Bonjour! Welcome survivors to Day 9 of the Men’s Roland Garros Suicide Pool – the conclusion of the round of 16!
You will continue making one pick EACH DAY of the men’s event (NOT one each round), and once you use a player, you can never use him again. There is a “picks and results thread” posted so you can check the choices you have already made. Please check it to avoid an accidental double-pick.
It is very important you follow the schedule of play for the day posted below.
Post your Day 9 pick by replying IN THIS THREAD. Your pick must be in before the start of play for the day in Paris, rain or shine. For day 9, that is Monday, 11:00 AM in PARIS. For those in the US, that is Monday 5:00 AM EST. Please do not be late, as we hate making those hard decisions, but we will. This thread will be locked at the deadline, so please don't wait until the last minute or you may find it locked when you hit "post."
If you change your mind after you make your pick, and before the deadline, please make a second post advising us of your change - PLEASE DO NOT make your change in your original post, as we often go through the posts before closing to begin the task of updating the picks and results, and we might miss a change if you edit your original pick.
Best of luck, and congratulations for successfully maneuvering through 8 picks!
Day 9 consists of the 4 fourth round matches from the BOTTOM half of the Men's draw:
(5) Juan Martin Del Potro ARG v (9) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga FRA
(16) Tommy Robredo ESP v (29) Philipp Kohlschreiber GER
(6) Andy Roddick USA v (11) Gael Monfils FRA
Tommy Haas GER v (2) Roger Federer SUI
