US Open Contest Wrap-Up

Some very old loose ends to tie up here, slipped my mind that I hadn't posted scores all this while.

Firstly, The Daily Forehand's team managed not to come in last in British Tennis' Battle of the Boards competition.  We finished a vaguely respectable 14th of 15, beating the AndyRoddick.com crew.  Individually, Santiago92 was our only entrant to finish in the top hundred, though Tammy did make it into the top three in the first week.
