Tennis is back!

The first Grand Slam event is the Australian Open and it begins on the 16th January. I'm looking for 32 forum members to participate and once I have those 32 people (or as many as I can get) you will all be allocated one male and one female tennis player. 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 Australian 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.

Whoever gets the female winner wins this award:
Whoever gets the male winner wins this award:

32 Forum Members, 2 Winners.
