I know Berdych usually doesn't go very far in an RG draw, but if I can pick Potito for my WC, I thought I'd push the envelop a little further with Tomas. :snigger

Not like I believe much of this will unfold, but I thought I'd change it up...

 

[El Dude]

So here's my question. I switched the winner from Rafa to Novak - will Kieran "unlike" my prediction post?

Of course I could switch back...I'm really torn.

 

[Kieran]

It depends on how much you like your "likes..."

I'm going to do my picks, but I've already spent the morning setting up the Tennis Channel Challenges (do play.) What's my deadline?

Technically there isn't a deadline - there's just a penalty if you pick after the start of the tournament. I think it is -3 per day, but you'd have to double-check the rules.

But doesn't the Round of 128 begin tomorrow?

I've edited the original post by putting those folks who have entered their predictions in bold. Come on folks, only five people from the Australian Open! I'm glad to see six new contestants (given 9 points as default), but we need more veterans!

For everyone who has Nishi as their DH choice, I am curious as to the reasoning behind it. His body broke down in Madrid. Here, he will be playing best of fives over two weeks.
