So everyone picked Vinci to lose to Vanderweghe?

I should have noticed you didn't have all 16 but you had them numbered so nicely so I just went with it. As it happens you left out #3, though it is likely you meant #4 to be #3 but I have to go based on the numbering you gave me

INCORRECT ANSWERS

Our most popular incorrect, chosen by 2 of you, was the #1 seed who was broken numerous times even as he dispatched his first round opponent in straight sets:

The next 5 of you would have had aces if only your answers were correct.

This large serving player totaled 75 aces among the 83 games he played in his first round match. Unfortunately somewhere among those he gave up 4 break point chances, and 1 of them was converted.

Spoiler:

This seeded player gave up only one break point opportunity to his opponent, but unfortunately for this guess, his opponent was 1/1 in break points won.

CORRECT ANSWERS

Let's start with the SHEEP. 4 players, myself included, selected this player who is known to have a good serve. He gave up 2 break point chances to his opponent, but his dominant serve erased them.

The next popular answer was a 3-pointer. This player won 46/47 points on his first serve. He had 15 aces, 0 double faults. He didn't even give up a break chance to his opponent. Not much of a sweat for those of you that picked...

Next we have a couple of 2 pointers.

Quote:

Is he the mega-SHEEP? Nope, just a solid 2 pointer. Gave up 2 break chances but cleaned them up nicely in a straight set victory.

Spoiler:

Did he win? Check. Was his serve broken? No. Granted he only played one set but given how it went he probably was a favorite to be right anyways.

And we close with a single ace.

This unseeded player gave up 6 break point chances to his opponent, but cleaned them all up. He himself only had one break point chance, but that was all he needed en route to a straight set victory. Tip your cap for the first ace of the Aussie Open PEEHS:

INCORRECT ANSWERS

We were trying to pick a seeded player who would win, but have a little trouble in finishing off their opponent.

Myself and one other person picked a player who was pushed to a first set tiebreaker but otherwise took care of his opponent pretty easily. He was also correct for #1.

I watched this match and Verdasco had tons of chances in the 2nd set, but always was one critical point short. House always wins.

Two of you went with the #6 seed who did had little trouble dispatching his opponent in 3 quick sets: 6-2, 6-3, 6-2

Spoiler:

Which version of this player are you going to get? 2 of you were hoping for the version that finds some way to implode. Instead we got the one that absolutely steamrolled his opponent, breaking him 8 times and not giving up a single break point chance. Unplayed ace for #1.

Would have been an ace but his opponent never seriously threatening winning a set. Correct answer for #1.

CORRECT ANSWERS

We know there are no unplayed aces so all the correct answers were chosen.

Our SHEEP decided to spot his opponent 2 sets before deciding it was time to play. 3 of you chose the #7 seed who won in 5 sets.
