imaginative.

Jay's chart did not include the final match which lifted me to 3rd and with all my ten men left which I'll take given 1st and 2nd have both lost 1 player. Unfortunately Ace! also rose and is just 3 points behind me and also has not lost any of his men. Its so tight though with 10 of us within 20 points this has a long way to run.

I've got hardly anyone left on my women's team!

I've only lost 1 man so far but still have 6 to play in the second round so a lot rests on today for me

Thanks Jay!

Thnaks Jay and thanks for putting links to everyone's teams.

Oh wow! I didn't notice they were links. That's fantastic!

To the top at the end of round 3 and still 6 men standing.

Assuming Nevets does not count for CofC I think this is almost in the bag seeing as Cazza and Ace do not have any players left that are not also in my picks and even Hawkeye has only Ferrer instead of my Djokovic and Tsonga. Linda is the first person with anything really significantly different to me and has Nadal and Ferrero to my Murray, Tsonga, Fish and Isner and as she is also over 100 points down I can't really see a pass there. I hope pride is not coming before a fall.

Once again my qualifiers and wild cards have done me proud with 7 wins from the four and Young still aiming to improve on that. My only poor pick so far considering the money spent was Del Potro though Murray and Djoko still need to go a few more rounds to live up to their full cost.

Edit - just realised of course I do want Young to lose next time as I have just seen who the opponent is for Andy next round! 7 wins for my qualifiers and wid cards is plenty would not want to be greedy!

Trying to work out if I'm being insulted!

Feel free to insult me about my women's team though...

No insult implied just bad English in that you are the third AM.comer (or waht ever we are now) below me and the first who does not have all picks remaining the same as me but you only have 1 different

See what you mean about your pathetic womens picks though.

Well done Yorkie - you are 6th in the overall mens.

I hadn't noticed that but have unfortunately dropped to 8th after the Tipsy match

Edit - but have risen back to 6th after Djoko and the Tsonga v Fish match is looking high scoring and as I have both and they have just gone 1 set all. Would love this to go to 5 sets and (for pickem reasons) Fish to win in the decider.

Edit 2 - well I have my 5 setter so both Fish and Tsonga will be scoring well for me her. Now can Fish take the 5th set to be perfect for my pickem as well.

There are times when you should say enough is enough and I should have asked for Fish in 4 to preserve my pickem. To me I think it looks like I have this sewn up unless I lose all my men in the quarter finals and even then I might make it.

Andy and Isner to win today for this comp with Ferrer being required for pickem. Whilst theoretically a five setter for Andy would be great for me here as I also have Young I'll much prefer a short 3 setter and let Andy improve in Rondun's tennis golf.

you are now 3rd in the mens' overall Yorkie.

My team seem to have suddenly been stricken with food poisoning or something, there's hardly anyone left.

Still in 3rd place overall and looking at a few pwople around me I think I should do well overall particularly if Andy and Djoko reach the final.

Kerber's win means I still have two women alive in this.

Down to 4th in the overall mens and the one person who passed me thanks to Tipsy has the same picks as me so the absolute best i could do is second now. Oh well maybe a top ten position is still on particular if we end up with what I now definitely want a Djoko v Andy final

after the andy rafa matches today it should all be back on an even keel we can see whats what

plkayers out on court
cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnn andyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

up to second on the overall mens and as the first person below with Rafa is 47 points behind and they don't have Djokovic it looks like second may be my final position

Stunning score, Yorkie

Although I'm not doing great, I've still got two men and one woman left in!
