Great first day - committed hari kari on the men's side with Nishioka and still waiting for the result of my women's pick. I think I need some sake!

Kerber's game relies on her speed and ability to basically get down on her knees every shot to hit those great angles, and both of those skills seems to have lost a big step in the past two years.

Confidential to nelslus: Fuscovics has a pretty gorgeous smiley of his own :D

I made the silly mistake of assuming Millman would win his first round match in front of his hometown fans. As it was, I barely squeaked by with Cornet or else I'd be finished on both sides of the draw.

Double checked. Decided on one super safe pick (Hurkacz) and one semi-risky pick (Sharma). Same result in both, almost won their matches in the final set, but no win.

Hurkacz sounds like something the cat would throw up, which you would then clean up with a sharma.

SEE, and here is where we now get to feel like smug geniuses. We dared to scoff at the well-known TAT Law of Never Picking Against an Otherwise Useless But Local Slam Scrub WC, we instead picked a useless scrub who perhaps got named F**k-o-vicz a few times this evening- and we live to see another Suicide Pool Day- however fleetingly. (Note: This is where I'd normally post the "Gorgeous" Smilie, but, I gotta ask, just where the F**k-o-vicz is the "Gorgeous" Smilie?!?!) :cry:
....AND then you tempt the Suicide Pool gods by trying to pick against another useless local Aussie scrub, only to find that....your pick did not exactly have the....wait for it, wait for it.....RIGHT STRUFF. :gorgeous: (i.e., NOT such a genius move.)

NEVERTHELESS, HEY, I live for (at least) a third day in the women's pool, after a first-day pick of Down 0-4 in the third set Cornet. (i.e., genius move.) :shock:
