I can't believe I (and 8 others) got taken out by Count Chocula. Since I became aware of him a couple of years ago, I think he's generally under-preformed my expectations in predictions. Now he comes up big here at the wrong time. And after getting through the difficult first round matches here, I had myself set up for a pretty clear road right through the finals (although yesterday's results meant I was going to have to pick Berdych over Youzhny tomorrow).

Congratulations to the final eight.

Thanks for losing a winnable match Hot Sauce -- took out half of us. Major choke! But all credit to the Almagro and Melzer pickers!

It was fun playing while it lasted. My 1st RG SP is in the books! Hvala svima!

I had fully planned on taking Verdasco today. Then he went 5 sets w/ Kohlschreiber (spelling?) and that scared me off.

I'm kind of upset that Murray lost yesterday, because Berdych/Youzhny is a toss-up imo.

Congrats on losing your... suicide virginity?

Are you Serbian (or Croatian)? I'm learning the language

[shtexas]

Everyone still alive can beat the draw. In fact, 7 of the 8 have at least 5 players they have not chosen yet. One person has 6. Good job!

I don't even care that I lost with Verdasco because I stupidly already wasted Berdych.

The people who think Youzhny can beat Berdych are paying too much attention to history and too little attention to the reality of Berdych's awesomeness at this tournament.
