[Oploskoffie]

And here they are: the standings after the first week!

If the image is't showing for you, let me know and I'll post the table in the "regular" way as soon as possible! Until then, the top-3 consists of:

Oploskoffie (371 points)
tenedab (356 points)
Omegadoom (321 points)

The differences in points reflect, at least in part, rather varying tactics for the contest, with some of us having (almost) all players active during the first week, while others had several non-starters to begin with, but could possibly have more trade options left later in the contest.

I am already almost 200 points behind. Guess I am out.

And some of us, like me, had no strategy at all!

It's could be quite a crazy two weeks before Wimbledon. With 9 tournaments, 5 in this second week, and (obviously) only three category A picks. If two or all three of your A picks have a bad week while someone with a different A selection gets three finalists... Things can still change - a lot.

[New England Nitemare]

Ugh...I'm in 9th place. Not looking good for me so far. I need a good week to bounce back into this contest.

[ashkor87]

Normally I am in last place after the first week..this is a big improvement for me!

Oh, you're welcomed!

And here they are: the standings after the second week!

The week's top-3 scores were:

1. New England Nitemare
2. wolfy333
3. texasniteowl

Well done you three! In the overall standings, Oploskoffie somewhat miraculously hung on to first place, texasniteowl moved up four places into the second spot and tenedab retained a place in the top-3

As some of us had already concluded, this was a week of could have, would have, should(n't) have, with traded IN players not performing as hoped, some traded OUT players winning tournaments and the rest either retiring, opting not to play our little bonus tournament (here's looking at you, Tatjana Maria..) or barely matching the scoring potential to go with their category. Who's looking forward to the Wimbledon draw?

[texasniteowl]

wow. this will likely be my high point since I missed the deadline to make any trades for this week. but yay! and good luck to everyone since it normally comes down to how our trades for Wimbledon perform!

[ponchi101]

Two weeks, two last place finishes.
Pickleball, here I come!

[New England Nitemare]

I moved from 9th to 5th, but like texasniteowl, I missed the trade deadline this week. So we shall see where I land this week.

I would be in 2nd place if I had not traded Paul for Alcaraz.

If I had only known then what I know now.

With Wimbledon starting tomorrow and still a lot of points to be earned, here are the results of and standings after week 3!

The week's top-3 scorers were:

1. Omegadoom (who moves up 7 (!) places in the rankings)
2. wolfy333
3. Jeff from TX and tenedab

Well done all of you, especially during what was a low-scoring week. The average during the first week was 274 points per contestant which dropped to 235 in week 2. That got (more than) halved this week with a mere 114 points average. Barring some exceptions (like those with Fritz on their team) most teams had to rely on their WTA players, with Oploskoffie only maintaining his lead because a) Vekic didn't win in Bad Homburg b) he had Keys on his team which was just enough to compensate for scoring a big fat 0 from his ATP selection.

So, into Wimbledon we go, with the top six potentially separated by a single tournament winning pick. Best of luck, everyone! Jolly hockey sticks 'n all that

By my unofficial count, wolfy333 will finish first in Green Acres--leaping all the way from a tie for seventh--if Krejcikova and Alcaraz win their finals. Any other combination of results, and NE nitemare will finish first after having nine players reach at least the third round plus having the gentlemen's champion and a semifinalist.

You're (very probably) not wrong but we're going to do our final round of checks before posting the official results!
