Yes, thank you for a reminder BB, I completely forgot about it. I think I missed all grass tournaments leading up to Wimbledon. But the big one is where we all want to shine.

We have time over the weekend, to think and study the draw, H2H and all other factors.

Hi guys, really sorry not to have been very active these last weeks. Brackets predictions are done (and well done ) and I promise to post a bit more during Wimby !

See u later

Bracket predictions done. Roll on tomorrow and fingers crossed no rain!

I picked Thiem to go deep, but he's got a tough first round in Florian Meyer. We'll see what Thiem has in the tank, and what he's made of for going deep in Majors henceforth. I hope I'm right.

Bracket complete! though I have to say that I like more to go match by match and day by day and see how every player is playing :scratch:. Some players have a easy start but others have tougher opponents from the beginning

Same. Thiem is my high risk high reward pick... I've got him going deep too... but with reservations!

Last time around I filled in more wishes than predictions, and ended up next to last. This time I took a bit more time and made actual predictions.

That is, if I end up at the very bottom this time feel free to ignore all my tennis related comments (if you do not this already..)

Pressure is on @mrzz !

 

[Carol]

Who told me to choose Monfils (his first match after to be injured) Gulbis and Coric (another fake promise....)?

:lulz2: Thanks mrzz, that was great. I used to pick with my heart all the time, but then I forced myself to use my head a bit more. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it comes down to just plain ol' luck.

@Lady Elizabeth topping the leaderboard after Day 1.

Well, if it wasn´t for bad luck, I wouldn´t have no luck at all...

The funny thing is, when you pick a guy you don´t like against a player you usually root, and your favorite player wins, you end up disliking him a bit. When you pick your player against your head and he looses, you hate him for losing (again). So I guess that after a few bracket challenges you hate everyone on tour.

Except if you a Djokovic fan. Argh.

 

[Billie]

So far so good, you are #3 right after EdbergsGhost and Bert @mrzz !!

 

[britbox]

@EdbergsGhost , @Bert and @Denis fast out of the traps, followed closely by @mrzz and @Lady Elizabeth

 

[Carol]

I've just checked the ATP Bracket and I see that I'm already down to the basement

Day 4 standings

@Bert and @EdbergsGhost followed by @backhandpass head the leaderboard!

I wouldn't worry too much, these things can change very quickly.

When I was completing my bracket I stopped at the Djokovic and Querrey match and thought... ´hmmm, this is the perfect place for an upset´. I stared at the draw for five seconds, but went for the safe bet in the end.

Anyway, f*ck my bracket: C´mon Querrey!

 

[Moxie]

The one that paused me was DelPo v. Stan. I wanted Juan Martin, but I went "safe." But I don't care that I was wrong. Now Del Potro has a decent chance at a deep run. Go, Juan Martin! I think all of tennis thought that win was sweet today.
