No sense, anyway, as I said. Let´s see if Kostyuk beats Gauff and there´s a chance to beat the draw (highly unlikely, I know).
I think you (and Kostyuk and Yastremska) have a decent shot.

Seasons you mean. Surely. :P

BTW, Grancordero. I will not award your trophy yet, as it is traditional that we wait until the person is out of the pool. Also, we are rotting for you to beat the draw, and you know, we have this thing about jinxes and such.
Hope to award your trophy ON SATURDAY. ;)

Well, it did not go GranCordero's way, but still, a fine first time showing.
Your :trophy: has been awarded, GC. May it be the first of many :clap:

Congratulations, Grancordero!

I was pulling for you and Kostyuk vs Gauff.
But yikes, what a stress fest - I didn't watch that match so much as it happened to me.

And meganfernandez, well done! I failed to qualify for the tournament and still had a great time lol :)

Haha, don't go placing ideas like that :D

We'd all have to hope to be lucky losers I think!

Thanks for your good attitude about the Day 1 deadline. So sorry! Next time! Think of the misery you avoided, though. It was a tough one.
