US Open Bracket Challenge

[matt_897]

Time for a game on this forum. It's very simple, basically a fill in the draw on who you think is going to win from first round all the way to the final. Points are given every round on the winners you pick and the points increase as the round go further on. Pretty simple really.

Here's the website:

Sign up and join the public group Bigfooty and we'll find out who knows the most/has best guessing skills. Picks have to be in by 1am Tuesday Morning and you can pick both men's and women's draws.

I'll get an account badge made up for the winner.

Don't post much on the Tennis forum and have never done one of these Bracket thingys but I signed up anyway...

Think I'm onto a good thing with my Tomic vs Donald Young final.
Hardest pick was probably finding a winner between "Qualifier 6" and "Qualifier 7".

 

[matt_897]

Got 5 hours or so to get your picks in.

Phew, just got in, had to rush my picks a bit tho. 1 in 6 chance still

Had Clijsters in the quarters, that one will hurt.

Had Tsonga in the quarters, but I'm guessing a lot of people did. I also had Kerber in the semis and she's down 2-4 in the final set against Venus. A loss here would certainly hurt.

My bracket starting to look ordinary. warsaw leading the comp with 190 points.

 

[juzzo]

Massive points for the final rounds so everyone still in it.

Could come down to the mens champion...3 people picked Novak while 2 went for Federer.

Li Na's loss pretty much ruined my Women's bracket.

 

[Big Tezza]

I had Kvitova reaching the final, so my women's bracket is wrecked as well. Having had a quick look at who everyone else picked, it seems I'm not the only one though.

After having a look at others there are some strange picks! Stosur as champion(yes i know she won last year), Hewitt in a semi and someone didn't pick the champion at all.

I was feeling Patriotic.

 

[juzzo]

Looks like I win, given nobody picked Murray.

Congrats to juzzo for winning the challenge. He won by a pretty solid 18 points and got the bets score for the women and the men.
