    Australian Open 2019 - Men's Singles

    Entry fee is 10 POINTS paid to me. The draw is on Thursday January 10th at 6pm local time and the first round starts on Monday January 14th at 11:00am local time. You'll have until that time to enter your bracket for the entire tournament. Keep in mind that you'll be choosing the winner of each match from the first round until the final before the first match goes off so leave yourself some time for deciding your picks.

    Entries will only be accepted via the Tennis Channel so that all of us can keep track of where we're at without having to worry about time differences.

    You can now pre-register here

    I have created a private contest for us but you'll need to separately register for the main contest if you want to be eligible for that one also. If you have to use a name different to your username here for whatever reason, please send me a PM so I know who to match up with who!

    As for scoring we'll use the Tennis Channel's to make it as simple as possible:
    First Round correct picks receive 1 point(s)
    Second Round correct picks receive 2 point(s)
    Third Round correct picks receive 3 point(s)
    Fourth Round correct picks receive 5 point(s)
    Quarterfinals correct picks receive 10 point(s)
    Semifinals correct picks receive 20 point(s)
    Finals correct picks receive 30 point(s)

    Finally, the prizes have been generously donated by SBR and again the top 10 will be paid!
    1st place - 2500 Betpoints
    2nd place - 2000 Betpoints
    3rd - 1500
    4th - 1000
    5th - 750
    6th to 10th - 300
    Good luck everyone and if you have any questions let me know!

    What a disaster! Raonic vs Kyrgios first round! There goes another one cinci but at least I'm Canadian so I guess Nick will just have to suffer yet again

    Tomic vs Cilic first round

    Duckworth vs Nadal

    And our supposed brightest hope De Minaur...if he gets through he faces Nadal in the third round

    No hometown lovin' here. Ciao ciao Aussies

    Duckworth hitting the ball hard, looking decent last few weeks, can take a set against this Nadal, need to see the odds for handicap +2.5 sets here.

    Alex De Minaur can beat Rafa Nadal IMO.

    I would love to see Alex wins but the problem is that every time an Aussie even just has a glimpse of doing something fantastic the media go crazy and overhype it to the point that the pressure is too much for the player to take. Time and time again it happens and the old pro just sits back while the crowd goes crazy and eventually the other player knocks themself out of the match. I would love to be wrong this time though!

    I lived in Australia before (2 years **** best years of my life), Aussie media support their players like crazy, but I think the players take the pressure quite well compared to French players for instance, I heard it is crazy in Japan, people think Nishikori is the favorite in every match he plays
