Update after - all but one (Zverev A is currently 2-1 behind!) of the second round games have been completed:

I'm having an absolute shocker, and round 2 is likely to be just as bad as round 1

players that I deliberately took out of my team when I saw the mens draw, because I thought they would struggle early

Raonic
Monfils
Edmund
de Minaur


players that I put in

Swartzman
Seppi
Mayer
Harrison

I only check the draw (and I really do study it) because the first time I did this, my players kept knocking out my players in the first couple of rounds

next time I'm just going to use a pin and a blindfold.... which was the technique I used for the first golf FL I entered... which, of course, I won

I'm pretty much relying wholly on Querrey making it through to the QFs (to face Federer most likely) and Raonic making it through to the SFs (to face Federer most likely).

Otherwise, given the deficit I have and the fact that most of my other players are covered by everyone else, that's it for me already.

Cilic falling today has really helped Raonic's cause.

7 players out in the first 2 rounds

what a bunch of w@nkers

If Cilic had been a cricketer, there might have been a few fingers pointed.

6:3 6:1 up overnight (not sure what the third set position was when rain intervened?) - I'd bet he was a very heavy favourite to win that match when they took court today...

Cilic out has not helped me one bit.
