In both cases, Tennisanyone would get (a lot of) negative points for Nadal and for both losses of Keys and Osaka in the SF and F. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl#

Divan25 can move up to #3 if Nishikori does well (and maybe get to #2 if Nishikori wins the slam). Nihikori losing in the final will not get him to #2 because the current #2 tennisanyone has both Osaka and Keys (Final points), and Divan has neither of them.

But if Keys wins her SF today, I think that it all will be decided in favor of Windsongs.

And one more note: Anishmitch has both Nishikori and Keys, so will definitely get on the podium if both win the slam, but Windsongs has both too, so impossible to catch (500 points gap)

Great analysis as always, Grav!
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

So the race is not over yet... Iceprincess got within 200 points of tennis anyone; Keys and Nadal lost a lot of points for tennisanyone.

So it is now all clear: If Osaka wins this evening, then tennisanyone wins too. If not, it will be DelPo who decides: a win by the argentinian would give the San to Iceprincess in that case.

Looks like the women's final score wasn't uploaded. I'll do that now.
