damn, I made the doubles picks for nothing.

What if we graded it based on those, since we tied?

[EaglesPhan36]

I can do that if you want or we can make some picks for the 1st singles matches on Sunday. Your choice, I'm fine with either.

[yisman]

combine them both I guess.

We can finish it and make it Friday-Sunday contest, and total up the points we each finish with I guess.

[EaglesPhan36]

Let me total the doubles and see where we're at ...

[EaglesPhan36]

You're up on me by 100 after doubles. You had 150, I had 50.

[yisman]

guess I was within 4-5 games of the serbian doubles one?

ok

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah, 4.

[yisman]

So what were your picks for yesterday?

[EaglesPhan36]

So for Sunday, it should be:

Serbia-Argentina
Djokovic v. Del Potro

Spain-France
Nadal-Simon or Tsonga

Confident the Djokovic v. Del Potro match-up will be correct. Thinking Tsonga is going to be subbed in, so if we want want to have two matches to go with on Sunday, I am suggesting that we both pick Nadal v. Simon and Nadal v. Tsonga and I'll use the one that is actually played. Cool? I will post my picks here tonight.

[EaglesPhan36]

So what were your picks for yesterday?

I had Llodra-Tsonga 3-1, 44 games & Zimonjic-Tipsarevic 3-1, 39 games.

I guess technically the Serb one had a substitute in it, but still counted it as I think the most important doubles player was still in and it made little difference who they partnered with him.

[yisman]

ok we'll pick both.

[EaglesPhan36]

Alright. You can just post them here whenever you're ready, just have them on here before 6am ET on Sunday.

[yisman]

I'll post my picks late tonight after I'm done watching football.

flashscore actually lists djokovic/dp as canceled and troicki/dp in its place but they could be wrong.

[EaglesPhan36]

Well Troicki-Del Potro is technically the correct match as it's scheduled. I think that is listed that way due to Djokovic having pulled out of the 1st match. We might as well pick Troicki-Del Potro just in case too.

[EaglesPhan36]

Djokovic over Del Potro 3-1 [41] or Del Potro over Troicki 3-0 [31]
Nadal over Simon 3-0 [23] or Nadal over Tsonga 3-0 [32]

[Gaskan]

huh ... I sent my doubles picks, but as I look at my sent items it's not there. Wonder what happened?

[EaglesPhan36]

Don't know. Never received.

[yisman]

Djokovic over Del Potro (3-1) in 36 games or Del Potro over Troicki (3-0) in 28 games
Nadal over Simon (3-0) in 27 games or Nadal over Tsonga (3-1) in 40 games

Any of the matchups are pretty much mismatches. Of the four, I guess I'd give Tsonga the best chance for the upset, followed by Del Potro over Djokovic.

Guess we're not picking Tipsarevic/Nalbandian

[yisman]

cancelled, cancelled, retired, cancelled, etc.

Tsonga didn't even put up a fight.

[EaglesPhan36]

Well you still took it yisman by 25 points. 50 points your way.

I didn't expect Tsonga would do much on clay against Nadal. Maybe win a few more games, but I didn't think he'd take a set. Nadal is still an absolute beast on dirt.
