With a few hours to go, we are at 51 teamq... not the 70+ of last events, but who knows...

I see a few more new teams at tennisforum (posted a last reminder a few hours ago); I will add them just before closing the submission DL.

Hey Graveller....I just tried to submit a team, but it’s not showing up on the list. Less than 2 hrs to go before Aussie Open starts.

Looks like the TF update has had an impact on participants for the Skan. Just shy of 60, as opposed to 80's ere.

Re Skan, Shapovalov loses in 4. Ten Skanners have been damaged....

It was weird: no one was posting a team until saturday; even here it was dead silent.

And Shapovalov torpeto'ed me right from the start... I have to remember that good results at the ATP cup are worthless when it comes to predicting slam-results.
I fear that Barty may kill me off in the next days - losing the first set made me rather nervous but she recovered. But that potential R3 vs Rybakina look like a major obstacle atm. Unless Elena fails early...

Well, not doing so good atm: on the one-but-last position...
Yet only lost 1 player, and have Barty, Serena, Novak and Medvedev in my team...
My excuse: Sabalenka will only play tomorrow, and she is my 6th team member. So there is some room for improvement :-)

I have been blessed.
I first had Pegula. Then replaced her with Anisimova. Then finally switched from Anisimova to Collins. Well, Pegula and Anisimova already lost.
On the men's side, I have Beretini. Replaced him with Fognini who has miraculously survived 2 five-set matches so far. Beretini already out.
So all the players I tried and dropped are gone. God is alive. :)
