The Monaco injury keeps biting me. I had to change Monaco out, and therefore I could not trade Mayer out too.
I thought he would learn how to hit a ball between his defeat in MC and Bucharest. After all, he had plenty of time to practice.
What a waste of one spot.

Well, to say that today was fairly disastrous for me would be an understatement.

[ptmcmahon]

Mayer definitely wins LVP of this tournament.

Not sure if this week is bad for me or not - most of my dogs lost today but the people who were expected to win did...so who knows!

[Drop-shot]

I'm going to get rid of Mayer ASAP.

Only to watch him go on a tear.

Splat...(heading for the bottom of the rankings)

[Ribbons]

A sure sign this game is messing with your mind: when you find yourself thinking "Geez, I should've traded for Kubot instead..."

[ptmcmahon]

Down to two A guys....gulp!

Dammit, Feli. You were two points away from making me look brilliant.

[Martini4me]

Oooooaaaahh, Ferrer pulled out the match against Lopez. Not that I would have expected him to lose, but I wish he had, given that I wasn't smart enough to add him to my team this week, as many others were. I could have afforded the trades to trade DJokovic out and then back in. Hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of the draws down the road to fine-tune my team and made the ground back up.

[ptmcmahon]

Estoril and Belgrade are looking very tough to call next week - I don't trust anyone in Estoril and Belgrade has Andujar as top seed now...if anyone can pull out both winners or 2-3 finalists there it will be VERY impressive.

[ptmcmahon]

Where are Almagro and Belucci in the Munich draw! I'm already running out of players for next week!

At least Bellucci has an doctor's note (ab strain)! As of this morning, Troicki's website still indicated that his next tournament would be Belgrade, but as far as I can tell, he never actually bothered to sign up for it.

(Of course, a contest that has me placing any hopes on Bellucci and Troicki to begin with ... this never was going to end well.)

Sigh, it was good while it lasted. The Fognini and Simon takers will pass me up for sure.
