Congratulations to Dizart who wins the 2012 men's French Open tournament.
Amazingly, he had a perfect tournament! He picked 15/15, the FIRST time this has happened in any tennis tipping comp here! (source: Perfect picks table in the Hall of Fame page). The odds of this are astronomical especially if lower seeds make it to higher rounds, so, r-e-s-p-e-c-t!
As a group we picked 152 out of 195, a 77.9% success rate... I guess it was predictable that Nadal would win on his preferred surface, but, every pick was chosen by at least six people.
Second place went to N-Bomb while third place was eked out by paper_aero.
A tiebreaker was used for sixth and seventh places where srini701 beat out gtho4, while only Howie72 got his tiebreaker right on the nose.
Cheekily, Dizart was the only one of us who didn't pick a tiebreaker!
In the cellar we find ozzz2002 with a very respectable 25 points on 7 correct tips. In any other tournament, this might have been a higher finish!
Thank you heartily to srini701 for tabulating this.

ozzz2002 Moderator Registered: Mon Dec 03 2001 Posts: 20907 Loc: Sydney NSW Australia	The top 6 seeds survived until the quarters, with the 'roughie' only being seeded twelfth. So much for tipping a couple of upsets. Major congrats to Dizart, with N-Bomb and paper_aero right on his hammer. Thanks to LDV and Srini for making it all work, too. _________________________ The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it.

srini701 Star Poster Registered: Wed Jan 04 2006 Posts: 11527 Loc: Hyderabad, India	Dizart deserves a lot more kudos for that perfect tournament, I guess! Absolutely incredible that N-Bomb gets 14/15 right and ends at 2nd place! Well done to both of them and to paper for yet another podium finish On to the grass now _________________________ "This too shall pass"
