If it makes you feel better, I didn't have much time, so I copied and pasted someone then changed a few things...

 

[El Dude]

Would that someone be me, Riotbeard?

Kieran, you still have Federer down twice.

 

[El Dude]

I added this note to the rules to clarify something:


*NOTE: While you can slot a player in two spots, there is really no point to it and you're essentially wasting a slot. I will try to watch any "double-booking" but if I don't before the tournament begins, I'll simply disqualify the lower pick. For example, if you pick a player for both the Dark Horse and Quarterfinal then the QF pick is lost as the DH can only equal or surpass it in terms of points.

Changed again to reflect El Dudes wise reprimand. Thanks for that - Federer is now only in it once...

Winner: Andy
Finalist: Nishikori
SFs : Rafa, Novak
QFs: Berdych, Monfils, Stan, Coric

WildCard: Dimitrov
Dark Horse: Roger Federer

They are all wishful thinking though

If i have to go with my head, novak will be winner and rafa finalist. But i will go with my heart this time.

I also really want Andy to do well this year in AO. From 2010 AO onwards, the only guys he lost here are novak and federer. Even last year, he still managed to get to qf not long after surgery.

I agree,if Rafa dosent win it I would love for Murray to win his first AO title,I have attended the AO where Murray has been the finalist,he has the game to finally win on this surface.I also think this year will be a 'make it or break it year' for Murray.I gave him a pass in 2014,due to his back surgery.

Nope, you'll have to keep guessing.

My picks:

Winner: Djokovic
Finalist: Nadal
Semifinalists: Nishikori, Murray
Quarter-finalists: Raonic, Ferrer, Berdych, and Federer

I changed my dark horse because Del Potro just withdraw from the tournament a few minutes ago.
