ATP - Tennis Challenge contest

[Tsonga]

Just wanted to keep track on how SBR'ers are doing in the ATP websites pool for Indian Wells....i had a pretty lacklustre start with only 8/16 matches correct...

hopefully things get better. Anyone else doing ok?

I went out on a limb and had Cilic beating Fed in the final.

[AbleFollow]

yesterday did well... but today I'm feeling awful

[Boner_18]

I have 5/15 after day one. Pitiful. My GF has 14/15 though, not bad.

[Tsonga]

17 right - 15 wrong.

[revnecro1273]

18 for me

[onizuka]

I have 5/15 after day one. Pitiful. My GF has 14/15 though, not bad.

14/15 was pretty good

[Tsonga]

At 29 correct picks now... No cilic/ fed final now...didn't think cilic would make such a big flop.

[Tsonga]

42 correct picks now - 4634/17249

[Tsonga]

I'm doing terrible making picks for this tournament but I created a SBR group on the website...its a public group so no password. http://challenge.atpworldtour.com

Its called "SBR TENNIS"

[Tsonga]

you can start making picks tomorrow for the miami masters tourney

[Boner_18]

Just joined the group. I hope that this Master's is a little more predicable as you will see I finished near dead last at Indian Wells.

[revnecro1273]

last tournament was pretty whacked...never saw so many upsets in one tournament in my life

[Tsonga]

entered my picks...crazy last tournament...I don't think anyone could have possibly predicted that winner.

[yisman]

I got my picks in for the previous tournament, but that was only the second one I entered. I need to be reminded before they start.

I'll join the SBR group.

[yisman]

there's another group called SBR. haha

[Netprofit]

Is it stll possible to join this contest? Where is it?

[Boner_18]

There might be time to join, starts this morning some time. Go to challenge.atpworldtour.com

Notice to all who are in. Monfils w/drew, this changes some picks.

[yisman]

the deadline was 10 AM EDT

I made my picks at about 4:30.

[Tsonga]

Looks like we are all tied after day 1...12 correct picks each. out of 15 total - that's pretty good...see if that keeps up...if its like last week i'll have 4 favorites lose tomorrow.

[Boner_18]

Yeah. We all had Gasquet winning too.

[Tsonga]

i have a rule where i always go against a rochus.

[Boner_18]

i have a rule where i always go against a rochus.

HAHAHA. Which one? Both i would hope, though Olivier is much better than Christophe.

[RJ89]

I just joined, though I'm doing pretty bad this tournament so far.

[Tsonga]

really good start for me - 26 correct picks...in 23rd place out of 17000 so far! had karlovic over gimeno today and that wasn't a popular picks for SBR today.

[yisman]

Not a popular pick?

I took it too. That's half the group!

I'm 4-0 in that subsection (GT losing to Karlovic, Llodra losing to Ferrer).

what does circuit mean?

[Boner_18]

The circuit is the masters event,

Indian Wells - 1 Circuit
Miami - Another Circuit

Josh you are crushing it right now.

[Boner_18]

Oh no. Circuit... dunno what that is there.

[Boner_18]

Circuit is the whole shebang, so Indian Wells + Miami

[Tsonga]

need djoker to make the comeback and then lose to querrey.

[Tsonga]

lost with djoker...crap....and querrey looks like he is making an early exit too...which sucks because i had him going pretty far.

[Boner_18]

Yeah both are gone. I bet a lot of people had them though.

[Tsonga]

yah - that's the only good part.

[Tsonga]

had a horrible night...need troiki, bennateu and isner to come through....not looking good

[Tsonga]

lots of misses yesterday....now in 88th out of 17000 with 34 correct picks.

[Boner_18]

Yeah. You still look good though. Between Querrey and Djok there must be only a small slice of people who have maybe Almagro coming out of that bottom quarter so those are lost points for most.
