    Sweet. Right in the money if I don't screw up and get too many right.

    I tipped Azarenka to beat Serena. I can pretty much seal last place if that fails.

    Thanks Sharapova for single-handedly killing like 6 of my parlays... f/u Safarova as well for further hurting my bracket.

    has the #28 seed ever been favored over #1?

    serena rolls wozniackl in straight sets a couple rounds from now

    i cant say i watch a lot of women's tennis but wozniacki seems like a pretty harmless #1

    she's never won a major and isn't really considered a serious threat to win one.

    She's ranked high because, like Safina did, she plays in a lot of tournaments.

    Serena doesn't take the sport seriously and rarely plays but she's always favored when he does show up.

    top 3 due to the number of entrants

    Which probably isn't right of me to say but 10-20 is perfect for me. More would be great but from a purely selfish standpoint, it's been excellent.

    You're gonna need Stosur or Kerber to win it all to hang on to third.

    Please confirm SHARI if Serena Williams wins the final it is worth 50 points and an additional 100 points because she is seeded #28?

    Fu#k... forgot about the seed rule. But come on now... this rule surely can't be considered in Serena's case? LOL

    I guess there's been additional +EV in picking Serena that I missed at the time... lol I actually thought I was being smart for leaving her out of the finals, hoping for an upset and gaining an upper hand over the rest of you squares lmao. Suits me right...

    Yes. Gotta love the brainiacs at the WTA with their seeding.

    haha JBT - At least you'll most of Australia on your side. Think it's going to take a minor miracle though but there's always hope!

    You're right, there's always a chance of an injury

    ^ Haha, yeah.

    Since I couldn't win anything here anyway, I was able to root for Stosur more easily. The bets also helped.
