2015 Slam Challenge! Australian Open Edition

[Front242]

Are there any draw contests out there for real money, perhaps from tennis channel?

I'm tempted to do some betting this AO also. I'm not sure yet if I will 'cos if the missus finds me betting she'll go mental as she hates it but imo easy money can be made on set betting in the early rounds. While some big servers may not win a match, there are many good enough to win a set so pick a favourite to win 3 sets to 1 or an accumulator for a couple of guys with good serves to win a set works well.

Bautista has the same problem as Novak, a stomach virus but he says that he is getting better. I remember when it happened to Rafa two years ego after to have been 7 months out of the courts and a little before the AO.
Please Rafa, stay healthy!!!!!!!!!

 

[El Dude]

Del Potro is out. Oh well.

Edited because I forgot that Fed could be the dark horse, but then I saw Riotbeard's selection and stole from him, basically...

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

Federer really let me down, him and Daveed, the pensioners... :nono

I think Federer let everyone down :snigger

Also, good call on Kyrgios by the way...

 

[Kieran]

Nick and Kei are my aces up the sleeve...

 

[Fiero425]

Nick and Kei are my aces up the sleeve...

Both have all the shots, but need seasoning; brains vapor-lock at the worst possible of times in a match! Right now their only hindrance is their own confidence or "over-confidence!" :angel: :dodgy:

Right now, their only hindrance is reaching the QF, which is still okay for my purposes in the draw...
