It's the first time in 4 years that no one's had a finalist but this is exactly why people voted 3 years ago to use the Tennis Channel's scoring method for their massive contest for mine and why I haven't changed it and won't. To decide even before the first match of a tourney is played with 128 entrants who is going to not only make the finals but win is a big feat. That deserves to be rewarded with much higher points than if you pick who Djoko is going to beat in the first 3 rounds. We've been spoiled a bit since the same 4 have been in the finals for men for how long but on the women's side it's been a roller coaster for ages. Once both tourneys are done I'll update scores and ask for the prizes to be awarded.

These tennis contests are great, thanks for all of your hard work in running them Shari.

Thanks sweetpea! They're a bit of a bitch at times but even after this long they're still the best part of Slams for me. Finding decent bets in matches I'd normally never look at, seeing who people pick and wondering why they'd ever have Woz to make the QFs let alone further(and then being proven wrong)... it's a bit of a slog but I admit it's pretty fun too. I'm happy you enjoy them and thank you for the support always! xo
