I hope he shows up tomorrow as well. Murray with Rome title makes me nauseous

Just tuned in. Did he really play that good or Tankovic still haven't decided whether to tank or not?

Future GOAT for sure. At least I believe all of them will make top 100 occasionally with such field.

What a draw for Murray in Rome. Kukushkin, Chardy, Goffin, Pouille to play in final

I hope they'll enjoy in women's tennis success in upcoming years.

With title in Samarkand, Khachanov come much closer to top 100. Great improvement this season. Unlike Rublev who is worse than two years ago -.- Safiullin started very well on Pro tour, but injury really slowed him back. He again retired from qualifying match in Tallahassee three weeks ago... Fourth young Russian is climbing up the rankings very fast. With few great results in recent months, Daniil Medvedev is getting closer to top 200.

Nouvelle Vague - Dance With Me

You know what? I pray Novak withdraws now. Matches against both of them are not necessary. Especially because I think Murray could actually win this time. He is the most dangerous opponent for Novak.

Too many errors from Thiem. And I really hope he withdraws from Nice. It would be too much

Watch me doing even worse in tennis If @heywoodu wins tennis again...

Nishikori is really consistent this year. Probably new clash with Djokovic. Great points from both, Dominic and Kei. If only Dominic made less unforced errors...

I definitely like Open contests more and by a wide margin.

You didn't predict Norway-Sweden match if that's what you mean. But unfortunately, you cannot predict it now without any penalty.

Prediction Contests Are Just-For-Fun Games "Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature" Competition Details City Paris Start Date May 22nd, 2016 End Date June 5th, 2016 Participants 35 Gold rybak OL Silver gvaisakh Bronze OlympicsFan Instructions In order to post your predictions, you have to do the following: Select with your mouse specified content of the Post named Prediction Contest Design Copy the selected content Go to Reply Box at the end of the Page, click on "Reply to this topic" Paste the copied content (When information "You have pasted content with formatting" appears at the end of the Reply Box, ignore it, it will disappear eventually. DO NOT click on "Remove formatting" under any circumstances) Once you have specified content in new Post, start making your predictions according to the Rules To post your predictions, click on "Submit Reply" button Rules This Prediction Contest consists of two parts. In the first part of the Contest, you are predicting only winning players for First, Second, Third and Fourth Rounds, not scores. To do that, you have to Copy/Paste or Type the name of the Athlete from the first Column (named First Round) into appropriate Cells in Columns named First Round Winner, Second Round Winner, Third Round Winner and Fourth Round Winner. NOTE: When you Copy/Paste or Type the names, PLEASE, make it sure that the names you are entering in empty cells are THE SAME AS THE NAMES IN PREDICTION DESIGN TABLE. In other words, if you have "Petra Kvitova (2)" in first column, you should have "Petra Kvitova (2)" through your draw, and not "P. Kvitova" or only "Petra Kvitova". If you see only "Novak Djokovic (1)" PLEASE, don't write "Novak Đoković" or "Novak Djoković" Just copy/paste as you see it. Example Women's Singles First Round First Round Winner Second Round Winner Victoria Azarenka Victoria Azarenka Petra Kvitova (2) Sabine Lisicki Petra Kvitova (2) Petra Kvitova (2) Marina Erakovic Scoring system for the first part of the Contest: For each correct First Round Winner you will earn - 1 Point For each correct Second Round Winner you will earn - 2 Points For each correct Third Round Winner you will earn - 4 Points For each correct Fourth Round Winner you will earn - 8 Points You don't need to have both players correct for a particular match in order to earn Points. If any match finishes with walkover - it won't be counted. If any match finishes with retirement of one player, it still will be counted. In the second part of the Contest, which starts with Quarterfinals, you are predicting both - a Winner and a Set Score for each match. From Semifinals onward, you will predict Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles matches as well. To do that, you have to write in empty Cells a number of Sets won by each Athlete (or Doubles Team). If your prediction is that Athlete 1 is going to win, you should type appropriate number of Sets won by that player (3 for Men's Singles, 2 for all other categories) in appropriate Cell of A1 Column and do the same for Athlete 2 of that match-up. If your prediction is that Athlete 2 is going to win, then do the same accordingly. Example Women's Singles Quarterfinals Date and Venue Athlete 1 A1 A2 Athlete 2 June 1st, h. 11:00, Philippe Chatrier, Paris Fatma Al Nabhani 2 1 Zarah Razafimahatratra June 1st, h. 13:00, Philippe Chatrier, Paris Lesedi Sheya Jacobs 0 2 Steffi Carruthers Scoring system for the second part of the Contest: Quarterfinals 10 Points - Correct Winner+Correct Set Ratio 6 Points - Correct Winner+Wrong Set Ratio 0 Points - Wrong Winner Semifinals 12 Points - Correct Winner+Correct Set Ratio 8 Points - Correct Winner+Wrong Set Ratio 0 Points - Wrong Winner Finals 14 Points - Correct Winner+Correct Set Ratio 10 Points - Correct Winner+Wrong Set Ratio 0 Points - Wrong Winner If any match finishes with walkover - it won't be counted. If any match finishes with retirement of one player - you will earn points only for correct winner. TB Rules If two or more contestants have the same number of points at the end, Tie-Break rule will be applied to break the tie. Number or perfect predictions from Quarterfinals to Finals will be compared for the involved contestants. If involved contestants are still tied, number of correct winners from Quarterfinals to Finals will be compared, then number of correct Fourth Round Winners, and so on. Example Contestant 1: 4, 8, 9, 3 Contestant 2: 4, 8, 8, 4 Contestant 1 will be placed ahead of Contestant 2. Contestant with most points wins the competition. The Ranking is determined by the Sum of Points the Contestant scores in all predicted Matches. You can enter the Contest whenever you want. The moment you post your predictions is the moment when you are entering the Contest and your points will be calculated for all the matches you predicted AND which haven't started. In order to earn points from the start, you should post your predictions before the start of the first match of the Tournament - May 22nd, h. 11:00 (GMT +2). If you want to use Jolly in this Prediction Contest (which will double your Points for General Standings), Copy and Paste the following picture at the top of your Prediction Post. You can add Jolly in your Post until the start of the first Match of the Prediction Contest. You can't remove a Jolly you have submitted after the start of the first Match of the Prediction Contest. You can EDIT your predictions whenever you want until the start of the first match of the Prediction Design Post. Once competition starts, you are not allowed to edit your post and any further changes will be ignored. On contestant's request, edited predictions will be accepted, but contestant will earn 0 points for finished matches and the matches that have started. Moment at the latest editing will be considered as the entry moment, in other words. Qualifiers: If it happens that the main draws are already known, but qualifiers are yet to be determined and their placement in the draw, you can fill in the draw according to the Rules (meaning - you are putting in Qualifier 10 if Qualifier 10 appears in the first Column). Once qualifiers are placed in the draw, I will put the names in Prediction Design post. If there is still time to edit your predictions, you are allowed to do so. In Tennis there is always possibility of Draw Changes because of late Withdrawals. If there will be such late changes, all "new" 1st Round Matches involving all moved Athletes will not be counted. It means you can receive Points for right predicted 1st Round winning Athlete only if the Match started with both Athletes from the Prediction Design Table. You will be allowed to edit your Predictions (if you want) for the 2nd to 4th Round Matches involving moved Athletes, but only before the start of the first Match of the 2nd Round. All other editing will be ignored. But please - before you edit, send a PM to the manager, otherwise editing will be ignored completely. You can fill in Men's and Women's Singles Draws in separate posts if you want to. If you want to comment on this Prediction Contest, please use Prediction Contests - Discussion Thread 2016 only. If you have problem with the format, you can post your predictions in simplified format. Also, if the forum is down, or you cannot access the forum for any reason, you can send you predictions on e-mail: totallympics.predictions@gmail.com. Make sure your predictions are understandable. For instance, S. Williams 2-1 means Serena Williams wins 2-1. Williams 2 means nothing. And please, write your Totallympics username so the contest manager can know who actually sent predictions. Every contestant MUST HIDE own predictions. To do that, you have only to delete the space between the bracket "[" and the text "hide" in "[ hide]" at the beginning of prediction post. Do the same with "[ /hide]" at the end of prediction post too. The hidden content will appear to other users as follows: [hide]You cannot see this[/hide] If you have any other questions concerning this prediction contest, problems with format, editing etc... please, contact the contest manager via Personal Message.

There you go, everything is updated. I hope I didn't make (m)any mistake(s). If I did so, feel free to point them out And, please, read the rules carefully and beware when you have to predict FULL score and when to fill in prediction design with only goal/point differences. I am talking to you @africaboy @mihamiha @ady48 One more thing: it is kinda difficult for me to manage table properly so I might post the results in different format. If anyone can find some shortcuts and make it easier to format the table, I will be very grateful.

Not sure. There are many Spaniards in play. I will post race rankings (both ATP and WTA) after Rome, definitely.
