I take back everything nasty I said about predicting Bucharest. Because Belgrade is worse. (Bedene?? Lajovic???? And thank the baselines we aren't picking doubles-- Junaid!? Motti!?)

Wow, never seen 5 deadlines so close together!

[Martini4me]

I hate the Tuesday (night) deadlines. They upset the rhythm of my week.

It took me about 45' to decide on these. I'm guessing they'll unravel in less than half that time.

My picks are unraveling pretty quickly. It isn't half way through the first day and I am already down one winner and two finalists.

I'm down two winners!

And Estoril (WTA) was complete heaven and hell. Got one half completely right; the other completely wrong.

I deserved what I got. I mean, picking Kirilenko to win a whole event! What was I thinking?

She was even leading 5-1 in the final set before getting a virtual bagel to end the match.

Alas, I too was enticed by this mermaid only to see my predictions smashed upon the rocks.

Finals week is really not even slightly conducive to predictions. Looks like I'm gonna have to get back on the struggle bus next week I suppose.
