CricketWeb Tennis - Season I

[Simon]

I'm automatically qualified for Madrid right?

Points for the challenger event sound about right, maybe a bit lower would be more realstic. Making the last 16 of a Masters Series>Winning a Challenger tournament.

 

[Simon]

Do career wins/losses count if you play at Lugano? If so Bowenburg to play the Challenger, actually I'll play their regardless.

In real life they dont, SBI may include them here as I could see how it would make it easier to follow.

I wasn't going to, but I might keep a side tally.

And yeah, Smeltz is auto-qualified.

How long until Roland Garros? If there's more than a few "weeks" then I'll play the Masters, if it's the next one up I'll have a rest.

 

[Johnners]

I think there's 1 more Tournament between the Masters & Roland Garros.

 

[Johnners]

Delev to have a crack at Lugano, have a bit of form up my sleeve, and I won't be meeting top 30 opponents should I make it past the 1st round.

Yeah, you can rest in Portschach.

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I'll go for the challenger tournament. I may be eligible for the Masters, but I'd like to actually win a match or two on clay before the French Open.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah, you can rest in Portschach.

k then Drake'll play the Masters then.

 

[ripper868]

Maxum to the Challenger, could be interesting being his favoured surface....would also like to break my 0-4 record.

 

[Simon]

How much effect does prefered surface have on results? Obviously with mine being clay I wanted to do well at this time of year with all the major tournaments on this surface, but with only international standard events on clay after the French Open am I pretty unlikely to perform at any other big tournament?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

It gives you an advantage on clay, but no disadvantage on other surfaces except in certain cases (which don't affect Smeltz).

 

[David]

Definitely Lugano, looking to win big.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

k then Drake'll play the Masters then.

then.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

this page says Lugano was worth 80.

Which seems about right to me. From wiki's page, it appears that no Challenger tournament is worth more than 100 points.

Le Ox to Madrid.

 

[Chubb]

I better go to the Challenger, as depressing as it is.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Considered joining, but found "Rob has no friends." more amusing.

Bowenburg now has two friends on facebook!

Steffi Bachofer has been added.

Edit: Nah, she just wrote to me and didn't add me, lol.

 

[Jamee999]

Madrid, bitte.
