    The draw is now up and is available here if you're not using bracket software to make your picks.


    My suggestion to make it easier on you is to find a place online to enter your picks (I use the Tennis Channel contest) and then just copy and paste to submit them.


    Again: I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OTHER FORMAT THIS TIME. YOUR ENTRY WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU.


    TO SUBMIT YOUR PICKS:


    This is a standard bracket contest.You take each first round winner and slot them through until the end. Just to make it clear: You're starting off by telling me what Round 2 would look like if you were going to be watching a round 2 match. So the first names you'll give me are the winners from the Djokovic vs JCF match and the Harrison vs Lu match as the winners will be playing each other in Round 2. Then you go on to the next subgroup and carry those winners through.



    Example entry (copy and paste this to PM to me)

                Just wondering for the tiebreaker scenario what is the official line used to determine which player is the dog? Sometimes the moneylines can be almost dead even and go back and forth.

                            TennisInsight has it fed through and I also get it through OnCourt. That's what I go by

                                                    just got my picks done...usually the example entry has the correct players...this not being right made me spend a little longer on the picks....BUT - i am done and have picked a few good upsets. Looking forward to a good tourney. Down with Murray!!

                                                            Made picks in "Tennis Channel.com's" Racquet Bracket contest as recommended and pm'd link to entries.

                                                            Check out my picks here: "Link to entry"

                                                                Again guys, I cannot accept entries that aren't in the format posted above. If you send me a link I can't use it. The format is the same as it's always been so if you send me something else, your entry won't be included which I've tried to make clear several times in my posts above.

                                                                And yes, this time I didn't spoonfeed everyone by putting all the names in myself. Sorry but real life gets in the way once in awhile but I'm sure everyone knows how to copy and paste by now.

                                                                GL everyone.
