The third round saw the exit of two venerable players. First Wayne Arthurs lost to Jonas Bjorkman. And consequently, I was very respectfully ushered out of the Suicide Pool.
I did briefly argue the case for reincarnation, but, apparently these things have a no suicide policy. pffft!
There is, still, quite a respectable representation from TW on both the Men's and Women's side.
Not sure if this is going to fly, but WM nominations to Madame and Patrick.
