Tier 1: Clear Blue Sky
Tier 2: Cirrostratus
Tier 3: Nimbostratus
Tier 4: Cumulonimbus


Cloud types and increased chances of rain seem appropriate for the UK.

There is no rush, Ace. Wimby starts Monday, 5:30 a.m. CDT here in the Midwest. One has nearly 3 days to submit their team..... :)

Modified my team; keeping the ATP picks, but replaced two WTA players...

Pliskova is a no-brainer: she can go deep, so I picked her over Gavrilova (wo has a tough draw and was not that super in Eastbourne).

And I saw Kerber and she was playing prrobably her best tennis of 2017. So I 'll go with her (few other do so too, so this could be a winning strategy). And she replaces Venus in my team who could be affected by the car accident.

We know the ranking a week a head of the slam. We don't know the seed.
