how has tennis been treating you shari?

Hey Pride! Tennis has been great although this week has been a bit of a non-event so far. Either pushing, winning a unit or losing a unit each day so nothing too exciting. Hope everything is going well with you and hopefully you'll come visit us in the tennis forum again soon!

can we change our picks Shari for the matches that haven't started?

I had thought about allowing that when I was writing the contest rules but I decided against it because I think it'll put people who don't log in every day at a disadvantage.
