Not a problem at all, I just may have limited time online over the rest of the week, so wanted to make sure I made a pick if necessary...

It's one less game for me to pick wrong!!

Total points minus Slam points. (I have a spreadsheet.)

jiggy - are we picking the Brady Quinn Bowl on Thursday?

Tommy Ho.

I go back to my original statement. I don't understand the question. Does overrated mean "who is least deserving of the hype"? Or is it in regards to how they're ranked? Weeks at #1? etc.

And...

Current Top 20 players only
1. Jankovic 2805
2. Safina 2507
3. Zvonareva 2222
4. Dementieva 2099
5. Kuznetsova 1946
6. Ivanovic 1837
7. Sharapova 1830
8. S. Williams 1676
9. Chakvetadze 1392

Define "overrated".

Seriously, one could make a case for Davenport (she finished as year end #1 four times, but won only three Slam singles titles). Or the opposite case for Venus (she's won seven...

Oh that's quite possible. You're talking about a guy who tried to make five trades in the EMW contest. My mind has been in a thousand different places lately.

Regardless of who I think will win, my only (admittedly slight) chance of cracking the top 3 in the 2008 predictions scores is to pass GVGirl, so I basically have to make picks different from hers to...

They're standing in order of ranking 1 through 8.

Vera's cheating. She's standing about a foot forward so she'll look taller; everyone else has their back up close to the wall. :cheesy:

Funny how the three shortest players are wearing flat shoes;...

Same strategy for picking as I used last week... start the stopwatch...

Buffalo
Chicago
Jacksonville
Cleveland
Tennessee
St. Louis
Minnesota
Tampa Bay

Then why change the point structure to begin with? If they believe the new points to be the more accurate system with which to evaluate player rankings, they should implement it at once.

Yes, I think you're right about the doubling. But if they're setting up a different points structure, it would make the most sense to recalibrate everyone's points at the start of the season (so USO...

Neps = Ginepri

The strange thing about it is that the ATP aren't recalibrating players rankings based on this new points structure at the beginning of the year. So after the Australian, you'll...

Missed the last couple of games, but nice win by the Phillies.

No, I'd make the same changes for the men. The ranking systems should be the same IMO.

I can understand why you might think that - Radwanska hasn't really had a win on the big stage since her upset of Sharapova at the 2007 US Open. But I think she fully deserves that top ten spot.

My friends and I used to watch old game shows from the 50s and 60s on the Game Show Network (Password, To Tell the Truth, etc.). It always cracked us up when there was a woman contestant, and the...

Actually I don't have an issue with the WTA's points relativity between Slams vs. non-Slams. I just think every match a WTA player plays in should be counted towards their ranking.

Radical, huh?

Hah!! For those of you that didn't see my picks, this is what I wrote when making them:


I now know the secret to this contest!!
