Men's Day 4 (Thu) USO SP Pick

[shtexas]

Welcome to Day 4 of the 2010 United States Open Men’s Suicide Pool! We continue with round 2 from the bottom half of the draw.

You will be 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. It might be time to start checking it.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU FOLLOW THE POSTED SCHEDULE OF PLAY BELOW. BE CAREFUL.

Post your Day 4 pick by replying IN THIS THREAD. Your pick must be in by the start of play in New York, rain or shine, that is Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 11:00 AM New York time (east coast), 8:00 AM on the west coast. For those in Europe, London is five (5) hours later than the east coast. Don’t be late as we hate making those hard decisions, but we will. This thread will be locked at 11:00 AM EDT, so please don't wait until the last minute or you may find it locked when you hit "post".

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!

Thursday’s schedule of play consists of 14 SECOND ROUND MATCHES FROM BOTTOM half of the men’s draw (the other two matches from that half of the draw were on Wednesday's schedule):

Nikolay Davydenko RUS (6) v Richard Gasquet FRA
