I thought that was a banned substance wink


 Anything goes in this game - a bit like those doping Olympics theyve proposed!

Have gone for 27, feel like we've got a really strong doubles line-up that should really be getting a good amount of wins on the hard courts. Maybe more wishful thinking than anything!

Thanks so far to all whove voted - Ive not got a pen and paper to note down who has voted what so will need to leave that until early next week but if anyone has time and inclination to make a note and post a list on Sunday (vote closes Saturday 10pm) that would be spiffing

With the singles draw out and now no British qualifiers, I am going for 27.

Edit: Oops, actually Jan still to play. I'll stick with my 27 but go smash into the MD, Jan.

I voted for 21

gentlemen 2 s + 10 d

mixed 2

Perhaps a bit optimistic for the ladies.

As a reminder, here was my little fun ranking list after the first three grand slam events of the season. Will the US Open change things and crown the world number one of British wins at slams predictions !?

So, here is my little ranking system. The 10 closest predictors in each slam earn points. 1st gets 25, 2nd 18, down to 1 in 10th (see F1 system as it mirrors that). Getting it spot on earns a bonus point, so a winner who is spot on gets 26 points. If two people tie eg for 3rd, they both get 15 points, then 5th place gets 10 as per below.


1 25
2 18
3 15
4 12
5 10
6 8
7 6
8 4
9 2
10 1

So here is the list - realise it is flawed, no doubt, and not everyone has taken part in all 3 slams - so just a bit of fun! But I think I will introduce it as a thing for 2025! Score on left is the total; Strongbow has done well in all 3 slams, with 3 top 10's and 2 second places and they lead the table!

TOTAL Name

38 Strongbow
34 Elegant Point
34 goldfish
33 Ralfie
28 Mdewey
26 Indiana
20 brittak
20 The Addict
18 JonH
18 Tanaqui
17 Blue Belle
17 Miriam abc

8 Spireman

8 SuperT

Again, Id be much appreciative if anyone out there is able to summarise who voted what for us when the vote closes! Dont worry if not, but it would be a nice helping hand! Theres only 17 - currently - and not all have said what they voted so shouldnt take too long. Thanks in advance and no worries if not.
