WIMBLEDON BOTB - DAY 5 'SYNDICATED' REPORT
Only six matches finished on Friday, with Ivo (picked by 19%) beating Tsonga (81%) and Sela (2%) beating Tommy the 'aas (aka Robredo, 61%) the two upsets of the day.
The most important match of the day from a pick 'em point of view, Haas (63%) v Čilić (34%), was suspended at 6-6 in the 5th, with a right Haas having contrived to give up a 2 set lead and miss a few MPs, though he later saved some MPs too. Andreev (10%) is 2 sets to 1 up against Seppi (1%) in the other held over match.

TEAMS
AM.com and the Feddies held onto the top two places, but with the best score of the day, Team CC overtook JM.org to move into the top three.
The biggest movers swapped places, Tennisopolis jumping 3 places to 6th while R2 winners the Hewitts dropped 3 to 9th and TAT edged up a place into the top 10 at the expense of T4Y, down 1 to 11th.

cheddarwurst (IN) & srberg (TA), both down 2 to 5=, have dropped back a bit after getting 'only' 4/6 correct, as has sharpie (GR), down 4 to 8th.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Lots of sadness that Tsonga is out of the tournament, not just because so many of us picked him to reach the QFs, but the quote of the day concerns a player who fled SW19 much earlier in the week but is still causing people grief:
