Grand Slam Fantasy Wimbledon edition : well, not much to talk about, is there?

After the conclusion of the second round, everybody's still got an intact team and a perfect score of 20 on both men's and women's sides...so I won't post details since you already know what they are. Let's see what happens in the third round. Not much like the French, is it?

In case people want to know who to root for... and against... Active players in red. Duh.

I wish I knew how to kill that huge gap. Sorry.

I thought Davydenko would be gone by now. This is record-breaking for him.

TCS, you have to remove all the line breaks in your table to get rid of the gap. So your table's html code has to appear all on one line. There are tools which will do this for you.

So if the code's readable, the output won't be. Got it! ;-)

I sort of did it, but I ended up with some random </.

Weird. When I entered the code for my original table into that tool and did the thing with the thing and repasted back here, I still had the huge gap, but I can copy and paste bperk's table's code, which looks identical, and it works (I also get the random

I manually took out all the br codes as well. I probably missed something and that's where the random </ came from.

Yeah, those br codes must have done it. I blame LBB.

I love br codes.

(Oh, and by the way, Gonzalez's loss today virtually eliminates me from contention on the mens' side. Again.) (Oh, and by the way, Gonzalez Hingis's loss today virtually eliminates me from contention on the womens' side. Again.) A little something extra for you, Mr. Crafty.

Blake lost, too.

posted by bperk at 01:20 PM on June 29, 2007

Goddamn American men! Seriously, I can't believe that Blake was eliminated ahead of that half-stepper Roddick.

Goddamn bum Mauresmo! Goddamn rain!

posted by lil_brown_bat at 11:43 AM on July 03, 2007

The rain is crazy. Then they won't play on Sunday to try to catch up. What is wrong with Mauresmo? She looked great for most of the first set, and then it all went to hell.

Updated table (sort of):

I didn't update the points, because, really, we're all winners here. I don't see why we need to make this a competition.

Wait a minute! I have my very first lead.

posted by bperk at 04:30 PM on July 03, 2007

Yeah, well, that's what you get for so joyfully posting of my early demise. In technicolor no less.

posted by The Crafty Sousepaw at 04:56 PM on July 03, 2007

hmm, looks like the best case scenario for me on the men's side is to have Djokovic win it all. Preferably over some unranked no-name. Go Novak, go!!
