I calculate that we can achieve 44 wins in total. I may be wrong but hopefully close!
Current - 5
WD - 11 more
MD - 28 more (this may be one or two out but close enough).
So, 44 is well above the top prediction of 24 and well above the top named prediction (emmsie69) of 21. On the other hand, it could start to fall quite rapidly today and tomorrow as the first round of doubles matches are played!

With British players in 5 matches today and 5 more tomorrow, we could also see the bottom end of the predictions get overtaken this weekend. Basically, the action starts here in this competition!!

We are on 9 wins now and 39 is now the max. Everyone still in including the anonymous voter on 8 or less. If we win no more, we close on 9 and so 8 or 10 would be equally close. Hopefully, it will move on from 9!

8 pairs left in men's doubles with British interest, 1 in women's doubles.

Just a reminder, as the wins now start to sit within the range of our predictions, if the 4 anonymous voters wish to surface and let us know who they are, I can include them in our tables etc.

But no issue if not!

our first anonymous predictor is gone. first "person" to fall

With Neal and Jan facing off in round two, one more win is guaranteed (unless there is a walkover) at least.

11 wins - Arthur and Josh MD R1

our first named predictor is gone - sorry, Bagel. A fair few of us could follow soon!

With 5 women's wins possible and 18 men's, I calculate we can reach 34 wins now. So all at the top end still in it. Julian and Lloyd still to play tonight as I go to bed.

miriam abc · Club Coach

12 wins, Julian and Lloyd R1

with one more win guaranteed bar a walkover, those of us on 12 will also disappear shortly!

Max wins sits at 17 men's doubles and 5 women's ie 34 in total.

JonH · Tennis legend

3 Brits pairs today in men's doubles and 1 in women's. Good luck all!

The two anonymous voters on 22 and 24 could well be contenders here ( anonymous voters don't seem to end up as contenders to win for whatever reason?). If they still wish to unveil themselves, maybe they forgot to say, I will still accept their entries. Don't be shy!
