Predictions for Bad Gastein will be due on Thursday as rain is playing havoc this week. 8 first round matches still has to be completed.

Brackets will be available tomorrow for London and Birmingham as first round matches will be continuing tomorrow:

London: Final set of Lorenzi and Ito

Birmingham: Chang/Baltcha and Babos/Riske matches were suspended due to darkness. Also, Hsieh/Dushevina and Panova/Dubois matches have not started.

Finally, London is available

All brackets are now available as Birmingham has completed all first round matches.

These are sure going to be fun tournaments to predict.

I forgot another one... Being done with finals is doing wonders for my drinking habit but not so much for my predictions scores.

[munchin]

I essentially flipped a coin for the women's tournaments. Those draws are hilarious.

[Ribbons]

This is as bad as Fes!

Predictions for Bad Gastein will be due on Thursday as rain is playing havoc this week. 8 first round matches still has to be completed.

"Bad Gastein" ?

I'd hate to be the winner of this tourney

[Drop-shot]

The winner of this week deserves a medal all by itself.

Some gems include JJ winning more than one match; a sloth of headcases doing grand things and Mahut as runner-up

[ptmcmahon]

I got a (Ursula) Radwanska - Zheng final...and that seems the more likely of my women's finals to occur to me.

Dry, Is your dog still around to make picks? I was going to throw all the WTA names in a bowl and just pick whoever came out first but decided to go with the darts instead!!

Seriously, I just made 10 second gut picks (way faster and probably almost as good or bad as the hat or the dart board).

[Martini4me]

Oh gosh, this is a mess. Birmingham finalist Vesninia out already. Queen's Club finalist Lopez out already. Queen's Club champion Tsonga out already (and potentially out of WImbledon too--that's one Green Acres trade to be made). And Melanie Oudin is into the quarters!!!

All this craziness makes me feel better about having picked a wild card to win a tournament this week. (and now I've just jinxed that)
