Australian Open Daily Predictions Results 13 Jan 2012 11:28 #19679

I will be running this in viva's absence - first set of predictions will appear on Sunday (for Monday play).

Do take part if you can (up to 3 systems allowed), the more the merrier!
Hopefully everyone is feeling fresh and raring to go for the first slam of the year

If anyone is playing this for the first time and wants me to outline how it works let me know

i never usually get to play this because of my varying shifts throughout the week, but ive entered the official AO one and you get daily reminders on facebook so i should be able to keep track on this one!! plus the start times at 11pm make it easier to get your picks in

Good to have you on board Liam

I anticipate posting the predictions most days around 9 or 10am GMT each day assuming the next day's order of play has been posted by then, which going by previous years it normally is

Play is scheduled to start at 11am local time (midnight GMT) so that should give everyone a good 12 hours+ to get their predictions in.

Re: Australian Open Daily Predictions Results 13 Jan 2012 16:18 #19686

Won't be able to play as my Barbados holiday - yeah, I hate to mention it again - begins on Friday. However will be representing CC on the BOTB.

Thanks again for running this Mojo, it's much appreciated.

The boyfriend and myself are currently in Tel Aviv and we're heading to India in a couple of days. I'll do my best to take part, but if I could have the system for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday that would be great.

Well I had a late night and am hungover as hell so it's back to bed for me. Later all...

Day 1 Results:

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Victoria Azarenka(BLR)[3] d. Heather Watson(GBR) 6-1 6-1
Kim Clijsters(BEL)[11] d. Maria Joao Koehler(POR) 7-5 6-1
Agnieszka Radwanska(POL)[8] d. Bethanie Mattek-Sands(USA) 6-7(10) 6-4 6-2
Daniela Hantuchova(SVK)[20] d. Varvara Lepchenko(USA) 4-6 6-3 6-2
Na Li(CHN)[5] d. Ksenia Pervak(KAZ) 6-3 6-1
Caroline Wozniacki(DEN)[1] d. Anastasia Rodionova(AUS) 6-2 6-1
Jelena Jankovic(SRB)[13] d. Laura Robson(GBR) 6-2 6-0
Eleni Daniilidou(GRE) d. Kimiko Date-Krumm(JPN) 6-3 6-2

MEN'S SINGLES
Juan Martin Del Potro(ARG)[11] d. Adrian Mannarino(FRA) 2-6 6-1 7-5 6-4
Bernard Tomic(AUS) d. Fernando Verdasco(ESP)[22] 4-6 6-7(3) 6-4 6-2 7-5
Rafael Nadal(ESP)[2] d. Alex Kuznetsov(USA) 6-4 6-1 6-1
David Nalbandian(ARG) d. Jarkko Nieminen(FIN) 6-4 4-2 ret *VOID*
Roger Federer(SUI)[3] d. Alexander Kudryavtsev(RUS) 7-5 6-2 6-2
Philipp Kohlschreiber(GER) d. Juan Monaco(ARG)[25] 7-5 4-6 6-3 6-7(4) 6-0
Grigor Dimitrov(BUL) d. Jeremy Chardy(FRA) 4-6 6-3 3-6 6-4 6-4
Ivo Karlovic(CRO) d. Jurgen Melzer(AUT)[31] 7-6(3) 7-5 6-3


A reasonable start for everyone and we all beat the system (25 points for anyone who missed day 1 and wants to start from Tuesday).

Scoring was high in the women's matches, courtesy of straight sets wins for Sonarenka, Kim, Li and Pushniacki. None of us predicted Dani dropping a set and we all went for Date-Krumm instead of Daniilidou.

Scoring was lower in the men's matches courtesy of three 5-setters, although this was propped up with straight sets wins for Fedal. Del P dropping a set took everyone by surprise and noone picked a straight sets win for Dr.Ivo over Melzer. A special mention goes to liam and Nevets who got Dimitrov's 5-set win spot-on.

Scores:
1= Nevets, mojo - 30 pts
3 Big AL - 29
4= MrI, viva - 28
6= Dark, Fah, liam - 27
9 NL - 26

Normally at this stage I'm way off the pace drifting away in last place. We're all pretty close after day 1 - still, I've gone for a couple of risky ones (Roddick losing to Haase!) so we'll see...

Re: Australian Open Daily Predictions Results 17 Jan 2012 13:55 #19924

Day 2 Results:

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Petra Kvitova(CZE)[2] d. Vera Dushevina(RUS) 6-2 6-0
Maria Sharapova(RUS)[4] d. Gisela Dulko(ARG) 6-0 6-1
Sorana Cirstea(ROU) d. Samantha Stosur(AUS)[6] 7-6(2) 6-3
Vera Zvonareva(RUS)[7] d. Alexandra Dulgheru(ROU) 7-6(4) 6-7(5) 6-3
Marion Bartoli(FRA)[9] d. Virginie Razzano(FRA) 7-5 6-0
Maria Kirilenko(RUS)[27] d. Jarmila Gajdosova(AUS) 6-4 6-2

MEN'S SINGLES
Novak Djokovic(SRB)[1] d. Paolo Lorenzi(ITA) 6-2 6-0 6-0
Andy Murray(GBR)[4] v Ryan Harrison(USA) 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-2
Janko Tipsarevic(SRB)[9] d. Dmitry Tursunov(RUS) 5-7 7-6(12) 6-3 6-4
Andy Roddick(USA)[15] d. Robin Haase(NED) 6-3 6-4 6-1
Richard Gasquet(FRA)[17] d. Andreas Seppi(ITA) 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-1
Milos Raonic(CAN)[23] d. Filippo Volandri(ITA) 6-4 6-0 6-2
Nicolas Mahut(FRA) d. Radek Stepanek(CZE)[29] 7-5 7-5 6-3
Michael Llodra(FRA) d. Ernests Gulbis(LAT) 2-6 6-1 6-2 6-2


A lower scoring day than yesterday; we all missed Stosur's and Stepanek's demise We all picked up 3 points courtesy of Kvitova, Bartoli and Djoko
Special mention to Nevets who picked Llodra over Gulbis - everyone else went for Gulbis (do we never learn? ) and although everyone picked Murray I was the only one of us to predict he would drop a set to Harrison.
MrI predicted his own demise in picking Roddick to lose which wasn't as bad as it seemed - everyone else picked Roddick but we all thought Haase would take a set off of him!

1= Nevets, Dark (system), viva (system) - 27

Bernard Tomic(AUS) d. Sam Querrey(USA) 3-6 6-3 7-6(3) 6-3


Overall the highest scoring day so far and despite two voids! We all got 3 points courtesy of Pushniacki, Sonarenka, Li, Kim, Rafa and Del P. Noone predicted Fran's defeat and only viva chose Benesova over Peng. Special mentions to Nevets who got the Isner 5-set win spot on, to NL who got the Wawrinka 4-set win (as Fah said on another thread - Stan only seems to win when you don't pick him ) and to MrI and Big Al who predicted Almagro's 5-set win over Dimitrov.

Big Al leaps up the leaderboard as a result of today's daily win and NL leapfrogs over liam out of the turkey spot. Still an awfully long way to go though!

Kei Nishikori(JPN)[24] d. Matthew Ebden(AUS) 3-6 1-6 6-4 6-1 6-1


Today's scores are a bit more scattered, mainly a result of some surprise results. We still managed to steady the ship by all predicting spot-on wins for Bartoli, Serena, Ivanovic, Murray and Tsonga. We all missed out on King, Makarova and Benneteau winning and although must of went for Nishikori, noone predicted him winning in 5.
Special mentions for Nevets, MrI and Big Al who predicted Raonic's 4-set win and for me who went for Zheng winning in straights

NL follows up yesterday's second place with a daily win and continues to climb up the leaderboard. There's some bunching up at the top, where I find myself (as is often the case in the early stages only to falter towards the end)

Day 4 Only:

MIXED DOUBLES
A Spears(USA)/M Fyrstenberg(POL) d. S Peng(CHN)/J Murray(GBR) 6-3 5-7 [10-5]


We have all been fairly consistent with the scoring so far - the matches should be tighter now that we're in the third round of the singles but the score range is similar to the last few days
3 points all-round for Sonarenka, Fedal and the Bryans. Special mentions today to Nevets for getting the Tomic 5-setter spot-on and to the system as we all picked Stan over Almagro!
Nevets takes the daily win and the overall lead once again

Overall:
1 Nevets - 143

Some unexpected results today throw the leaderboard into disarray. Everyone got 3 points for the Sharapova, Djoko, Tsonga and Ferrer matches. Noone predicted Makarova's win against Zvonareva or Hewitt's win over Raonic Only NL and I picked Lisicki's 3-set win (but NL lost ground by not picking Murray in straights) and only I picked Zheng Jie's straight sets win over Batty-Serving Bartoli.
My amazingly good day combining with Nevets' worst means I have an out-of-nowhere 10 point lead and there's now a lot of closing up behind Nevets in 2nd. Don't panic everyone, a week is plenty of time for me to blow this lead

Well done Mojo! Unfortunately some of my choices yesterday erred on the side of wishful thinking, such as King beating Ivanovic.
