The Greatest Loser 2025: The Scoreboard!

[Oploskoffie]

Week one is over, and not without the fair share of unwanted wins and losses Category C players Lamens and Joint perhaps exceeded their own expectations, while all popular category B picks who played lived up to ours. We're moving on to Beijing, which starts tomorrow (at the time of writing that is) and offers us the ONLY 100 points reward for a first round failure of the whole competition! Haven't traded yet? Be sure to check if you want or need to do so!

Congrats to early leader ptmcmahon who had a very active roster of players, with 11 out of 12 playing in Seoul and most of them out before the quarters Things would probably have been a bit closer behind 1st place if popular wild card pick Zhu hadn't pulled out with a hip injury but she's getting a second chance with a wild card of her own for Beijing.

The week one scores are, as per my own tradition, categorized, this time by Kate Bush tracks

[Oploskoffie]

Someone had to pick Anisimova; we could have had the scores up at least a day earlier

Week 2/3 congratulations go to ptmcmahon; the distance between places 1 and 2 has now more than doubled The second best Beijing score belongs to tenedab and Oploskoffie pips texasniteowl to third.

With just two tournaments played, we aren't even halfway yet, and the distance between the current mid field positions are about two first round losses. Wuhan, while also a WTA 1000 tournament only has a 56 player draw, so fewer chances for those 70 points score. Make sure to check your need to trade

This week's categories are headed by, to keep things current, Taylor Swift tracks:

[Oploskoffie]

We're at the halfway mark, and week 4 congratulations go to Omegadoom who moves up three spots into second with the only 500+ score! New England Nitemare moves up a place into seventh and ponchi scores a battling 420 points for the third highest Wuhan score!

First and second are now separated by a little over two first round losses, with the battle for third currently inside one R32 loss more or less. While we're out of WTA 1000 tournaments, we are into multiple-tournaments-per-week territory, so lots still to play for

[Oploskoffie]

Week 5 is over and while the top-4 remained unchanged, there was some movement a little further down the rankings!

The best score of the week was Oploskoffie's 497 points, followed by a tie for second between tenedab and texasniteowl with 417 points.

In the overall rankings, Oploskoffie moves up three spots, New England Nitemare moves up one spot and both Jeff from TX and dave g take two steps back.

With just two more weeks to go and no less than five tournaments, this may well turn out to be the Goldilocks zone for trading; best of luck to us all!

Not too hot, and not too cold... so ... everyone loses in round 2 or 3?

Something like that wouldn't be a bad result, really I'm still hopeful that we can wrap things up before the weekend in the final week

[ptmcmahon]

Now you've jixned it...someone's D player or Wild card will win a last week tournament now!

[Oploskoffie]

Week 6 finished a day early and we're about to move into the final week of the final fantasy contest of 2026!!

After some relatively close scoring, this week's top performer was dave g with 320 points, followed by texasniteowl with 300 points and only five points behind is tenedab with 295.

In the overall standings, ptmcmahon has the lead, as has been the case since week 1! 2nd through 4th place is separated by less than a first round loss, with the gap to the #1 position less than two of those. Not everyone has a trade left. Some of us still have more than one. This could be a really close finish - here's wishing all of us the best of luck!!

[ptmcmahon]

With only two players this week and no trades, I could easily slip from 1st to 4th. That would be truly being a great Loser after leading from week 1!

[texasniteowl]

I'm fairly certain tenedab is in really good shape. I was looking to see if I can make a further move, and I think both tenedab and myself have 6 players active if I looked at things right.

and of course I never count out omegadoom...

[ptmcmahon]

Scared to look, Omega probably has 12 players and is going to finish first

[Omegadoom]

I wish, lol. With 6 players remaining, both Tenedab and TNO have the inside track to the title.

I'm just hoping to sneak onto the podium, and that you're like the 2015 Kentucky Wildcats, where they were #1 all season, but got knocked out in the Final Four by Wisconsin, and I'm Wisconsin

[texasniteowl]

lol. 6 players don't do me any good if they won't lose!

I'm fairly certain Tenedab has it in the bag. But it's a toss up for silver vs. bronze still.
