NOTICE

Please note how to send points: Men's- divide points into 3 sets... Women's- divide points into 13 games, once for each set. If you send points incorrectly, I will notify you BUT if it's already past the deadline, YOU WILL LOSE BY WALKOVER

Draws are done!! :D

For the women's, both Sugiyama and Stosur were ranked at #8, so I chose randomly to see who got the 8th seed (Stosur won).

For the men's, we have exactly 28 players so only the top 4 seeds got byes :eek:

Start sending points! :) :bounce: :rocker:

Could you please check if my PM was sent to you or not, im not sure if my connection timed out before or after it was sent :tape:

Sacha says watch out

Following Sacha Jones' 9 bagels last week Sacha has been given an absolutely horrific draw. First up will likely be last weeks semifinalist Lucie Safarova, followed by former finalist Maria Kirilenko. It doesnt get much easier from there because next up will likely be the top seed and then its anyones guess on whose up next.

But Sacha does give one warning to all players "I am fitter than ever, I feel good and I want to be a top 4 seed at next weeks Australian Open. Everyone in my draw better make sure their serves are faster than every before, that their backhands and forehands can smash winners and that they can win from the net, because if not you will be beaten in double quick time. I beat 4 players in under two hours combined last week and I can only get better. Be scared."

Results by now?
