Semifinals: Djokovic vs. Wawrinka, Troicki vs. Federer
Final: Djokovic vs. Federer
Champion: Djokovic

Djokovic is the majority pick for the AO champion, he gets the selection of four out of our five experts. Niall went with defending champion Wawrinka to win, while Federer is perhaps a slight favorite to make the final with three out of five experts going with the legend. Murray and Nadal also get plugs to make the final, and a shot out to Jeff (Bernard Tomic), and Courtney (Viktor Troicki) for having bold picks for semifinalists. The outcome will be interesting to watch.

Week 2 standings

Auckland
1: Jeff (34 points) (+250 overall)
2: Chris (26 points) (+150 overall)
3: Steen (26 points) (+150 overall)
4: Niall (24 points) (90+ overall)
5: Courtney (18 points) (+45 overall)

It was a poor week for everyone in terms of accuracy as the draw was full of unexpected results, Jeff takes the title by virtue of having Anderson in the semis, and nobody did well this week.

Sydney
1: Steen (24 points) (+250 overall)
2: Chris (16 points) (+150 overall)
3: Jeff (16 points) (+150 overall)
4:Courtney (10 points) (+90 overall)
5: Niall (10 points) (+90 overall)

Likewise everyone did very poorly in Sydney as two qualifiers made the final, Steen had Muller and Tomic in the quarters and that was enough to have him finish in first place this week. Niall and Courtney finished with what should probably be a record low of 10 points all season.

Overall standings (after week 2)

1: Steen: 830 ranking points (+400 this week)
2: Chris: 730 ranking points (+300 this week)
3: Jeff: 640 ranking points (+400 this week)
4: Niall: 565 ranking points (+180 this week)
5: Courtney: 525 ranking points (+135 this week)

Steen pulls ahead of Chris this week since he took a title and got finals points in the other event, Jeff also has a big boost with his title and final points, he moves into third place early on in the season, while Courtney slipped down to fifth.

Week 1 standings

Brisbane
1: Chris (128 points) (+250 ranking points overall)
2: Courtney (122 points) (+150 ranking points overall)
3: Steen (96 points) (+90 ranking points overall)
4: Niall (92 points) (+90 ranking points overall)
5: Jeff (72 points) (+45 ranking points overall)

everyone had perfect semis except Jeff, while Chris outdid Courtney in the early rounds and given the fact they both had Federer as champion, they finished 1/2 in Brisbane this week. Shout out to Courtney for picking Duckworth over Simon in a big upset no one else picked.

Doha
1: Steen (72 points) (+250 ranking points overall)
2: Jeff (60 points) (+150 ranking points overall)
3: Chris (56 points) (+90 ranking points overall)
4: Courtney (52 points) (+90 ranking points overall)
5: Niall (46 points) (+45 ranking points overall)

Steen finished first and Jeff finished second because they were the only two who had Berdych in the final, Steen had Ferrer in the semis and that was the difference.

Chennai
1: Niall (104 points) (+250 overall)
2: Courtney (102 points) (+150 overall)
3: Steen (72 points) (+90 overall)
4: Chris (62 points) (+90 overall)
5: Jeff (60 points) (+45 overall)

Having Wawrinka as the champ and RBA in the semis made the difference for Niall as he won the Chennai tournament this week. Courtney also had Wawrinka as the champ and outpaced the rest of the field, with the difference between the top two being the fact Niall did one pick better in round 2.

Overall standings (after week 1)
1: Chris: 430 ranking points
2: Steen: 430
3: Courtney: 390
4: Niall: 385
5: Jeff: 240

Chris and Steen both took titles and got semifinal points in two other tournaments, which puts them out in the lead, while Courtney getting final points from two events puts her in third. A dual champion could add 500 points to their total this week.
