The Slide into Paris Discussion

Nice Mr. Show reference there. I hear Tankerbell doesn't think much of them Europayans neither.


And Mike, shouldn't you be in class???

I was between classes. Don't worry XD.

I picked perfect timing to finally substitute Canas for Chela.

[suliso]

Canas might still do something in Hamburg

I hope adding Acasuso will work out. Too bad there are so many others who have Starace...

Ah, the fun of the fantasy tennis game.

You're only choices would be to trade Novak with a lower priced player or use both of your substitutions now trading a second player with someone from the same category that is low enough in cost to give you what you need for Fed.

I was in the same predicament as bea, tocwhom your post was directed. I had lamented not being able to switch Novak out and put Federer in. But thanks to Mr. Filippo Volandri, I think it's good to have Novak this week, especially if Rafa can't play today. I can almost taste the Moretti!!

I got all excited for nothing. Way too many people with a great chance to win. Come on Potito!!

[Moose]

how on earth did Chela win and Fed lose? I thought I was totally screwed this week with having only Chela on the upper half of the draw. Djokovic/Chela final, anyone?

They're both on my team! With a little Nadal insurance just in case...

Yup - I knew coming in 2nd after Estoril wasn't gonna last long!

I'm pretty excited Federer didn't win because I don't actually have him on my team. Unfortunately though, I don't have much left... Nadal, Djokovic... I don't think anyone else... hmm... oh well.

I can't explain the Roger loss, but I have some ideas about why Chela won.

Chela played on his favorite surface and Roddick's least favorite surface.
Chela moves much better on clay than Roddick.
Roddick's power is neutralized on clay.
Chela has played a full claycourt season (and has had solid results).
Roddick hasn't played on clay since Davis Cup in February I believe.

pardon the laughter...that was just too funny.

jsd is racking in the points this week! I'm glad Gonzo is back on track and right before a slam!!!!!!!

[shtexas]

Could I go from first place in A Month in the Sun to last place in The Slide?

Stay tuned...LOL!

Last weekend I was agonizing over not being able to switch Djokovic for Federer, and saying that Chela was wasting space on my team.

LOL. I never would have thought that Djokovic would make it further than Federer and that Chela would make the QFs. So, at least my team hasn't completely flatlined!
