The Draw is Friday, proceedings begin at 11am.

We have a team of 28 so far (3rd largest on the ladder), although not sure how many will pick. Every little bit counts and it's all good fun, so if you haven't signed up, have a go! If you have signed up then don't forget to pick.

I made my picks on men's and women's. May go back in the morning when the qualifiers are placed. I made some bold picks. Maybe going over with a cup of coffee wouldn't be bad, either.

Done, but have gone for who I want to win rather than what is most likely!

Me too, Mary. Most people pick their favourites.

I always pick my favourites and always end up last. Last time I used my head up to fourth round, and let my preferences talk just after that. It was an epic fall from second to last.

:lulz2:

At least it was epic!!!

 

[Denis]

Done. The WTA one was particularly tough. So many -ova's I felt like I was filling in the same players multiple times.

Picked Novak, but not that confident actually. I see opportunities for Kyrgios Raonic and Murray.

Entered - thanks Britbox -

It feels wrong to predict a loss for a favourite. But workedng through the draw there rre some great matches likely to come up.

 

[mrzz]

How the hell I´m not last? I am getting everything wrong... you people are embarrassing me!

@Mastoor 8th overall after day one, well done!

we also have a backhandpass in our group who is leading the entire pack, who is that?

I am surprised to hear, honestly. I don't even remember my choices. I too noticed many nicks that i don't recognise from the forum.

Backhandpass is a member but doesn't post much. He runs the Draw Challenge website. Some others have names that don't exactly match because they were in use and some others just follow on Twitter rather than use the forum.

I know only people with less than 25 points, but don't worry, I'll join you friends today or tomorrow.

Ugh. This time I used two premises: go with the rankings in general, and for the upsets/low ranked players matches, go with the Australians. The only freaking Australian other than Kyrgyos/Tomic that won was the only one I did not pick.

Hey, Putin, the Australian PM said that your mother has a mustache!

After Day 3:

@Mastoor, @backhandpass and @Denis topping the leaderboard.
