Hi there ,
Are you:
Bummed that Justine Henin has retired?
Down that Tsonga and Roddick are not playing the French Open?
Depressed that your favourite player hasn't been handed a favourable draw?

Never fear. Whatever the source of your mental ill-being, we have the cure.
Why not put your depression to good use?
Play the Talk About Tennis Roland Garros 2008 Suicide Pool . Reap the benefit of offing yourself, without in fact, offing yourself. And there might be loot if you win. It's a win-win situation.

Newbies are, of course, welcome. Here are some things to keep in mind:

To play the Suicide Pool, you need to be registered as a TAT member.  If you have not yet registered, registration is free and quick!  Just go to TAT.

How to participate in the TW division of the contest:

The rules are as follows:

1) To enter, you must include the letters "TW" in your first pick posts. If you are participating in both pools (men and women), you must include "TW" in both the Men's and Women's Day 1 picks posts.  (For those of you who have already posted your picks for day 1, no worries. You can follow this rule for Tuesday's pick and still play the TW suicide pool)

2)  If your screen-name on TAT is different from the name you use at TennisWorld, you must include your TennisWorld name.
(Again, for those of you who have already posted your picks for day 1, no worries. You can follow this rule for Tuesday's pick and still play the TW suicide pool)

So, your first -day pick will look like this (Please make sure your pick and your name are on separate lines):

Kristof Vliegen

TW, mmmm8

(it will help the site administrators to leave some white space between your pick for the day and ID as Tribe member)

3) Include "TW" (and, if applicable, your TW name) only in your Day 1 picks (or, of course,  day 2 if you have already made your picks for day 1).  Please do not  add the "TW" indicator for the remaining days.

4) If you have questions about the Suicide Pool, you can ask them at TAT, in this thread.
Make sure to read the description of how the SP is played first, here.

5) If you have questions about the TW part of the contest, you can send a message to mmmm8 through TAT's Private Message system.

Because of the Sunday start, you are allowed to make your first pick EITHER on Sunday or Monday (you don't pick on both days). However, if your first pick happens to be a Sunday match you have to post your pick before start of play on Sunday. If your first pick  is from a Monday match, you have until start of play on Monday to post your pick.

Sincere apologies for the delayed notice. Hope many(if not all) of you will participate. It's a load of fun. They even have a loser's lounge to drown your sorrows in.
