 For the Grand Slams and some of the Masters Series tournaments we run special predictions competitions. Once the draw is released, entrants have to attempt to predict the winners of every single match from Round 1 right through to the Final, before the first round matches start. People from more than 70 countries have taken part in these contests and the pick 'ems for slams regularly attract around 400 entrants - many thanks to all of you who help to make these events so much fun! A regular entrant writes: "This game makes me sad in ways it shouldn't but that never stops me from coming back for more punishment, possibly cos I'm an idiot, possibly cos the players I pick are idiots and possibly because no matter how much I hate this game, it is still THE BEST THING EVER."

Each player starts off with 200 AM and places certain amounts of this each day on selected matches from the current ATP tournament. Anyone can join in this competition at any time, it's totally free and the winner for the current season will be the person with the most AM by the end of Wimbledon 2007. The winner will be sent a program from the 2006 Aberdeen Cup, signed by Andy Murray and Greg Rusedski. To join in, go to this section and make a post in the sign-up thread to let the organisers know that you wish to take part. |
