Just like the australian open we will tip on the winner of each match, with points doubling per round meaning the final is worth 64 points, semis 32 and so on.

Michael Llodra (FRA) vs Fernando Gonzalez (CHI)[25]
Alberto Martin (ESP) vs Carlos Moya (ESP)[14]
Luis Horna (PER) vs Jerome Haehnel (FRA)

naa we only tipped on mens matches during the australian open, and the womens games is far too predictable and not very interesting at all... except when Sharapova, Hantuchova, Dulko, Dimentieva etc... are playing

Winning and losing is a part of it all and isnt the be all and end all really so I would maintain it rocked regardless

I dont remember regarding the things in the previous torunament regarding the tips being private but I think that would be cool from the QF onwards too..

On second thoughts I think it would be cooler to be a bit more flexible with those wanting to not disclose their quarter finals onwards tips to e mail them to you and others who dont mind disclosing their tips publicly to be allowed to do the same.

Some people may just be too lazy to go for emailing..
