Still:

Their Twitter feed says they are trying to get something going, but it looks like nothing will be up before early Sunday, UK time.

Thanks to mysteryX, I've found out that there will be a Steven contest for the US Open:

Eeeek, I'm in. I can't do any worse than Wimbledon!

**steven** · 08-26-2012, 12:38 PM

Sorry about the delays, everyone - it's been a shocker of a week and an even worse weekend. LOL

As some of you noticed, entries opened a few hours ago at http://www.britishtennis.net/competitions.html and will close at 11 am US EDT (15.00 GMT) on Monday - I hope that will give at least some of you a chance to enter. Good luck!

entered my picks. Apologies in advance, TAT.

**evanm191** · 08-26-2012, 06:19 PM

I will be competing also. Sorry if Isner doesn't make the semis.

I've got Isner in the SF, too. Knowing he could just as easily lose to Malisse in the 1st Round.....

Especially not feeling real confident, as I'm doing a lot of this knowing I need to get some pre-work sleep, so this all is just a TAD! rushed. Now I'm gonna do the Tennis Channel draw and change things up, hoping I'll get things kinda right SOMEWHERE.....

**JTContinental** · 08-26-2012, 11:45 PM

God, I have DJ in the semis, too. We're doomed, especially since I predicted that the Winston-Salem winner would take it 7-6 in the third and then bow out early at the Open, and the first half has already come true.

**mysterX** · 08-27-2012, 06:25 AM

Uh oh...another Isner picker in the Semis picker here...looks like our team's fate is in John's hands.

**skatingfan** · 08-27-2012, 08:05 AM

Yeah, I put Isner in the Semis - that means he is guaranteed to lose first round (not a guarantee).

**ptmcmahon** · 08-27-2012, 05:10 PM

I got Haas in that quarter...so either I'm wrong and 'm the minority and it doesn't matter...or I'm right but it doesn't really matter!

**Charlie02123** · 08-27-2012, 05:20 PM

I picked Querrey into the quarters (Berdych's section). Otherwise top 8 in the quarters and on rank until Djokovic as the champ.

**Charlie02123** · 08-27-2012, 05:21 PM

About Isner, the only reason I picked Tipsarevic to the QF is because "Dreamy John" has an absolutely brutal draw. He could come through each match individually, but his giant frame can't handle too many long four and five setters.
