You mean Ferrer won't be beating Nadal in the final of the French Open, break that 16-0 run Rafa has against him on clay, and win his first major?

Not to mention achieving his first career win against Federer. Although that is a bit more likely than beating Nadal. I do think Ferrer has a shot at this all, but not as good as a shot as Nadal, Djokovic, Federer (in that order).

RE: French Open Draw Challenge

I joined. A lot of picking here.... I think this challenge is complementary to El Dude's challenge in the sense that this one is fun for the first few rounds and El Dude's is more about the bigger matches at the end.

 

[El Dude]

Last chance to get your picks in and adjusted - the tournament starts tomorrow!

I'm hoping that everyone thinks both are fun, and not mutually exclusive. Once we're all in though, I think we should discuss the challenges on El Dude's thread. This is just a poster board.

Folks, you only have a few more hours to join. If we get 3-4 more members to join our group, we're in the group pool. Come on...you know you want to!

 

[Moxie]

Time is running out, kids, for those who want to participate.

Anyway, once the challenges are closed, we should discuss them all on this thread, to keep all "challenge" conversations in one place.

Hi all,
For those participating in the "Slam Challenge" pease place your French Open picks here. If you don't know what I'm talking about, or want a refresher on the rules, or want to see the point totals so far, look here.

You can make your picks and change them up until the first match of the tournament (that means qualifiers), which I believe is on May 26. Obviously you'll want to make adjustments or wait until the draw is out.

I'll make mine just to get the party started. Probably will change them as I go along!

W - Rafa Nadal
F - Roger Federer
SF - Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer
Dark Horse - Tomas Berdych
Wildcard - Tommy Haas

Remember, the Dark Horse can't be one of the Big Four (who now, once again, match up with the 1-4 rankings), and the Wildcard can't be in the Top 10.

Hope it's not too late. If so, then for Clemsons and giggles

W - Nadal
F - Berdych(obviously hope I'm wrong but feel he now owns Fed if they were to meet)
SF - Nole, Fed
DH - Tsonga
WC - Almagro

 

[kskate2]

Alright, I'm in (Besides, I'll never hear the end of it from Moxie if I don't).

W - Nadal
F - Berdych
SF - Nole, Fed
DH - Ferrer
WC - Wawrinka
