2009! Bracket pool (UPCOMING: US OPEN)

[falafaclese]

I'm about to run out for a couple of hours, but I can set it up when I get back, unless someone else wants to do it.

Alright!

ATP Pool
and . . .
WTA Pool

You have until 7am EST on Monday to enter and make your picks. The more the merrier, so everyone into the pool!

I had Blake going to the semi too...

I must have been sniffing glue without realising... *sigh*

[lt]

Bwah! I had both Blake and Feli making it to the fourth round! Yikes!

[tikigirl]

Blake? Is a gigantic slut. Because I think he just screwed all of us...simultaneously.

[mooncreek]

See, I figured the section Blake was in until the 4th was so screwed up that I was doomed to be wrong no matter what I picked.

If Blake is a gigantic slut, then what is Feli? I had him to the 4th as well.

[falafaclese]

Lopez held out until the last minute, and then screwed us all in the end, which makes him . . . err, never mind.

Forgive me.

Okay, after the completion of the first round, the leaders of the two pools are as follows:

ATP: Me, Splat, and Wrinklestiltskin
WTA: LT

[vallegirl]

HEY! I'm #2 on the WTA list. I'm usually dead last so, show a newb some love.

[mooncreek]

I learned never to edit brackets when tired. I had trouble posting initally so I had to edit it three times. Well, I just noticed it really fucked up the final time because I was certain I had Roddick in the semis and Wawrinka in the 4th round. The Roddick one especially pisses me off now after today - the mistake isn't even the quarterfinal match but losing in the round of 16 to Davydenko! I throw my hands in the air.

Sorry vallegirl, I was only posting the names of the people in first place, but I think I'll do 1st, 2nd and 3rd place from now on!

Now that the second round has wound down, the leaders are as follows:

WTA
1st place - LT
2nd place - tikigirl
3rd place - me and vallegirl


ATP
1st place - tikigirl
2nd place - me and splat
3rd place - agentx

Edited to correct the standings for the ATP pool.

[vallegirl]

Ha. Just misread the ATP and thought it was the top three, not a tie for #1. Derr. Maybe I should learn to read better. Public school failed me.

[falafaclese]

Here are the leaders as we head into the second week:

WTA
1st place - LT
2nd place - tikigirl
3rd place - me


ATP
1st place - splat
2nd place - agentx and Wrinklestiltskin
3rd place - tikigirl

[falafaclese]

Ok, I missed the post-4th round update, but here's where we are after the women's quarterfinals:

WTA
1st place - tikigirl
2nd place - lt
3rd place - mooncreek


ATP
1st place - agentx
2nd place - splat
3rd place - Wrinklestiltskin

The what-if scenarios for the WTA pool have been posted, so don't forget to take a look to see if you have a chance of winning.

[falafaclese]

Ok for obvious reasons, the women's standings haven't changed after the men's quarterfinals, but here are the ATP standings:

ATP
1st place - agentx
2nd place - vallegirl
3rd place - splat

Check out the what-ifs. Interestingly, the only two people who can possibly win the ATP pool at this point are agentx , and vallegirl, so it looks like we have a showdown!

[mooncreek]

It doesn't even matter what happens in the Fed/Haas match (everybody has Roger for the title) so the Andys battle will decide it.

WTA after semis:

1st - tikigirl (will win pool if Venus wins)
2nd - mooncreek (will win pool if Serena wins)
3rd - exo13
