And 2 more that picked Blinkova....well, she just got blown off the court 61 in the first. This is crazy so far!

I'm always scared when I make picks in this contest --- and for good reason! Hopefully, Pegula will overcome the bandwagon odds and make it through.G2gaynor wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 11:40 am Well, day 2 is a dumpster fire. And we are only 2.5 hours into it. To my unofficial count, started with 145 (10 lost on day 1). We got 12 no picks on day 2, Bertens gone (3 picks), Cornet gone (22 picks), and Osorio Serrano gone (10 picks). Rogers was up a double break at 5-2, served for the match once and was broken. She was up 5-3 in the breaker, had 3 match points. She lost it all and was broken in the first game of the third set. She had 5 picks too. All I can say is the 22 people that picked Kasatkina, 26 that picked Pegula, and 14 that picked Mertens....be scared!!!

Re: 2021 French Open Suicide Draw Pool: WTA results thread
So just to confirm, we’re picking a winner for each day; not each round? Given that round 1 is spread out over 3 days, can’t my winning pick (Keys) be enough to get me to round 2?

Yes, picking a winner for each day—one of the reasons the FO is the hardest pool to win!

Re: 2021 French Open Suicide Draw Pool: WTA results thread
the young ones let me down! Had too much faith in youth - Ossorio Serrano (what a lovely name too!).. Kostyuk lived up to my expectations of her but, sadly, I did not bet on her.. too bad..

Re: 2021 French Open Suicide Draw Pool: WTA results thread
Day 2, losers! Was your losing pick DANK or STANK? Let's find out:
Alize Cornet (22 victims) STANK TMQ was actually shocked by the number of people who chose Cornet--why would you pick from this match when there were so...many...others? It's been awhile since Cornet has taken out a large chunk of the pool, but whenever it happens you deserve it.
Maria Camila Osorio Serrano (10 victims) DANK Tempting first round pick given her recent results, but y'all put way too much pressure on her for a Grand Slam debut match.
Petra Martic (8 victims) DANK Martic is usually good to come through few SP rounds most slams, but not for you!
Sara Sorribes Tormo (7 victims) DANKAnother player with a flameout after a promising clay season, who I would have held off choosing until she made it through a round. Zhang is crafty and both a lot of junk and flat balls; I would have made a safer pick.
Shelby Rogers (4 victims) DANKShelby was all but through when she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, dragging you down with her.
Kiki Bertens (2 victims) STANKOne of the biggest beneficiaries of this bogus two-year ranking system, Bertens has only won one match so far this year, against an opponent ranked 708 in the world. You didn't do your research.
Anna Blinkova (2 victims)STANKBaptiste is on the rise and one to watch--too dangerous to pick against her with an opponent that I'm guessing you've never actually seen play. If you have, you must be her coach or her mom.
Laura Siegemund (1 victim) STANK STANK STANKTMQ has named Siegemund "Most Obnoxious Player on Tour" and personally delights in each and every one of her ever-increasing-in-frequency losses.
Johanna Konta (1 victim) STANKI'm going to chalk up this misguided choice to the fact that the picker has probably spent most of the last year hiking through the mountains and hasn't seen Konta play tennis in 2021.
Alison van Uytvanck (1 victim) STANK Perhaps it escaped your attention that Trevisan made the quarterfinals here last year?
Lara Arruabarrena (1 victim) STANKA-whatta-bawho-a?
Alize Cornet (22 victims) STANK TMQ was actually shocked by the number of people who chose Cornet--why would you pick from this match when there were so...many...others? It's been awhile since Cornet has taken out a large chunk of the pool, but whenever it happens you deserve it.

Re: 2021 French Open Suicide Draw Pool: WTA results thread
Not to mention that Cornet withdrew mid-match from Strasbourg LAST WEEK. I almost always do my homework, but I was asleep at the wheel this time. My worst pick ever.JTContinental wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 1:42 am

Re: 2021 French Open Suicide Draw Pool: WTA results thread
You obviously noted who the Konta picker was! The defense of my pick that you gave for me is what I'll go with. But, really, it was a total WTF pick. I saw no good options, so I was just thinking, why not? She was always going to lose that match, so I thought I'd go along for the ride.

Re: 2021 French Open Suicide Draw Pool: WTA results thread
Day 3 is fraught with suspect picks. TMQ smells more blood, peril, and heartache--three of my favorite suicide pool accoutrements.
1 more faint of heart soul dropped out with a no pick, leaving us with 71 remaining players. The breakdown:
Fiona Ferro 12
Magda Linette 10
Anett Kontaveit 10
Ekaterina Alexandrova 10
Maria Sakkari 7
Karolina Muchova 6
Sloane Stephens 4
Barbora Krejcicova (!) 4
Cori Gauff 2
Astra Sharma 1
Elina Svitolina 1
Jennifer Brady 1
Karolina Pliskova 1
Shuai Zhang 1
Su-Wei Hsieh 1
