WTA Predictions for 's-Hertogenbosch are due before start of play on Tuesday.

WTA bracket for Eastbourne is now available

[Moose]

WTA Predictions for 's-Hertogenbosch are due before start of play on Tuesday.

Glad I read this. I never would have expected anything due this soon, though it makes perfect sense with it being a week before a Slam.

[Martini4me]

Whoa. That was scary.

[patrick]

Do not forget that 's-Hertogenbosch for the WTA is due before play starts on Tuesday.

[Jessie181]

Odd. Both Eastbourne links take me to ATP Eastbourne preds for me.

[ptmcmahon]

Me too...I would Go Here for WTA Eastbourne (http://www.talkabouttennis.com/contests/pc/brackets/061410WTAEASTBOURNE.htm) until they fix the link

[patrick]

Odd. Both Eastbourne links take me to ATP Eastbourne preds for me.

Corrected.

[Martini4me]

Almost everyone chose Henin to win s'hertgen...whatever. And almost as many people lost their finalist (Rybarikova, Kirilenko, Ivanovic) from the other half of the draw today.

[Drop-shot]

Faster than usual my predictions are falling. :cheesy:

For a second there I thought this was going to be a good post for me...saying Henin lost (I picked Kirilenko to win.) Week before majors are usually crapshoots...then I don't pick the favorite and watch her win.

Thanks for making us all feel good M4M! ;)

That's exactly what I think everytime I fill the predictions .... whatever.

[dryrunguy]

I would like to apologize to everyone else who picked Kirilenko to make the final (or win). I am her death knell. When I pick her to do well, she crashes. When I have her getting beat early, she wins titles.

I really hate her.

and us too, apparently! :lipsrsealed:

TA

[Charlie02123]

I'm in!

Clijsters over Stosur, Baghdatis over Troicki, Can'trememberanymore over Benneteau

[TennisAnyone74]

I cringed with every pick I had to make - WTA and ATP!

TA

[Drop-shot]

:freekingout: + :hyst: = my predictions

[ptmcmahon]

I found the ATP especially wacky...who can you pick in those tournies?

After the remarkable success of my WTA s'Hertogenbosch picks, I think I'm just going to click randomly for the rest of my picks.

[ptmcmahon]

Shhh...don't give away the secret way to maximize points this week!

[elisat]

When I realized I had Almagro wining a grass event, I had the same feeling as in math exams when you would get a completely absurd result.

Now I have Llodra wining the whole thing. I feel so much better. :hammerhead:

I stuck with Almagro. :wall::wall::wall:

And I added him to my GA team this week! :yikey::yikey::yikey:

[shtexas]

I came up with Almagro too! On grass! Lol...

[Tscott415]

LOL. Thats all i can say about this weeks predictions.

[FEBravo]

Hmmm. I made picks yesterday for 's-hert, but I don't see my picks on the list, and just realized I didn't get an email either. I'm assuming I screwed it up and nothing can be done, right?

[omess]

I did too :eek: :eek:

[atlpam]

ARRRGH - remembered this morning while getting ready for work that I forgot to post predictions last night - I could have used those "freebie" points. :(

FEBravo, TAT isn't accepting new people into the predictions contest at the moment. This only applies to the predictions contest, all other contests are open to new contestants.

[Drop-shot]

As do I :cheesy:

I have Llodra too.

I had Almagro lose his next match, so all of you who picked him to win are golden now.

[dryrunguy]

Istomin? He scares me.

[ptmcmahon]

Sheeze people Almagro hasn't even lost yet! Give him a couple hours to lose first.

[dryrunguy]

Didn't take long at all for this to get really, REALLY bloody. :mad:

[omess]

Didn't take long at all for this to get really, REALLY bloody. :mad:
Yeah :)

[Drop-shot]

Retired Almagro has... hmmmmm



:hyst:

[Martini4me]

I've lost all four of my ATP finalists today. :pissedoff:

[dryrunguy]

Kaboom!

[dryrunguy]

Kaboom!

Thud!

These contests do NOTHING for my tennis self-esteem.

[mmmm8]

Yeah... I lost one of my winners, and while Llodra won his singles match, he's withdrawn from doubles.

At least I got Almagro's loss right, that's always a pleasure

[dryrunguy]

Sure enough. Llodra was the pick in Eastbourne. Love the guy. But I never use him to go far in predictions because he withdraws ALL the time. Never know if he's going to finish a tournament. But this was the right week to take him. No doubt about it. Those of you who had the guts to take him should get double points.

::

Oh, and Miss Petkovic... Think Kuzy. Think Kuzy.

::

I hate you, Janko. You and Justine were my only shots at salvaging something respectable in GA. To the lake with you, Mr. No Fat Chicks. Justine may be right behind you.

Justine refused the lake and Michael shows up at one or two tournaments a year.

Making him a VERY risky pick for R1 of the SP, no? :cheesy:

[nelslus]

A Bondarenko in drag.

[patrick]

Making him a VERY risky pick for R1 of the SP, no? :cheesy:

Yes. If he survives that match, Roddick should be waiting for him.
