Barring a massive shock I think ATP comp stays the same.

It'll get tougher now though

ATP: Stan Wawrinka (SUI)
Back up: Juan Martin del Potro (ARG)
okay so I got that wrong, think I might change my picks now.

It would appear we have the same available picks left. The safe thing to do is match your choices, but where's the fun in that?

I'll do the opposite, which is a big risk considering how well Gael is playing.

ATP: Pouille
Back up: Djokovic

May the best man win, generally that means Novak though

I thought of doing that but Pouilles lengthy 5 setter made me think twice, bold move sir you probably deserve it for taking a risk.

Karolina Pliskova's tight three set win over Venus Williams therefore ensures that jake1981 is the sole survivor. Nicely done.

It's looking like my gamble isn't going to pay off.

If that's the case well done Sean and thanks Nathers for running the comp.

As much as I want Jo to pull off a shock, I can't see Novak losing later.

Pouille couldn't maintain the kind of form that toppled Nadal and lost in straight sets to Monfils.

Tsonga's retirement from two sets down ensures that after 9 days, seansnotmyname@ is the winner. Great job

Cheers for another fun comp everyone and the thank you messages
