US Open is here!

The fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of the year, following on from the Wimbledon sweepstake. I am looking for 16 forum members to play and you'll be allocated male and female player(s).

This is just a little bit of fun and there is a little forum award that will be given out to the winners. You don't need to be a fan of tennis, you don't get to pick your players, you can just sign up and let the players do the rest of the hard work!

Everybody will be RANDOMLY allocated two seeded players for the tournament. It is hugely unlikely that a unseeded player will win the US Open this year, though that is a possibility, and if that rarity occurs the forum member with the player who gets the furthest will win.

Defending Champions are Roy Mars III and Locke who won the Wimbledon 2012 sweepstake will be automatically entered into this sweepstake.

Whoever gets the female winner wins this award: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/images/medals/tennisicon.gif

After the draw Djoko is defo the fav to win. Has a complete cupcake draw( if the caveman has recovered he will take him out though). Fed will take care of Murray in the semi's in 4 sets max HOWEVER more then likely gonna be the last match on the Satuday which means he gonna be wrecked

[Munchkins]

Bitches be jel of my Djokovic :love:
Hoping Kirilenko does well too

[Maia]

Williams :worship::worship:

Me and Munchkins have this won

[Munchkins]

Williams :worship::worship:

LK I was rooting for you to get Del Pot but alas, you did not obtain him.

[Jordan.]

Mollie it's only fair you swap with me for Wozniacki, I know you're a big fan.

[Munchkins]

Mollie it's only fair you swap with me for Wozniacki, I know you're a big fan.

I'm 50% Danish, and i won't swap ;)

[MTVN]

Bloody Monaco throwing away a 2 set lead

[Marc]

A lot of seeds going down in the first round

[Legend killer]

LK I was rooting for you to get Del Pot but alas, you did not obtain him.

You let me down Marc not only did i not get The Caveman but i also got a bunch of bums

[Jordan.]

My god. No suprises with Medina after she already let me down at Wimbledon but Wozniacki

http://i47.tinypic.com/2qxqoll.jpg

[MTVN]

[Legend killer]

My god. No suprises with Medina after she already let me down at Wimbledon but Wozniacki

http://i47.tinypic.com/2qxqoll.jpg

Yes Jordan Copy my style and swag hopefully it will rub of on you

[Maia]

Jayson [2] tbh

[MTVN]

Think Marc has decided to scrap the awards from now on

[Black Dagger]

Oh so Mollie & Jayson won't be following in my footsteps. s0b.

[Jayson]

Whoever gets the female winner wins this award: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/images/medals/tennisicon.gif
Whoever gets the male winner wins this award: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/images/medals/racqueticon.png












My demands:

a) Me and Mollie get our awards and we forget this ever happened
b) Everyone who got an award for winning the sweepstakes previously has their awards removed
c) Anal

Choose one

[Jayson]

If I have not got the award by the time I wake up tomorrow there will be hell to pay

[MTVN]

Marc is in Italy at the moment so that doesn't seem likely

Of course in theory I could also just add the awards myself in a few seconds, not sure if I will though :idc:

[Jayson]

If you do it I'll take RG3 out of my sig and replace it with Peyton Manning

This offer expires in 10 minutes

[MTVN]

An offer too good to turn down :pipe:

Also it calls it the Wimbledon sweepstake award for some reason

[Jayson]

:amazed:

He will be staying there for the rest of the week

[MTVN]

A Manning avatar too, good work :worship:

[Jayson]

Have a bit of an OCD about matching sigs and avatars

The orange is making my eyes hurt :(

[Maia]

Thank you MTVN :worship:

[Marc]

Adding ma awards :nono:

[MTVN]

Sorry Marc but we were about to have a riot on our hands

and I wanted to see Manning in Jayson's avatar for a couple of days

[Marc]

That's okay
