- Congratulations to BxBarracuda, who wins the 2012 Women's US Open tipping competition!
- He wins with 10/15 picks and 74/123 points for a 60.2% scoring rate. Also, talk about last minute; 23 of his points were picked up in the last possible moment by an email to dg_dave.
- Second place went to N-Bomb and third place to illiniman14. Despite N-Bomb's 11 picks, his weren't as high-scoring as our winner's picks. Quality over quantity.
- There was a three-way tie for sixth place that couldn't be separated by a tiebreaker. wwe84, paper_aero and Sypher are locked into the same position.
- ozzz2002 brought up the rear as he didn't pick either of the top two women, and only one semifinalist.
- We tipped all of the winners but one: Roberta Vinci making it into the quarterfinals was not predicted by anybody.
- Most of us had a pretty decent success rate with many of the top seeds going through.
- This concludes the Women's Grand Slam events for 2012. See you all in 2013 (unless the world ends)!

Are you trying to clue us in on some occupational inside information LDV? Remember the Mayan prediction?

- Congratulations to ozzz2002. He's the winner of the 2012 men's US Open competition with 60/93 points for a 64.5% strike rate.
- He managed to win by correctly tipping all four semifinalists, the only player to do so.
- Second place goes to illiniman14 while third place goes to LeoDaVinci. The two were separated by only a point.
- What do the podium finishers have in common? They all tipped Marin Cilic for the only double-digit score on the card.
- Sypher and George95 miss out on the podium by only two points. They had ten correct tips, like the leaders, and were separated by their tiebreaker.
- The tiebreaker was needed to separate sixth through ninth as well, with gtho4 edging out Howie72 and N-Bomb who tied, but edged out wwe84.
- In fact, three quarters of us managed to tip ten guesses correctly. You had to go down to paper_aero in tenth to see the first person with less.
- BxBarracuda, who dominated in the women's side of things, is in the cellar over here.
- Every choice was correctly tipped by at least one of us.
- Thanks to all who played! This concludes the tennis for 2012, check with the Mayan calendar for the Australian Open competition in 2013.

From Basement to Penthouse! Thanks to Dave and LDV for the hard yards, and thanks to Marin Cilic.
