Men's Day 5 (Thur) RGSP Pick

[shtexas]

Bonjour and welcome to Day 5 of the Men’s Roland Garros Suicide Pool – 2012 edition.

You will be making one pick EACH DAY of the men’s event (NOT one each round), and once you use a player, you can never use him again. There is a “picks and results thread” posted so you can check the choices you have already made. Check it. You don't want to accidently pick a player you have already chosen.

It is very important you follow the schedule of play for the day posted below. Only a portion of the draw plays each day.

Post your Day 5 pick by replying IN THIS THREAD. Your pick must be in before the start of play for the day in Paris, rain or shine. For day 5, that’s Thursday, May 31, 2012, 11:00 AM in PARIS. For those in the US, that is Thursday 5:00 AM EST. Please do not be late, as we hate making those hard decisions, but we will. This thread will be locked at the deadline, so please don't wait until the last minute or you may find it locked when you hit "post."

If you change your mind after you make your pick, and before the deadline, please make a second post advising us of your change - PLEASE DO NOT make your change in your original post, as we often go through the posts before closing to begin the task of updating the picks and results, and we might miss a change if you edit your original pick.

You might want to scout your player and make sure there is not a known injury or illness issue.

Note: Both Florian Mayer and Leonardo Mayer are on today's schedule. If you pick a Mayer, you must post which one.

Best of luck!
