shari, tell Verdasco to get his butt on here and pick some winners.

I told my friend that's in Madrid right now with Dellacqua that if he happens to see Verdasco, to hork a loogie at him and say thanks for nothing. I did actually $5 on Lu and Mannarino last night for laughs. Had a feeling one of the big odds was going to pay out because of the difficulty the traditional clay courters have had adjusting to the courts this week. But unfortunately that did very little to put a dent into my losses last night.

The format is that you must make two ATP [male] picks & two WTA [female] picks per day. One of those has to be your best bet.

Vinci wins the first set 6-2 and then goes on to win only three games the rest of the way.

Name-changer is folding, so goodbye WTA chances for me.

Just a warning: If you guys are watching these matches on Tennis Channel, change channels during commercials unless of course you like to see a bunch of shirtless gay men flaunting Tommy Hilfiger. I mean seriously, do they have to put that commercial during tennis? Who do they think is watching these matches? I understand the financial commercials, but now this?

Only thing that will change pending the outcome of the final match is the positioning on the ATP bracket. If Ferrer wins, yisman finishes #1. If Djokovic wins, Cross finishes #1. EP36 [moi] is set at #1 in the WTA bracket. beefcake is #2. Remember the Saturday Semifinal matches pit:

#1 ATP vs. #2 WTA & #1 WTA vs. #2 ATP

Will post format for the semifinalists for this weekend upon completion of this final match. Good luck to everyone ... except the person who plays me. Thanks to all particpants. Make sure to look for another contest for next week if you're done for this week - will be making a thread for it on Saturday.
