Men's Day 5 (Fri) Wimbledon SP Pick

[shtexas]

Welcome to Day 5 of the Fifth Annual Men’s Suicide Pool for The Championships - Wimbledon. You have survived 4 picks and 2 rounds!

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 made and not duplicate them.

It is very important you follow our posted schedule of play for the day. Today's matches include the 8 third round matches from BOTTOM half of the Men's Draw.

Post your Day 5 pick by replying IN THIS THREAD. Your pick must be in before the start of play for the day in London, rain or shine, that is, Friday, June 26th at 12:00 PM London time. For those in the US, London is five (5) hours later than the east coast, and eight (8) hours later than the West coast. Don’t be late as we hate making those hard decisions, but we will. The thread will be locked at the deadline, so don't wait until the final minutes.

You might want to scout your player and make sure there is not a known injury or illness issue.

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 thanks for joining us!

Friday’s schedule of play consists of the 8 third round matches from the BOTTOM half of the men’s draw:

Andreas Seppi ITA v Igor Andreev RUS (29)
Tommy Haas GER (24) v Marin Cilic CRO (11)
