Very poor round there for most of us.Nobody predicted Mahut to win in straight sets. Nobody predicted Baggy to lose at all!! None of us thought Schnyder would win so easily, or that Szavay would lose. Well doneto GS2 for picking Wozniaki to beat Bartoli :ok:
So after day 1 its tour teenage sensation Nevets at the top, but has he got the stamina to stay there all week????

Well done to DJ for the daily win, on what must be the strangest day in predictions contest history :unsure: :yahoo: :yahoo:
Leader AL withdrew, dropping 5 places to 6th. Coincidence that the lovely Ivanovic also withdrew?????
I came only 3 points off the lead even though i missed half of the predictions. I was on the gin the night before and got on the court an hour late :unsure:
Too many upsets to mention, but leader DJ scored a hit rate of less than a third :yikes: but her daily win puts her at the top of the table with in form SB and our Nevets seems to be running out of steam. t least i predicted THAT one right :wacko:

Nevets returns to form to get the daily win with Fah, and gets himself right back into contention :clap:
After a flurry of upsets, this title is wide open and could easily go to any of the top 4.............

Sharapova v Radwanska 2-0
Li v Zvonareva 1-2
Black/Huber v Safarova/Zvonareva 2-0
ATP
Karlovic v Llodra 0-2
Soderling v Simon 2-0
So that's Llod and Sod into the final :D
Kohlschreiber/Youzhny v Aspelin/Knowle 2-0
Tursunov/Berdych v Erlich/Ram 2-1
Interesting day as no one got Zvonereva right, although Lima did predict her to win 2-0. The mens were quite disaterous for most - onyl SB got Soderling winning 2-0 (everyone thought he'd lose) and I don't think anyone picked Llodra. The doubles were a nightmare as both the outsiders won, Al did pick Kohly and Youzhny but wrong score, but biazarrely the man with a crystal ball Lima got btoh these upsets bang on :o :lol: And with that he trashed us all and shot back into contention.

Awful scoring! Most expected 2-0 Sharapova. Only Al got 2-1 Berdych/Tursy on a diffiulct doubles match of non doubles players! No one got Llodra unless they used the 2-0 system, and I must admit I went for it then changed it 2-1 other way and paid the price - GS2 got 2-1 Peschke and Stubbs. :ok:

Soooo close, it was all decided in the finals and in many ways by using the 2-0 system - but he had such a HUGE surge yesterday he thoroughy deserves the title having looked down and out before and he owes the surpise doubles finalists big time - give it up for Liam with 80 points :clap: :clap: :clap: Well done.

Btw folks - HELP!
is it right that Llodra was the favourite ranked 58, and Soderling ranked 59? Just wondered as they obviously affects the result. Th eBBC had it the other way around.

according to the atp rankings:
Llodra has risen 21 places and is now ranked 37. The Sod has risen 17 places and is now ranked 42. By my calculations that means that last week Llodra was 58 and The Sod was 59
