Hello,


The draws are out for Hops's former contest:
http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/draws/ms/
http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/draws/ws/

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.

A perfect score of 20 will be rewarded with....bragging rights. If you are
lucky and well-behaved, Wendy might kindly offer a prize.

All entries will be listed here:

http://home.pacific.net.au/~davidw/tennis/contest/rst_2013sp_RG.html

Entries must be posted before the first ball is struck in Paris on SUNDAY.

Good luck.

I am with you for your wishful Federer d Djokovic pick but Errani d
Azarenka? How can you like Errani? She is my least favorite women's
player in the top ten. Hopefully Radwanska or Ivanovic (or whomever
else) will blow Errani's ass off the court but if they somehow don't
and she makes it out of her quarter, you can bet Serena will send her
ass back to Italy.

Li Na was embarrassing pick though.

I tipped the winners & my r/up's lost in semis (Tsonga & Azarenka).

He's a bit of a clown in rst. Always talking about calendar slam for
Djoker after he wins AO.

GS should never be discussed until someone wins 1st 2 slams of the year.
This is because somebody has to win AO every year. It takes something
extra to win 1st 2 slams of the year & get half way. Courier was the
last guy to do that 21 years ago.

there is an art to picking players for the RST tourney that make the SF
but don't make the final. Last USO, all four of my RST picks made the
SFs and yet I received zero RST points when they were done.

Li Na is not an embarrassing pick in general because she has won RG
before, but if you looked at her clay results pre RG this year you
could see she was NOT in form and her draw was brutal. She had to beat
Sharapova, Azarenka and Serena to win the title.

Ocean is a joke. If he comes out and makes a prediction on RST, I know
immediately the opposite will happen. :) Felangey is a pretty bad
predictor as well.

That's why Whisper thinks Fed's semifinals streak is nothing. Except for
his tip in the RST contest, then SF is great. LOL.
