French Open predictions thread

[Simon]

Some privileges surely due to those who run the competition.

I suppose I could adopt cameel's bonus point system to split ties. There probably won't be any at the end though.

Which reminds me, do people want to do email from the quarters onwards to prevent tactical predictions?

Naa its always worked alright just doing it on the forum, seeing as though basically picking the winners in thse semis and finals is essential in winning the comp, those in front come that stage deserve some sort of advantage.

Clapo and Wright have a few minutes to figure out who they're going to tip in the Ferrero v Daniel game - which we haven't tipped before.

Wright also forgot to tip Almagro v Decoud.
