Not quite sure all games will be played today, but hopefully there are some blowouts. Beijing people late with the schedule, so guessed at the remaining games.

Points after 5 matches (González, Blake, Davydenko, Berdych, Čilić)
headhunter, Brumby, Pratyush, Mitchell 5
Vimes, Clapo, Jamee, Simon 4
Somerset 0 - late tips
