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.

Djokovic ranked 4th, yet ranked 2nd in the draw???

no i meant why would you not rank the players as per the draw?

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

Wow - 51% of the teams have Venus. I just can't see it ... not with the current distraction.

Hope I'm wrong, though!
go firmly to the window
and listen with deep emotion,
but not with the whining, the pleas of the coward;
listen-your final pleasure-to the voices,
to the exquisite music of that strange procession

Mock all you want. At least my track record, even with its restrictions, is still better than yours with WTA players. 8)

Crawford, Buyukakcay, and Ahn...LOL
