ITF Picking Game: Davis Cup Final

Davis Cup

--PLACES AVAILABLE--
--0 MATCHES REMAINING--

How to Play:
Every player has 6 picks which they must use for all of the main draw men's matches (+ one pick on the overall team winner) throughout the tournament. The scoring points besides each fixture represent the points you score if the corresponding player wins. If your pick is wrong however you LOSE 10 points. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner.
To play you only need to start posting your picks on this thread, and try to number them as it makes it easier for me to keep track. A valid pick must be in the format Player A def/over Player B (Winner First). By the end of the tournament all 16 picks must be used. Any unusued picks will be counted as losses.
You are allowed to post picks each day until the corresponding match starts, so please check the order of play so as not to be late. All picks posted after play starts are invalid and can be replaced. A pick is void if a match does not take place but is valid if at least one point is played (so retirements count).
In case of more than one player being tied on the same score, the tiebreak will be number of right picks, if still tied then by 1st highest scoring pick, 2nd highest scoring pick etc.
Each player is able to place “Djoker Cards” on any ONE of their 6 picks. If your "Djoker" pick wins you earn double winnings if he loses you will not lose any points.
You will also receive "ranking points" depending on where you finish in the tournament at the end of the week. Further information is available in the “Official Picking Game Thread”
Doubles Rules: A doubles team must be agreed by both pickers before it is established unless they go in for the scratch pairing draw which will be made up each week for any pickers without a partner who would like to play. Doubles teams can only comprise of 2 pickers. Doubles teams can be formed or changed at any time until 1 hour before the start of play on day 1. You cannot swap partners mid competition. The overall postions will be decided by your score + your partner's score.

Teams
Porlock/Raskolnikov 11/10-1/2 (1 Pick Short)
Debs/Northbank 1/9-3/2
Ruggers/Scotsguy -1/9-3/2
Impatiens/Aldo -16/8-2/1 (2 Picks Short)
GJ/SirBenson -52/4-7/2 (1 Pick Short)
Jack/Henners -42/6-3/0 (3 Picks Short)

Too early to say, haven't had a look at those fixtures yet, I've got my eye on tonight's UEFA cup, I've got plenty of decent tips for that if you want...
I'd fancy Newcastle though after their morale-boosting display against Arsenal.

Anderlect v Spurs
Crvena Zvezda v Bolton

Not my bag, really. Interested insofar as the game will tire teams out for Sat and Sun.

Is the tennis tourney over? and if so, how did you do/how are you doing?

Bolton have left their best players behind as far as I know, so that shouldn't be a factor for their prem game.
