The 2018 Aussie Skan is hereRound 2 is fait accompli. Highlights: *SpaceBarSlam holds the lead with 584 points, followed by Sharapovalov at 576 and PingPong0_ at 574 *30 of 91 teams are still fully intact. Very commendable given the widespread carnage *Best performers: Pliskova [15 teams]; Kerber [bandwagon 50 teams]; Nadal [45 teams]; Dkovovic [47 teams] *Worst performers: Venus [13 teams]; Raonic [3 teams]; Coco [14 teams]; Wawrinka [5 teams]; Cibulkova [1 team] *Sharapova has also been a rewarding pick, already picking up Q points for 9 teams. Bencic also did that for 3 teams in R1, but her flame-out in R2 has made her a liability rather than an asset. *Rumour has it Djokovic pickers sweated as much as he did in the win over Monfils 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 Round 3 is carved in stone. Highlights .... *we are down to 20 fully intact teams after three rounds. I say that's a pretty high number, all things considered. Still anybody's ball of wax ... *rex has bounced back into first place, somewhat unusual for the SKAN. rex leads with 975 points, followed by patrick [964] and Pingpong0_ [963]. *rex' leading team comprises: 1.

Pliskova 6. Garcia *kudos to Pyotr, who despite being in 81st place, leads all contestants with 49 Quality Points. Go figure! *the points range by tier are: 1.

[bottom 27]: "Gotterdammerung": from 648 to RandomSkan's 129 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 Round 4 is a wrap. Highlights .... *no more fully intact teams! That went down fast! But now we have 18 that have 5 of 6 still active, including all top tier contestants. *new leader Omegadoom also leads the domination category with 750 points. The Quality category leader is Texasniteowl with 65 points [thanks to the efforts of Federer 2 Kerber 0 [well, not so much on her account] Wozniacki 14 Kyrgios 18 Pliskova 14 Dimitrov 17 *As mentioned, Omegadoom leads [1394 points], followed by Hash [1378] and Windsongs [1367] as the other podium contenders. *Omegadoom's leading team comprises: Name D V Q Total Federer 168 110 2 280 Svitolina 215 110 0 325 Nadal 160 110 7 277 Kerber 115 110 0 225 Wozniacki 69 110 14 193 Djokovic 23 60 11 94 Total 750 610 34 1394 *the points range by tier are: 1.

[bottom 27]: "Cut Throat": from 877 to RandomSkan's 225 *RandomSkan still has Keys. Will she be enough to pull him out of last place? 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
Re:The 2018 Aussie Skan is hereI'm number one at the moment and it makes no sense! I thought I was done after losing Anderson on day 1. But could have definitely used a Svitolina win yesterday. Last edited by 93tennisroyalty on Jan Tue 23, 2018 3:26 pm, edited 1 time in total. |
