thanks guys, sorry for the mistake, even though i was just transcribing my bloody bracket from my tennis channel entry. no clue how Davy got in there. My QFs and on are:

Federer, Soderling, Del Potro, Murray
Federer, Del Potro
Federer

I'm not going to do the math right now, but I'm probably solidly sunk. Eaglesphan has Federer as well, and may have me on account of having Roddick and Djoker alive.

[iceminers26]

Final Four

Federer, Haas, Roddick, Stepanek

Championship

Federer, Roddick

Champion

Roddick

Not that it really matters with my current status, but since everyone else was posting theirs, I posted mine as well.

[ji03]

Round of Eight
Davydenko over Federer
Tsonga over Djokovic
Del Potro over Roddick
Murray over Nadal

Final Four
Davydenko over Tsonga
Murray over Del Potro

Champion
Davydenko

hey, eagles, what happened to your daily picks threads with point offers?

You did it a few times last year.

I just put up an offer for anyone who wants Serena.

[EaglesPhan36]

I'm working on an idea post-Australian Open to try and keep the tennis forum hopping that will involve points. I've been trying to concentrate on just getting off to a good start so far ... a lot of good that has done.

[ji03]

Well I'm done with Davydenko going down to Federer.

[beefcake]

loos like its down to eagles,staright and me??

Here's who everyone has for the Finals.

jio3 - Davydenko over Murray
Tom Jane - Federer over Del Potro
Boner_18 - Djokovic over Roddick
revnecro1273 - Federer over Roddick
beefcake - Cilic over Federer
EaglesPhan36 - Federer over Murray
tailmypicks - Djokovic over Roddick
iceminers26 - Federer over Roddick
StraitShooter - Murray over Davydenko

Remember there is the perfect round bonus to consider, myself and beefcake are the only who have that shot if the championship falls as Federer vs. Murray or Federer vs. Cilic. That's 100 extra points. 200 still out there for getting the Champion correct + 128 for picking that round right also. If I have it figured right, StraitShooter wins if Murray wins out. beefcake obviously wins if Cilic does. I win if Federer and Murray make it and Federer wins or I think if Federer beats Cilic.

Good show guys, was a fun tourney. Good luck in the finals all that have a shot at the money. I, on the other hand, will be rooting for Federer

[revnecro1273]
