2015 Wimbledon 'Suicide' Competition (Monday 29th June)
The usual thanks to everyone who has organised it previously: JustWonderful, davethecue, EPY and fab cesc.
RULES 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 play will be updated daily). Once you have chosen that player, you cannot pick them again for the remainder of the tournament. So picking Novak 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! 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. (I may allow for some discretion if the first match of the day is midway through the first set. ) 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. 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. If your player's match is suspended until the next day of play, that still counts as your pick for that day. If he loses the next day you will be eliminated. However, you must still provide a pick for the next day's scheduled matches. Eg. if your Day 5 pick's match gets suspended, you should assume that he/she will win and pick from the Day 6 scheduled matches. Your picks should look something like this: ATP: Novak Djokovic Back-up: Roger Federer WTA: Serena Williams Back-up: Victoria Azarenka For any new players, here's the comps from last year for an idea of how it goes: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1929497 http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1965169 http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1974861 http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2001826 Previous Winners Australian Open 2013 ATP : JustWonderful 2013 WTA : Mr E! / topgooner 2014 ATP: javjamoll84 / yakutz / Cuishla / omgwtfbbq 2014 WTA: Cissy Fairfax / jake1981 2015 ATP: Cissy Fairfax 2015 WTA: davethecue French Open 2013 ATP : Magpie11 / fatsi 2013 WTA : Dizzle 2014 ATP: Mike Teevee 2014 WTA: EPY 2015 ATP: Janielovesyou / Hayden / dean michael 2015 WTA: charlieparr Wimbledon 2013 ATP: Mike Teevee / Bhaveshghor 2013 WTA: EPY / Cuishla / ellieb123 / javjamoll84 2014 ATP: fab cesc 2014 WTA: Cissy Fairfax / Stunty US Open 2012 ATP : dean michael 2012 WTA : DimSum 2013 ATP: tso 2013 WTA: Mike Teevee 2014 ATP: dean michael 2014: WTA: Janielovesyou Wimbledon!

There are 2 Pliskova's BTW, but I think only one is playing tomorrow, but might be best to differentiate them

If you're talking about the Stephens/Strycova and Broady/Marino matches then yes you're allowed to pick from them. I'd be shocked if they didn't get on tomorrow with the weather that's expected.
