2025 Around the World: The VIP Lounge

[Oploskoffie]

While traveling the globe with your players, make sure to stop by and mingle with fellow contestants. Whether you want to discuss strategy, complain about the underperforming players on your team (or just throw some darts at the custom-made dartboards with said players' faces on them), grab a drink and sit in a corner or gloat about how fantastic your category D picks are doing: you're welcome any time of day, all competition long.

If you havent already and the entry deadline hasn't passed: enter your team here and make sure to read the How it works! first

So, a quick heads-up/reminder about ye olde deadline. As far as I can tell from the ABN AMRO Open website, it is as previously mentioned 11 AM CET. That's 2 AM in Los Angeles and 6 PM in Beijing

I gave Medvedev one last chance. He had a cupcake draw.
Time to really write him off. And one trade wasted.

[Oploskoffie]

Agree, agree. I was sooooooooooo tempted to put him on my team, then opted for a different strategy at the last moment. I'm not saying that THAT is going fantastic but still probably better than would otherwise have been the case going forward

BTW. We need a TRADES topic. Or at least, I do.

You're very right - apologies for the delay (though I at least partly get to blame my ISP)

Random observation from the scoring office: before trades, a total of 52 different players was selected Guess that's what comes with the mix of hardcourt and gravel tournaments, but still...

[Oploskoffie]

Some interesting developments in this week's scoring, with Zverev, Fritz and Medvedev out before the final, two people with Humbert on their team, one with Davidovich Fokina and of course, looking ahead, Sinner ruled out as an option for the upcoming tournaments. Looking forward to seeing which trades will be made!

[ashkor87]

All of us will waste a trade because Sinner is suspended...

[ponchi101]

Not all of us. I never had him in.
Because I was going to slide him in this week. Not that I was any smart, just lucky.

[texasniteowl]

Well...so much for putting de Minaur in for weeks 3 and 4. What a waste.

[FredX]

At least it was only one trade. I traded in Djokovic for week three then traded him in for Rublev for week 4...
