**Ryangene** · 05-24-10, 11:37 AM

Contest is of course closed so believe there are 67 Entries....

51 People have Nadal
10 People have Federer
1 Person has Roddick
3 People have Soderling
1 Person had Gublis
1 Person has Djokovic

(all stats of course unofficial as just ust trying to keep people semi updated with the spreadsheet I put together)

Murray Losing right now as of this update.... About 44 users would lose him in their contest if he lost...
Nadal was used on all 67 entries
Federer was used on 64
Djokovic was used on 55

**Ryangene** · 05-24-10, 03:55 PM

Anyone see a Fernandez in the tournament? I didn't find.

There were only 3 users that had.... 1 user must have copy and pasted from the other user and just switch who was going to come in 1st and whom was in 2nd around as all the tennis stars were the same.

**Stacocakes** · 05-24-10, 11:47 PM

I am just taking a guess here but I am guessing whoever put Fernandez meant Fernando gonzalez

**Ryangene** · 05-25-10, 11:20 AM

Below is a list of users whom have all 8 players left.

For those whom had Fernandez I counted that as a loss as there
is no guy with that last name, and if Stacocakes is right and people
meant Fernando well the name was still spelled wrong as well. For those
whom had Fernandez you might have just copy and pasted someone elses entry
so you deserve to get it wrong for not doing your own reasearch....

(again these are unofficial as someone of course is running it from SBR but just
wanted to give you a feel to where most people were sitting)

Really doesnt matter too much if one doesnt have 8 players left as if someone unusual wins, ie, anyone other than Nadal or Federer, then you could actually win the whole thing and not get anything else right

**playersonly69** · 05-25-10, 12:13 PM

Some people didnt look at the draw. Thus they have 2 guys from the same bracket in the final 4 which is impossible

**yisman** · 05-25-10, 12:23 PM

Ryan, thanks for the update. You have a ysmin in there. Is that me?

In both the WTA and ATP contests, a bunch of people picked impossible outcomes due to not looking at the draws.

**Ryangene** · 05-25-10, 12:52 PM

Yes that is you sorry dude...I corrected on my spreadsheet. (typo)

I will post whom has impossible outcomes....

**Ryangene** · 05-25-10, 01:05 PM

These are the people whom have impossible finals matchups.

would have been funny if he had guys in there that had already been disqualified

**Ryangene** · 05-28-10, 09:17 AM

Verdasco match is only match going right now (that matters) for MENS to wrap up ROUND 2.

Providing he holds on and wins here are the people with PERFECT BRACKETS SO FAR..

Again these stats are 100% NOT OFFICIAL just small tracking to help players see
where they are.

**playersonly69** · 05-29-10, 11:42 AM

Well if you had Roddick to finish in the final 4, ANYWHERE, then you may be in major trouble. Since I took all favorites winning and in second, I think that I may be out of the whole thing and I only had him finishing from 4th-8th.

Here is the live brackets right now. There are a few matches still going. Ferrero can still advance and Verdasco can still advance. Of those 2 matches, hardly ANYONE took Genepri and almost no one took Kohlschrieber. Quite a few people, like myself, have Verdasco as advancing pretty far. So if Verdasco loses then that opens things up a bit and some people do have Juan Carlos Ferrero.

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Some people just put Ferer in their bracket. Well if you didnt spell it exactly as Ferrero, then you wouldnt get him as winning since David Ferer played as well.

HOW ABOUT A FEW CHARITY POINTS FOR MY UPDATE:

Roger Federer SUI (1) v Stanislas Wawrinka SUI (20)

Marin Cilic CRO (10) v Robin Soderling SWE (5)

Andy Murray GBR (4) v Tomas Berdych CZE (15)

Mikhail Youzhny RUS (11) v Jo-Wilfried Tsonga FRA (8)

Teimuraz Gabashvili RUS v Jurgen Melzer AUT (22)

Ferrero/Genepri v Novak Djokovic SRB (3)

Verdasco/Kohlschriber v Nicolas Almagro ESP (19)

Thomaz Bellucci BRA (24) v RAFAEL NADAL

**playersonly69** · 05-29-10, 12:58 PM

Well, just that easily, NO ONE has a perfect bracket anymore. There are quite a few posters whom are basically eliminated. If you took Ferrer to make it to final 4 or Ferrero to get that far, then you are virtually out of the competition. If you took Roddick to make it to the final 4, then you will have your work cut out for you.

Now having said that, if Soderling or Djokovic manage to win, then those posters who took them will win it all. Not too many people took Federer to win it all, so if Federer wins it all, then you could still have Roddick or Ferrer in the final 4 and still have a chance.

Here are the updated brackets. I may have time to post who is ofiicially eliminated at this point

Roger Federer SUI (1) v Stanislas Wawrinka SUI (20) Marin Cilic CRO (10) v Robin Soderling SWE (5)

Andy Murray GBR (4) v Tomas Berdych CZE (15) Mikhail Youzhny RUS (11) v Jo-Wilfried Tsonga FRA (8)

Teimuraz Gabashvili RUS v Jurgen Melzer AUT (22) Robby Ginepri USA v Novak Djokovic SRB (3)

Fernando Verdasco ESP (7) v Nicolas Almagro ESP (19) Thomaz Bellucci BRA (24) v Rafael Nadal ESP (2)

**playersonly69** · 05-29-10, 01:44 PM

Basically, none of this really matters. Since the scoring gives so many points for the Champion, if Federer wins, then only 10 posters are still in it. 3 posters tool Soderling and they could win it all even with only 5 guys left of the 8.

My question is this. If you took Nadal to win in all and he comes in second against someone other than Federer, would you still get points for Nadal coming in second? I think that you would.

Likewise i would hope to get credit for Nadal if he came in 3rd or 4th and you took him 1st or 2nd.

If I could change my pick from Nadal to Federer at this point, I would do so. You guys with Federer have a much better chance at wining something. 51 people took Nadal to win it all and most of those took Federer second of course

**noober** · 05-30-10, 11:43 AM

Read the scoring rules. If you have Nadal to win it but he loses in the final you get 0 points.

**michalis** · 05-30-10, 11:29 PM

I took ferer to make it to the semis, why do you say I dont have a chance?

like anyone here actually took melzer or gabashvilli to make it to the semis

**Ace_of_Spades** · 05-31-10, 12:23 AM

I'm a little confused. Do the people who picked Nadal to win and Federer as the runner up get 15pts + 5? Then calculated

Semi-final loser = 3pt
Semi-final loser= 3pt
All others in final 8 = 1pt

??

**yisman** · 05-31-10, 12:35 AM

I'm done because I had Nadal over Murray. I can't believe I picked Murray to make the finals.

**Shortstop** · 05-31-10, 12:57 AM

Ryan, thanks a lot for the updates!

**Shortstop** · 05-31-10, 12:59 AM

By the way, are there any websites that show the updated brackets?

Im very close to have guessed the semifinalists . I need Berdich, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic there.

**playersonly69** · 05-31-10, 08:20 PM

How many people get paid here?

**Shortstop** · 06-01-10, 02:18 AM

Lou, when does this end? Can we get a poster leaderboard update?

**playersonly69** · 06-01-10, 02:24 AM

Here are the updated results and who made the final 8. NO ONE has all 8 correct, but this really all boils down to who win the entire tournament. If you dont have the champion right, then you really dont have a shot at making the money. I am still not sure how many places get paid.

Roger Federer SUI (1) v Robin Soderling SWE (5)

Tomas Berdych CZE (15) v Mikhail Youzhny RUS (11)
-------------------------------------------

Jurgen Melzer AUT (22) v Novak Djokovic SRB (3)

Nicolas Almagro ESP (19) v Rafael Nadal ESP (2)

Well I did the results last night, but it was too hard to even post.

But I will tell you that you AND ME are mathematically eliminated from the tournament.

Well assuming that it is graded according to the way that Ryangene says that it should be, neither one of us can win

**Ryangene** · 06-01-10, 03:44 PM

With the Berdych match over with Federer over too here is where people stand..

Like before we will wait 100% to see what SBR says but this is what I have after today's matches...

ELIMINATED 100% FROM GETTING 1ST.

Mathdocom
Shantystar
as99
Munjoz
Dentry (even though he has Soderling winning he has same finishers as StraightShooter and StraightShooter has points already.

Simple if Djokovic wins- DrunkHorse wins

Simple if Soderling wins- 3ptShooter OR StraigShooter

Even if Nadal wins it all these people are done too. Most of these have Djokovic getting 5th thru 8th HOWEVER so
does YISMAN whom already has a few points!

Sorry you guys are mathematically eliminated from 1st.

There are actually another 20 posters who cannot win and they all took Nadal. But that is based on the fact that IF the perfect scenario happens with their brackets, then it helps someone else even more.

Ryan, you can eliminate at least another 25 posters
