2012 TSIP Terra Cotta Lounge

[ptmcmahon]

There are 4 quarters of the draw next week. Too bad my 8 guys are only spread out among two of those. Two semifinalists is the BEST I could do.

Make that 9/9 - got a qualifier as well - in one of the same quarters.

I got 10 players but in the end, our result will be the same as we will only have 2 SF at best.

[ptmcmahon]

So this week's winners will be those who got people in all the quarters of the draws then...or maybe even 3!

EDIT: Just saw Montanes on the OOP...didn't think he was in. He's my only one in the other two quarters, so he is my MVP this week if he can make the semis.

Thomaz!

Florian Mayer, Seeded #1.
You ought to be able to do better than lose your first round.

After his dismal performance in the first two weeks of this contest, I have been referring to him by another name that starts with an F, and its not Florian!

[ptmcmahon]

Bet it's not favorite either. He's my only player who hasn't won me a match yet.

Two years ago I picked Stan for this very contest and he didn't win a single point for me (at least, that I remember). This year he's systematically knocking out either players on my team or my picks for Predictions. Ewok, Ewok, why do you thwart me so?

Not over yet as Almagro breaks to stay alive.

Meanwhile, two players left for me starting yesterday has doomed my chances of any outside shot of getting a TAT Fantasy medal.

The slide in TSIP is more like a mudslide for my team.

Here are the scores at the QF of Monte Carlo. 3 Murrays, 2, Haase 1 Tsonga, 1 Simon are the only outliers from the 18 Nadals and 17 Djokovic pickers. Ribbons has taken the lead from Ponchi101 (as Ponchi predicted) but 2008 TSiP champion Miles is one Murray win away from jumping into the lead. An unlikely Haase win over Djoko would be huge for Ptm and Tog. Tsonga-Simon should be an interesting match and is key for Luvs10 and E11even's chances of moving up. Munchin will post final scores at the end of the week. Good luck and enjoy the tennis!

Ribbons- 286 (Djokovic, Nadal)
Ponchi101- 284 (Djokovic, Nadal)

Patrick- 188 (Djokovic, Nadal)
Drop-shot- 175 (Djokovic, Nadal)
Munchin- 100 (Djokovic, Nadal)

Of course I put Ferrer on my team an he loses handily to Bellucci.

Seriously, how much worse can I do? Not even trying...

[ptmcmahon]

Go Haase go! He wasn't even on my original team - he was a last second add when one of the guys I thought was playing was all of a sudden not in the draw last week.

[ponchi101]

Which just proves that my "victory" last week was downright Iva-Majoli-esque, a complete "Myskina".
Monaco I can understand. He had a freak injury. But FMayer is really letting me down.
Time to start thinking one trade (gotta replace Monaco, at least)

[ponchi101]

From Ribbons and me: Thanks Thomaz!
