Novak battled the heat and Fonseca at Roland Garros.
What might he be thinking?

"Do you want heat or Fonseca? I don't want any, I wanna go home 😩"

"Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
One more slam
Who gives a dam?
This kid is quick
Gets on my wick
The joker's poked...

Check the Rules
The nitty gritty rules stuff.
You get 5 points for each correct pick, plus you can earn bonus points.
+1 point for picking a winning unseeded player
+1 point if an unseeded player beats a seeded player, or a seeded player beats a better seed.
+1 point for guessing a winner and the correct number of sets. No sets bonus for walkovers, or retirements unless more than 1 set played for women and more than 2 sets for men.
Double points will be awarded in the Finals.
A losing pick earns 1 consolation point if the match is a nail biter (i.e. 5 sets for men, 3 sets for women).
If you forget to make a pick, you will be randomly assigned a Lucky Dip selected from all remaining players. Lucky Dip picks do not qualify for bonus points!!!
The Winner is the picker who scores the most points overall and will receive a genuine French Open Players Towel and be crowned the King of Clay.
The top points scorer in each of the men's and women's draws will also win French Open gear. A lucky draw prize will go to a random picker who has made a pick in all rounds. Limit one prize per picker. Prize winners must be resident in NZ.
