Welcome everyone!

Noticed that we didn't have a competition for this yet and I used to run the old US Open tennis prediction competition on here so I thought I'd give this a go. EPY has kindly offered to help along the way

RULES[LIST][*]Each day, you must pick one player from the WTA and ATP singles main draw who are scheduled to play that day. (The order of player will be updated daily).[/LIST][LIST][*]Once you have chosen that player, you cannot pick them again for the remainder of the tournament. So picking Nadal or Serena in the earlier rounds could cost you the chance of winning the competition further down the line... but it's entirely up to you![/LIST][LIST][*]I'd like all picks to be chosen before the day's play begins. This way everybody has the same players to choose from. If you forget to pick a player before the day's play begins, you will be out of the tournament. This may seem harsh if you're only a little bit late but it's too keep it fair for everyone. Matches seem to start each day at 4pm our time.[/LIST][LIST][*]If your player wins their match, you'll be able to continue in the competition the next day. If your player loses the match, you will be eliminated.[/LIST][LIST][*]If your first choice withdraws before the match begins, or is the beneficiary of a walkover, you must provide me with a back-up pick. Please make sure you provide me with a back-up pick the same time as your first choice pick.[/LIST]
Your picks should look something like this

ATP: Rafael Nadal
Back-up: Roger Federer

WTA: Serena Williams
Back-up: Victoria Azarenka

The draws were made a while back so I'll post them after this

Me or EPY will update every day with the results to see who's still in the running.

Good luck!
