Welcome to Pick-A-Winner (PAW), the Predictions game!
Since this is the Year End Championships, this tournament is only open to the top 16 PAW players in the final 2010 Race Rankings!
Four Alternate positions will also be allocated for players ranked 17 to 20, just in case any of the top 16 players do not play the tournament. The 4 Alternate players can post PAW picks until it is determined that they cannot play in the tournament.
Playing PAW is simple. Over the course of the tournament choose any 7 matches and post who you think will win them.
Some basic guidelines:
Never edit or delete your posts. If you want to change or cancel a pick, use a new post to state your new pick .
Please try to check if a match has started before picking it. If a pick is late it is invalid and you may replace it.
If a player withdraws before the match, the pick does not count and may be replaced.
If a player retires before the first set has been completed, the pick does not count and can be replaced.
Try to number your picks. It makes my job a lot easier.
Posts should be in a format in which it is clear who you think will be the winner. For example: Player A OVER Player B or Player A DEF Player B and not Player A vs Player B or Player B loses to Player A.
Finally, please try to use the players’ real names and not their nicknames.
I would be sooooo glad if I had won so many titles,something wrong dear manager I guess~
:lol: same with mine
Good luck everyone, well done to all of us for qualifying :yeah:

Congrats to the best of the year for reaching here :yeah:
I'm glad I managed to qualify despite terrible performances in all 4 Grand Slams. This will be my last tournament for year or two! Hopefully I can at least improve on last year.
Also my information is wrong but I think Dementieva_Dude hasn't finished :p Thanks a lot for managing here!

Yes he hasn't, all personal info other than race and entry rank/points belongs to last year's participants (it is confusing though and would be better erased temporarily).
Other than a Premier title (thanks again to DulGOATru :hatoff:) and runner-up I'm not particularly satisfied with my performance this year, but hey, 2nd YEC appearance in 3 years of playing isn't bad. Now if I will ever be able to crack the top-10 after spending so much time in the top 20, that would be nice.
BTW, in my 2008 debut (http://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=360817), half the field was a clean 7-0, and in fact only one player made as much as two incorrect picks. Somehow I doubt this will happen again :p

Sorry, After taken break a long time ago since 2007 (After Wimbledon), I'm forgot to my PAW statistics and I didn't have any PAW archive. Luckily I find it on "sent" box of my email when I sent to Frozon before I left the game.

I was happy to (barely) make it here, but as it turned out, even if I'd won (and for me out of my picks there were 5 sure bets and 2 toss-ups, and I failed both), I wouldn't have good memories from this tournament :sad:
Congrats LUXXXAS for winning a second YEC title (a close one like the first (http://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=360817)) and a record-tying 11th title overall, to Smokovec for finishing the year at #1 with over 3500 ranking points (less than 3 months ago he had ~1200 and was #32), and thanks Dementieva_Dude (isn't it ironic that someone with this username of all people would be running this farewell tournament...) for an excellent work.
Good luck to all Bali players (if they are reading this), and see you next year (in my ever going quest to crack the top 10) :wavey:

I'm very happy to finish 3rd here, a big improvement from last year where I think i finished 14th. Happy to have won my 3rd title in Istanbul this year, and making 2 other finals in Miami and home tournament Bogota and Top 4 in Budapest and Copenhagen, and Top 8 in Tokyo, Indian Wells, Cincinnati, Rome and Barcelona. Next year i'll take a break but i'll be back in the future!
