French Open is here!Pathetic draw for me:
RD16: x.doublea/Edelstein
QF: J-man or Yodavitch (lmao)
No point going any further really...pathetic as usual at Grand Slams!
Other draws to note:
leftys v child Rd16
dav6789 yet again pulls in the lucky draw, as usual, but to be fair does have Vanessa in QF
PSALT will reach the SF for DEFINITE and will probably face dav, maybe leftyys of Vanessa. The left side of the draw is pathetically easy compared to the right!
Likely SF's:
dav/Vanessa v PSALT
J-man/Yodavitch v Tricatrina
PSALT v Tricatrina
Woo!

Crap! I have a rubbish draw....Child is on a huge winning streak and my form has been horrible this claycourt season. I would be lucky to even get to the Quarters. This is anything but a lucky draw!

Why because big bag Christoben is going to get in your way? Let us compare:
RD32 both poor as expected
RD16 Mollusk or x.doublea? Absolutely no contest. x.doublea has proved himself on clay and could easily take me out. You should sail past Mollusk even at his best!
QF Vanessa, who doesn't get going till later or defending champion j-man? Again, no contest. J-man is the best player at the French in the last two years and he won't be surrendering his title easily.
SF: PSALT or perhaps the best claycourter in the world Trictrina who may well win this year. Pretty close this one.
Granted Vanessa is not a great draw but you will 110% make the QF which is not bad showing!

I despise picking myself, but I do agree, I have a great chance for the semi's. The only person I am worried about is Stroganoff. This is by far the easiest Major draw I have ever gotten.

not in a Slam. Slams I try to do only players who are doing very well, and players who are doing suprisingly bad. Jbors wasn't expected to do well on clay, and he isn't.

Did you do Vanessa? She would be good of course.
I just realized I play Benchwarmer first to finally try and make it into the R16, if I win this one I will be ecsatic, but I'm really nervous!

Good interview NEA, and I didnt have time to read all of x's this morning, but great preview!

Lol at NEA's interview, but I don't get it....is it a joke or is he actually calling me crap?
I didn't know you were this bitter about my A.Open final run. FYI, I beat in-form Phobe, Sarahginia, then the red hot J-man 7-6 in the final set. I think that's a pretty respectable run to a GS final. Yes I agree my form this year hasen't been the best, but I have managed to beat you and lead leftys 2-1 this year (who I struggle against). I also came very close to beating Vanessa and I still managed to do as well as you did in the European tier 1 claycourt events.
I tend to struggle against good players? Well I beat you 3 times in a row without the loss of a set. I lead my H2H's against other top 10 players, aswell as usually having very close matches with the rest of the top players.

Lol at Phobe Saraghinia and j-man, far from respectable. Seriously dav it was a joke and kind of aiding the recent controversy thing. PSALT deliberately pushed me and I gave a decent answer and kind of nipped at the issue throughout my interview!

yes, I did very much push NEA for an answer because I knew he would give one. he wouldn't avoid it like Doublea or Leftys would (no offense Doublea or Leftys, we need 'nice' people too ).
so, who do you guys think will win now? J-man is the only person that I thought could win it that is out.

Well I finally got past the Round of 32 stage! That is really what I wanted the most, and finally it came, thank god. It was sort of pathetic it took me this long, and it sucks to lose to Jennacourt after I owned her so much this season.
I sense Wimbledon I may be able to go further?
Congrats PSALT, Dave, Agassi, NEA! Good job getting to the quarters, I hope NEA wins it actually, either him or Dave. Can you imagine a Dave-NEA final!  That would be amazing! I think they both deserve it most though, seeing as they are the leading members, and both have had really good runs this season so far.
And Dave dont worry, I don't think your Aussie final was a fluke

Congrats to all four of you, Agassi, Dave, PSALT and NEA for making the QF. I really hope that one of you wins. I think that at least one of NEA or PSALT will be in the final. Maybe both.

I don't think it was a fluke; he will no doubt win countless Grand Slams but it was an absolutely PATHETIC draw to the Final.

Confidence/Luck Factor?
Anyway, way to go Agassi on getting to the semis, and the final definitely was the perfect two, those two were absolutely incredible for the start of the season, and Childs win streak is really impressive.
Percy, the thing that kind of bugs me is that the top computer players still have a big lead over us in points (stats), and we will never be able to pass them. I think one day every 10 days or so we might be able to add a point, including those still training, just so we can get ahead of them a bit, because as of now it seems they will always have the upper hand.

Yes, well the lead is not that big, depending on the player, but I understand. I think everyone should get to add another point every once and a while like you suggest, I'm just not sure how frequently.
Also, rankings will most likely not be updated until tomorrow; same with tomorrow's tournament draws (sorry PSALT!).

I am not really happy with just a semi, but I will live with it. The only good thing is I don't have that many more points to defend until the indoor season starts. I will be switching my schedule however, I will not being playing in the Mirza Grasscourt Challenge like usual. I will instead play at the Petrova Cup.

Yes, rankings have not been updated and tournament draws are not out...I along with most people here am extremely busy and am just trying to get to Wimbledon before our break. I am planning to update the rankings and make the draws this afternoon, and then tonight calculate them. I don't know PSALT if you can do a preview between the time a make the draws and the time I calculate them (I'll try to leave at least a couple of hours). If there's no way you can, I completely understand. Sorry everyone about the inconvenience.

You missed your preview for the tournament, it was Tier II I believe. That must be the first one without a PSALT Preview, didn't no where I was! I am not particularly thrilled with a SF either, it was I have been doing for most of the year, losing to the players who are Finalists or Champions, in any tournament which I do not win. Getting annoying now.
