Ivan Ljubicic out first round, really off to a flier Doesnt' help that he lost to Fish, someone I rate highly and tried to but was unable to squeeze in my fantasy team. Damn it.

Now that the open is (almost) over you can now make changes to your team.

The options are:
* Make up to three free changes in the 7 days after a grand slam. If you make your change in the next 24 hours they will score points in this weeks' coming tournaments.

* You can also make an additional change for the month of January if made before Wednesday midnight. This means you can make up to four free changes before Wednesday.

*Changes made after 9pm AEDST Monday will not take effect until the following week.

When making your changes please clearly note which players are out and which are in, also please note the new value of your team. Remember its important to stay within the rules of having a certain number of players from each group and to stay under the salary cap.

Any queries let me know.

Edit:
The following players have been added to the list this week
Player Group Value
Gustarvo Kuerten Bronze $1,650,000
Taylor Dent Bronze $2,000,000
Victor Hanescu Plate $850,000

Here's all the stats you need to know after the Australian Open.

Dydl	                $3,025,000
Matteh	                $2,910,000
Oz Fan	                $2,885,000
Broncoman               $2,655,000
Ash Chaulk              $2,650,000
Clapo	                $2,565,000
Dark Hunter	        $2,550,000
Pup Clarke	        $2,495,000
Samuel Vimes            $2,345,000
Luffy	                $2,085,000
Jono	                $1,920,000

Dydl takes an early lead mainly due to having Robredo and Fish who made the quarters. Jono is unluckily at the bottom because of the first round exit of Ivan Ljubicic. Everyone has Roger Federer in their team and no one had Fernando Gonzalez so the final had little bearing on the overall standings.

There are three tournament's this week, most of the top players in the rankings arent in action so its a chance of the players in the bronze and plate groups to get some serious points, you can follow all the tournaments actions at www.atptennis.com

Can't be bothered changing my team, took too much effort last time.

Pleased to be leading, not sure how long it'll last for though.

At least I can say I had the best Aus Open Fantasy Tennis team.

Out:
P Kohlschreiber ($1.45m)

In:
T Gabashvili ($0.8m)

Shame there's no Querrey...

Querrey will be added next week, his ranking will be high enough to get direct entry into a lot of tournaments this year.

Also this change wont take effect until the next tournament week which begins on February 15th.

The Blake v Malisse final at delray beach has been held over to Monday so results wont be out till this time tomorrow...

 

[Simon]

A fair few changes to the leaderboard this week, the biggest mover was Hakon who has moved into 2nd thanks to Massu, Baghdatis and Blake in particular. Biggest drop was me, i now sit 8th after being in the top four last week.

There are no tournaments this week due to Davis Cup, but play will return the following week, also everyone still has their free change for the month of Februar available, if you want to swap a player, do it in this thread but please remember to stay within the rule of the game.

Might as well make the February change, then.

Out K Kim
In S Querrey

Should be under the limit since Gabashvili is cheaper than the coalwriter.
