Strictly speaking, it had. 12 minutes into the game or so.

Was 1-1 at that point, so I think I'll let you off.

Finals, then.

Wright 424
NUFAN 394
BoyBrumby 388
biased indian 385
SirBloody Idiot 369
Simon 362
Håkon 360
headhunter 322
alternative 319
Clapo 300
Pratyush 283
Liam 247
Mitchell 193

Everyone from NUFAN down to me can catch Wright if he tips wrong in the women's final.

Thus:

Dinara Safina (RUS)[13] vs Ana Ivanović (SRB)[2]

Has to be Ivanović for me.

 

[Simon]

Hakon, we usually make the rule that you have to tip winners for the mens and womens finals before the start of the womens final. Gives more people a chance than just two on the final day.

Thus
Ivanovic (SRB)[2]
Nadal (ESP) [2]

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Fair.

Rafael Nadal (ESP)[2] vs Roger Federer (SUI)[1] the final, for those of you that didn't watch today.

I tip Nadal.

 

[headhunter]

Ana Ivanović (SRB)[2]

[Mister Wright]

[NUFAN]

Dinara Safina
Rafael Nadal

Just thinking in future predictions that once we get to semis and finals we should ask more bonus questions like how many sets, aces, fastest serve etc just to make it a bit more interesting at the end.

As it is at the moment there is no point in me picking the same as Wright - Nadal and Ivanovic, With the extra questions there'd need to be more thought put into it. I think Safina can get up anyways.

exactly

atleast u have a chance if bumbers and me pick the other 2 combination any one down us four have no chance of winning

i think we should be scoring 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 rather tahan going to 32,64

and have bonus questions for the set..or some thing like that QF onwards

And my pick

Ivanovic
Federer

 

[Mister Wright]

No, I agree with the current scoring system. I was well and truly out of it until the quarters. Picked a couple of upsets and got the points. The later matches are harder to pick as they're against tougher opponents, and therefore should have much more points than previous rounds.

Pick the winners and you have no problems.

but you wont have much people intrested in it once it reaches last satges

and if u happen to miss a first round..it dont hurt you but when u mis a semifianl or QF u r out of the competition ..just ask liam he was the leader missed one round and he was last ..dont think thats a good scoring system

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dinara Safina (RUS)[13]
Rafael Nadal (ESP)[2]

Tipping the upset to give myself a prayer.

& I'm happy with the current system. Someone has to win & lose and the earlier rounds shouldn't be totally meaningless.
