Lets play a game. I'll keep the score. Simple rules:

- 3 predictions per round until QF, SF and F where all needs to be predicted
- Correct predictions gives you the point for that round
- Correct prediction against a seed gives you double the points for that round.
- The one with the most points at the end of US Open wins
- You can start playing at any stage of the game and still win
- Play safe or take chances
- Predictions must be made prior to match start
- Posts cannot be edited by anyone
- I will edit the posts and color Red for wrong predictions and Green for correct prediction

[Corbon]

Remember when Rosol beat Nadal and after the slump that followed no one would expect him to rise much higher?

He won Winston-Salem now and reached the top 32.

Updated. If I miss anything - let me know.

That match Kyrgios vs Youzhny was very nice. Good start for the tournament and an opening for Kyrgios to make a run.

[Lucian86]

I've missed the first day.

- Dodig to beat Lopez(19) 10+10
- Federer to beat Matosevic 10
- Istomin to beat Gasquet (12) 10+10

You didnt really miss anything. It is 3 prediction per round....today is still the first round But even if you miss a round, the way its built is that you will always have a chance.

At this point in time - with Nadal out, Federer aged, Djokovic unfocused, Murray sucking -- the women's game of tennis -- dare I say -- is more interesting than the men's game.

Before I duck and run for cover...

Proof that I am absolutely correct: Tsonga won the Toronto Masters.

... ducks and runs for cover (just to be safe).

[djarvik]

Good point. When French players start winning big tournament - you know the weak era is coming...

[costiiforzaa]

David Ferrer to defeat Damir Dzumhur 10
Ivan Dodig to upset Feliciano Lopez 10+10
Federer to defeat Matosevic 10
