You should use the "LiveScore" to determine when a match begins that will close a segment of that draw. I blew 2 segments of the draw for the 2 men's events (Anatalya and Delray Beach) at the start of January because I either forgot or wasn't aware when a match began that closed that segment of the draw. Other moments, as a courtesy I or Grav' will send a message to warn others when a match starts that will close a draw segment, or do as Grav' and Ace by making predictions even tho' the draw isn't complete so that one is never late.

Maybe one day, we will be able to close one match at a time... hmmmmm... Can we code that? possibly yes... but who's gonna watch the checkboxes? too much work. I don't think we have the resource, the time to manage such feature...

@ rex thanks for the feedback. I was going to say Ace has often recommended I do same - fill in prior.

@ Ace we possibly all have missed now and then - but methinks I need to fill in prior more.

So Serena has withdrawn - does one enter Barty as winner (still open) or leave blank? TIA

So it says open but my scores won't take - have I missed the deadline again?

You can enter Barty as winner. It remains open until the first ball is hit of a specific round.

So I got WTA and ATP wins in 2021 - main goal of the year achieved :-) (win at least one in both).
