    If Clijsters gets through instead of Aza, ttwarrior and Diesel will be 1 and 2 heading into the Final.

    Jeff: Just so you know why the official one looks different to yours - everyone got 10pts for picking a correct semi finalist. You'll get 20pts for each person making the final, 30pts if you pick the final winner. There is only a possible 70pts left.

    Ah cool. I had posted the updated scores before you posted yours so I was confused as to what was going on. But yeah, I definitely love these contests. They've helped me to make some decent money in the first rounds of Slams that I most likely wouldn't have otherwise. Soooooo many matches to try to pay attention to that it's easy just to say f it and focus on the players you know.

    Anytime sweetpea. I hope you come back for my RG contests! This has probably been the most enjoyable set of Slam contests I've run on here in 2yrs for various reasons... mainly because the actual men's tourney kicked ass, the contests helped me pick some great 1st and 2nd round dog winners cash wise and everyone paid up without being hassled. Can't wait for the French! And congrats - not a small feat cashing in both considering these aren't easy contests by any means

    Even tho im a newbie to Tennis betting, its been 20 years since i followed it, i think im hooked. Thank you Shari it was a blast trying to figure out who to take, but i definitly learned to find value in the underdogs in early rounds instead of the big chalk favorites, easy to go 5-3 and be down $$$ if not careful. It was a replay of Azarenka vs. Radwanska a week or two b4 this tournament that made me think she could win it, took Radwanska to go pretty deep also and it worked out for me. In the Tennis Channel bracket i finished 157 (Top3%) out of 4805 players, if my Na Li over Clijsters pick would have hit i might have broke the top 100. Sent you a few thank you points in post # 122, see ya next time.

    Ty for the pts (so unnecessary, but ty darling) but more importantly: EXCELLENT result in the TC bracket - especially the bloody women - and I'm so happy you enjoyed the contest here. I realise the time spent getting an entry together is a bitch - I faced it hardcore this time around with a toddler and 2 jobs. Seriously didn't know wtf I was thinking. In an ideal world it wouldn't be but considering Slams only happen 4 times a year, I can't get too carried away considering SBR already donates a ton of pts compared to the # of entrants. Even if you never enter another of my contests again, or I'm not here to put them on, always look at the supposed no name dogs in the first round of Slams. That's the best advice I can give to anyone. Lines are weakkkkkkkkkkkk then... much sharper as the tourney progresses. As long as you ignore ranking and H2H (which I'm 99.9% books go on considering the sheer # of matches), you can make some big scores for nothing more than a level unit outlay. GL CD... see you at the French hopefully!
