Doubles Tennis Tipping
ESTORIL (and Munich & Belgrade)
If you want to play DTT in the future become a MANAGER YOURSELF! Go to the manager's thread and say which week you want :wavey: http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?p=11580630#post11580630




What is Doubles Tennis Tipping?

In the game, participants pick the winners of all doubles main draw matches and are placed in a knock-out system. That means each participant plays a different participant and whoever predicted the winner of most matches correctly, moves on to the next round. The same applies for doubles, but you're in a team format and your scores are combined.

Note:

- In case of a tie, a tie-breaker will decide who moves on to the next round.
New tie-break method 2009 will be used.

- In case a player (i.e. the actual ATP Player) retires in a match, this match will be counted as long as one point has been played. If players are replaced by a lucky loser after the start of Doubles Tennis Tipping, these matches will be cancelled.

How to send in picks:

Picks can be sent in as soon as the draws are ready. Remember, you pick a winner in every match! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [DTT: Estoril, day #]. Picks can be sent in anytime until the beginning of play each day. If you're still in both singles & doubles, you use the same tips for both. No changes can be made after the play has started.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE

If the board goes down as has happened before, send your picks to kingroger1@hotmail.de

Re: Doubles Tennis Tipping (DTT) - Estoril - Monday Deadline 14pm CEST! Qualifying ON

I made a mistake.... As Adder A216 did not confirm his doubles team I have to remove him and diego36arg from the Doubles Main Draw... They will be Alternates...

For that reason we will not have Doubles Qualification

Cava/Felipe Abe (CZE/BRA) 44+63=107
trucul/Toooom (FRA/FRA) 63+46=109

move to the MD :wavey:

Re: Doubles Tennis Tipping (DTT) - Estoril - Monday Deadline 14pm CEST! Qualifying ON

Monday Interview

We caught up with Gavnich77 in our Daily Interview Session...

I’m hoping for a couple of wins here, a QF would be good...

---------------------------------------------------------

Q: Gavnich77, welcome to Estoril. How are you?

I am fine and ready to play in Estoril.

Q: Last year you won the tournament partnering Gallina from Argentina. What does it mean to you to come back to Estoril?

It’s always great to come back and try to defend a title. Gallina is taking a break from DTT at the moment so I’m here playing with Eddy DoubleD. Hopefully, we can do as well as I did last year. It will be tough though as there are some great doubles teams competing here.

Q: You arrived from Barcelona yesterday. How do you feel and what can you say about the conditions?

Well, it was only a short journey from Barcelona to Estoril so I think the conditions will be quite similar. The weather’s a bit cooler than normal for this time of year so I think that suits me coming from the UK

Q: We've had lots of discussions about how fast or slow the courts are. What is your first impression about Estoril?

My first impressions are good, the conditions are ok, maybe a bit slower than I normally like but I’ll try to adapt.

Q: You've had a difficult start into the clay season suffering first round exits in Casablanca, Monte Carlo and Barcelona. What do you expect from this week or what is your goal for this tournament?

I’m hoping for a couple of wins here, a QF would be good for my confidence as we head towards Roland Garros. I think I played well last week and took an early lead but wasn’t able to close the match out.

Q: You practiced twice yesterday. In the morning you had a hit with jervisjames and now your just coming from a session with Boarder35m. What did you work on?

I was working on tactics, I won’t tell you exactly what but it’s always useful to see how other players approach things.

Q: What are you trying to improve in order to get back in shape?

I’m always looking to improve all aspects of my game, you can always improve no matter how good you think you are but I think I need to maybe trust my instincts a bit more.

Q: Madrid is coming up next week, the first Masters 1000 played on clay this year. Actually it's not played on red clay - it's blue clay. How was your reaction when you first heard of that?

I’m not a fan of it to be honest, what next? Blue grass?

Q: You've been to Estoril several times, tell us what you like and what you dislike about the place.

It’s quite a relaxed atmosphere here and it’s a great place to work on aspects of your game before May with 2 Clay Masters and a Grand Slam. The schedule here is a bit hectic though.

Q: The Players Party will take place on Tuesday. It's going to be a beach party... You already looking forward to that night?

Definitely, it’s always a great night. The DTT “family” is quite a close knit group so it should be a great atmosphere.

Q: What do you expect from the tournament manager this week?

Perfection, and I’m sure he’ll achieve it. I’ve heard he’s a great manager.

Thank you very much and Good Luck
