It's time to wrap up the first leg. :)

The most interesting thing in this tournament was the impressively high standard of the qualifications. Both finalists and three out of four semifinalists came from the qualies. The 9th poster in the qualifying round, that is the first who couldn't reach the main draw, was the 14th best overall. :eek:

This weird situation has made me think that it's probably better to make some changes for the second leg: with 53 posters, probably the best solution is to have a draw of 48, with 16 first round byes, 40 direct entries and 8 spots for the qualifiers. :)

Another very remarkable fact: the winner of the tournament has been decided by the last match of the leg. If Dokic had won the final in Paris, the outcome would have been very different, we'll see how in detail later. :)

So, let's see what has happened.

Sofiane, Arne and Bulgar were the next three in the qualifying round ranking; despite they scored two pairs, it was not enough to earn a spot in the main draw.

MAIN DRAW

Tim Wilson (1) def Tennisace
Caio Braz (WC #2) def Josh

Paul (Q1) def Carot
Beckl (6) def Moon

KC (3) def Susie

Mary Pierce (WC #4) def Griffin (8)
Rocketta (Q5) def Tia Clara

DannyLovesMeghandMon (Q2) def Gallofa (Q6)
BecoolSerenaLover def Poe (2)

Tim Wilson and Tennisace finished with the very same combination (K / K / Q / Q / A), and they both had Suarez as a spare card; Tim won as he had a 7 thanks to Dechy, while Tennisace scored only 2 with Molik.

3 seeds falling at the first hurdle and 7 qualifiers through to the second round, the 8th being beaten by another qualifier.

Congratualtions to Paul, the 2002 Tennis Poker 1st leg winner! :D

All the combinations:

FOUR OF A KIND

Paul
Henin / Dokic / Tanasugarn / (Davenport) Panova / Mauresmo
K / K / K / K / Q



If Jelena had won in Paris, Paul would have scored "only" three of a kind: that would have been enough for a quarterfinal spot, but the winner would have been someone else...

:rolleyes: I am left seed in the semis :o LOL!

Congratulations, Danny for beat me ;) and also, congratulations on Paul for win the first leg ;)

THREE OF A KIND

DannyLovesMeghandMon

Q / Q / Q / A / 7

Gallofa

2 / @ / 2 / 5 / 4



If Jelena had won in Paris and scored an Ace, Turt would have scored a full house, the best combination of the leg. Unluckily, he had to settle for three of a kind, and with a tough first round opponent like AlexSydney, no win at all.

Katulampa,
thank you for expressing your personal opinion. Unluckily the Tennis Poker rules brought to a very different result.

Thanks for a great game, doc!! 1 question: you said I had:


The Crow
Henin / Dokic / V.Williams / Clijsters / (Davenport) Torrens-Valero or Leon-Garcia
K / K / A / Q / 2


But shouldn't this be K/K/A/Q/6 (6 for Torrens-Valero)? Not that it matters, but i just wanna be sure I understand the game by now ;)

The Crow,
you're right, I didn't update Cristina's value after Paris. :o
It doesn't make a difference for the tournament outcome, but it gives you a few more points in the ranking. :)

BTW, Torrens-Valero is a 5, not a 6.

Though Katulampa doesn't think so.

If only seles would have won paris, then i would have peat you Paul! -----------------> (Lucky Bastard)

Except for the bastard thing, that's correct. :)
