Suicide Wimbledon game: Gone too soon. Congrats to Rottie!

[fragoletta]

Sigh, I died so early :drama:
Anyway, thanks for the game and good luck to the rest of you! I hope we can do it again for the US Open!

Rottie: Becker Bellucci Kohlschreiber Simon Djokovic
LuckyCharm: Fish Simon Hanescu Tsonga Mayer
Fergus: Becker Beck Montanes Malisse Berdych
CaptCrunch: Fish Beck Lopez Querrey Berdych
:shuffle: Well, RIP LuckyCharm, as Mayer just went down to Taipei's pride. If Berdych doesn't pull up and win his match (it's a set apiece currently), we will quite shockingly have our winner already. (Rottie!)

So what happened to us this edition? Lame-O! Last year's suicidal Wimbledon had IIRC double digit participants left at this point, and required rounds all the way to the men's championship match!

And why the fart didn't I pick de Bakker? Dumb ass, Fergus. :duh:

Ah, poor thing. Cruel world. If only someone had given you some sage advice, a heavy hint, a sideways recommendation? Sigh. :shuffle:


Or should I just mark y'all all down for Thiemo de Bakker? :lol:

Eh, looks like Berdych is going to go up 2-1 anyway. ETA: Er, guess not. Or maybe. Well, okay, stay tuned.

Thattaboy, Berdy! Takin' it in 5 and Fergus is still alive. :smokin:

[Beefcake]

:cheer2: With Berdych surviving, so do Fergus and CaptCrunch! But, RIP LuckyCharm. :(

The Rottie/Fergus/CC triad are our top three. Congrats!

Though I must admit that -- after the shame of this game going too short without a contingency plan wore off -- I was kinda looking forward to wrapping this up in a tidy bow before the middle Sunday.
