Hello,

The draws are out for Hops's former contest:
http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/ms/index.html
http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/ws/index.html

Same rules, predict the winner/finalist for both men and women. Scoring
allocation:

Winner Pick is Winner 6 points
Finalist Pick is Finalist 4 points
Winner Pick is Finalist 3 points
Finalist Pick is Winner 3 points

Picks must be from different sides of the draw. If they are from the same side,
only the Winner pick will be allowed.

If one of your picks is in danger of pulling out of the event you can select an
alternate pick, but the alternate is only valid if the original pick withdraws
before their first match.

All entries will be listed here:
http://home.pacific.net.au/~davidw/tennis/contest/rst_2015sp_US.html

Entries must be posted before the first ball is struck in New York on Monday.

Good luck.

If I want to catch Guypers, which is doubtful at best, I'll need the below
four to get to the finals. So unless I change my mind before Monday
morning, here are my picks:

Novak Djokovic over Tomas Berdych
Victoria Azarenka over Maria Sharapova

Thanks David!

Also, A Ham Epsilon or Salami Phone would be helpful.

Then again Serena has Hip AA Melons so there are some Animal Hopes.

Manuel (Manuel should translate as "Manuel", not "Manual ;-) ) should be able to pull out four names before first ball, this time!

Plus, such late posting, given MaSha withdrawing, might be less work for David ;-)

Now I have enough time to read all of this USO picks.

Is it asking too much for you to make a selection, get it in before the deadline and then not change your picks 42 times after that? What is so difficult about that? You do this EVERY time. What's the problem?

Why does it bother you that it bothers me? Do I complain when you get annoyed by things that other posters do and say? And you seem to get annoyed quite a bit by what certain posters post (that is your right.)

I find it extremely annoying that this b person can't follow the simple rules of the contest and does the same thing like clockwork every year--i.e. make a pick and then ultimately change it a few times AFTER the first ball has been struck. She/he sounds like a nut. Is that ok with you?

I'm annoyed that you're annoyed about Gracchus being annoyed at your
annoyance of b, but I'm not annoyed at you being annoyed with b.

b is probably drunk & doesn't give a fuck.
