )

Actually I was just thinking of asking him to do the honours! Seriously! roflmao I need someone who can download pictures, I'm nto sure why but on my crap PC they seem to take forever and then it crashes. I used all the emoticons at Wimby from the spam, to the cacti, the beers, the trophies so I need new prizes. :D I got so desperate I gave someone sunglasses B)

I'll do it - i'll be your glamourous assistant! :)

Don't let Wise do it - it'll all go hideously wrong and i'll end up with an evening with Pete Sampras and he'll probably give Marat to Pebs :cry:

Anyway subject to my being free I was thinking of doing a presentation Monday night. :shrug: Maybe folks could agree or disagree so as I can try and do it when most are here. I'm nto gonna be here Monday day though, not till later anyway.

:o

eat that 130mph ace! roflmao

Ooh sounds fun! At least I know I won't be getting the wooden spoon this time! :D

WHAT sorry losers? There's a kind of distinction in only getting two points, isn't there, Pebs :D :giggle:

Oooh you bragger! I'll have to start calling you Sam-pras ;)

You've had some really good days though, you've won before I think. And your mixxed oubles maximum points :bow:

bet if we tried to get just two we'd end up with 20, so it takes skill Scolios :D
