UPDATED 2025 FOSP Women's Picks & Results Thread

[JTContinental]

Welcome invitees and those who have come to bask in their greatness! 13 players have survived the treacherous first few days of this vindictive SP and have qualified for UPDATED thread infamy. TMQ doesn't want to jinx things (lies) but the revelry of the UPDATED thread often proves to be overwhelming, leading to exceedingly poor choices on the first day. But for now, let's name and celebrate our remaining players:

[JTContinental]

Our unlucky 13th player DQ'ed by no pick, leaving us with a dozen. We've got one showdown and and huge bandwagon.

The breakdown

Qinwen Zheng 10
Jasmine Paolini 1
Elina Svitolina 1

[JTContinental]

TMQ will be out and about tomorrow, so even though this could potentially end today, I'm setting up the Day 9 thread for any survivors.

[ptmcmahon]

It won’t end today, although we could have a solo winner decided (since Paolini played Svitolina)

[JTContinental]

11 remaining players all making relatively safe picks today

The breakdown

Jessica Pegula 8
Madison Keys 3

Survivors: 3
Dead: 8
Unknown: 0

[JTContinental]

Opening the day 10 thread as I’ll be unavailable in the day

[Oploskoffie]

11 pickers made relatively safe choices. 72,73% of them were just taken out by Lois Boisson

[Suliso]

They could still get medals (unlikely)

[ptmcmahon]

Down to 3.

Oops!

[JTContinental]

Everyone took Swiatek today

[JTContinental]

Today everyone takes Gauff, all who perhaps hasn’t seen a)Coco’s record vs Keys and b)Coco’s record vs Andreeva

[Oploskoffie]

So much for Andreeva's record against Gauff.... Boisson strikes again!!

[Suliso]

What to do now? Take Boisson or Sabalenka?

[ptmcmahon]

This is always the hardest debate in the SP. Do you go with the pick more likely to get you through, or the one more likely to give you a chance to beat the draw.
