    Lucky Louky, you mean? Trust the lucky Irish to draw two crocks in R1. ;-)

    Talking of shocks, my latest follower on twitter will be familiar to some of you, especially Linda. She is:

    "@danatennis - Tennis Passionate and moderator @rf.com."

    Yes, it's RoboMod herself. I almost fell off my chair! Shocked I thought for a moment that having banned us for mentioning BOTB on RF.com a few years ago (thus forcing their entrants to communicate by pm and other nefarious methods!), this might mean she had been secretly playing herself ever since, but then I realised she was following my British Tennis twitter, not my BOTB one!

    I wonder if she has mellowed, or is nice enough anyway when she's not doing Rogi's dirty work. tongue

    Herr Hitler Dana herself? Shocking! Though I did report, probably a couple of years ago now, that I thought she had mellowed - she apologised for being too hasty in deleting one of my posts on rf.com. Of course I haven't been on there for the past couple of years so have no idea what is happening on there now.

    Every winner bar Rafa at the FO I have picked has lost so picked Nole this time. Wink

    I think there's a big difference between the two tournies - if Rafa is healthy, he virtually owns RG but USO is up for grabs by anybody..

    For me it would be far worse if Del Potro won or an outside shocker who could then have a claim to be better than Andy

    I'm entered for this one and have just seen I'm up 99 to 123 in the overalls post Wimbledon. I'm pretty sure that's the highest I have ever been.

    Down 7 to 27 Crying or Very sad And I see that my highest scoring tournament currently is US Open so I really need to do well here again - but last year I was so sure of my predictions and this year I haven't a clue.

    The official USO site has it's own Bracket Challenge for both the Men's and Women's Draws here. I've created a group for us if anyone is interested...

    The Group Name is Andy Murray Fans

    and the password is chocolate donkey

    officially this comp is only open to US residents. I suppose you can still enter but you wouldn't be eligible for any of the prizes.

    Thanks Hawks - I'll join that one too. Smile

    There are certainly some interesting picks. The Youzhny vs Gulbis one is interesting I had the winner of that to get to the fourth round.

    What's up with the serial gorilla-botherers these days? I couldn't believe my eyes last night when I noticed that Sally (up 42 to WR 38) is now higher-ranked than me (down 14 to WR 42, having been the only player never to have finished a year outside the top 20 before :sad:) - that must be a sign of the apocalypse! (or a sign that I should give up while I'm behind!)

    You wouldn't catch us discriminating like that - the advantage of not having any prizes except honour and bragging rights LOL
