There may be a challenge on tomorrow's Wimbledon matches.   However, as of now, the exact schedule is not available.   So, if the schedule becomes available, I will post a challenge.  It may require a quick turnaround.   However, if it is not available until too late, I will have to find another challenge.

Wimbledon Day 2 Challenge:     There are over 50 mathces tomorrow.  Here is a link to the schedule:

http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/scores/schedule/schedule9.html


You mission is to choose 10 matches (You cannot choose ones that are in progress or ones not to start before 17:00).  Pick the winner of the 10 mathces.  You get 1 point for each one right.   But, you may only choose up to 5 ranked players as winners.   But, you can choose either Men's or Women's.

The order you submit in is important.   Although all are equal in points, the order will be used foir tiebreaking.   If you both get  points, I will compare both tribes #1 and if one has the winner and the other has it wrong, the winner gets the tiebreaker.   I will continue on down from 2-10.

If by chance, that you match up win-win or loss-loss for all 10, I will go down the rankings in the same manner among the winners and compare the number of sets in took to win (less is better).

Matches start tomorrow morning so your submissions are due by 7:00 AM EDT Tuesday.   If you are unable to submit your entry, captains can designate a tribe member to submit on their behalf

If still tied, order of submission.

I can't even figure out how the scoring works to know who is winning / how many more they have to win.

I have to keep refreshing until I see DEFEATS

If Li, Anderson and Stebe win, Jefferson wins the challenge.  Otherwise, it is Adams

A tennis match is the best of 5 sets.  To win a set, you must win 6 games (must win by two or there is a tiebreaker round).   Each game is scored  as 15; 30; 40; win.  If the score is 40-40, it is called deuce and the player who gets ahead by 2 wins the game.   What is confusing is they are putting the score of the current game first, followed by the score of all the sets, with the current set being last.

Anderson up 2 sets to 1, down 5-3 in the 4th

Stebe lost the first two sets, tied 3-3 in the 3rd.

Li Na won 6-3, 6-3

Can't believe I'm actually watching tennis scores.
