may the best FM win...... so long as it's me

See, I'm a bit different from Mike, because I have a feeling that the winner's coming from the top...
I've got to choose between Bartoli, Stephens and Kvitova. Kvitova I want to keep for the semis- but eesh... Stephens or Bartoli. I have no idea... Or do I risk picking Radwanska or Li? I can't choose between them either. Yuck.
Here goes

WTA: Bartoli Back up: Radwanska

Day 8, WTA

Pick: Lisicki
Back-up: Li

WTA
A. Radwanska
Back up: Kvitova

(It's difficult but I can't limit myself too much...)

Novak Djokovic (1) v Tomas Berdych (7)
David Ferrer (4) v Juan Martin del Potro (8)

Lukasz Kubot v Jerzy Janowicz (24)
Fernando Verdasco v Andy Murray (2)

Matches start from 1pm tomorrow.

ATP: Jerzy Janowicz
Reserve: Juan Martin del Potro

Hard luck Mike, still in the men's comp though.

Day 9 -

ATP - David Ferrer
Back Up - Novac Djokovic

Hmmm, looks like this shall be the end of the road for me after the semi finals as I only have Lisicki left to choose...! Damn Kvitova losing out!

So final pick shall be S. Lisicki for day 10.

yep I underestimated to quirky Bartoli.

I fear my heart my rule my head and I'll balls up the men's competition now

we'll see....

okay here goes...

ATP
Jerzy Janowicz

Back up
Juan Martin del Potro

Well my strategy to win this game is in ruins, as the two I expected to contest the Ladies' final have both gone out. I have only two players left to pick from, neither of whom I have much confidence in getting through against opponents I have picked in previous rounds.

Oh well.

Day 10 pick, WTA, Flipkens.

Obviously backup is Radwanska.

Stranger things have happened this tournament.

bugger, my back up ATP choice is looking bad now

If Del Potro retires in this set, I'll have to take fatsi's back-up pick of Djokovic.

Why what's going on? I'm not near a tv but have got the score on my phone as Ferrer being 1 set down and 0-0 in 2nd set.

Del Potro hyperextended his knee in the first game, it didn't look like he'd be able to carry on.

Looks like he's going to be okay though, he's won the first set 6-2.

Thanks EPY

Well... Kvitova messed me right up!

So my choice is Lisicki. Back up... Ummm- well I'll say Radwanska. I have no other choice!! Can I even do that?!

Nothing wrong with Del Potro its all a bluff

Oh well couldn't repeat my feat of the French Open

Thanks for the comp EPY and good luck to Mike and Bhaveshgor

Ferrer's defeat means that fatsi is out for now, but they could still become joint winners.

It all depends on the outcome of Janowicz and Kubot.

Mike Teevee and Bhavesh have both chosen Janowicz, so If Kubot manages to cause an upset against his compatriot, it would Mike, Bhavesh and fatsi would share the prize.

so exciting, I've never won anything

edit: bar the odd lottery win, school prizes, other competitions etc etc

So fatsi is officially out of the ATP comp with Janowicz's win.

Mike was fortunate that Murray was able to beat Verdasco, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make a pick for the final.

Bhaveshgor and Mike can PM me their picks, they can both choose from Djokovic, Murray and Del Potro.

God the picks are getting very difficult to pick now, Djokovic got a very tough game against Del Potro, and I think Janowicz can course murray lots of problems, Especially with his serve.
Good luck Mike.

I'm left with the same choice well since I think Lisicki is the only way we can share in the victory now, I'm going to join you in choosing her

Day 10: Sabine Lisick
