2022 Wimbledon YCWJ Results and Lounge.

Think it's easier to pick losers than winners? We'll see about that.

Motobass has almost assured the Spoon, since he has both Maria and Jabeur alive. Maria is his #1 pick, so he would get four points, but if the upset happens, he still gets two point, putting him at 47 points.
Dave g has Jabeur still, but at #2. If the upset happens, AND Maria loses in the final, he will collect a juicy 15 points bonus, PLUS 6 more points for two more rounds of winning/losing. Motobass would only collect 14 points, so Dave would pull ahead.
GlennHarman has Jabeur at #3, and is a bit too far back.
Tolulops has Djokovic as a #2 pick, and is a bit too far back.
Ktothem1 has Djokovic and Jabeur, but is also too far back (and his Djokovic ride is his #4 pick, which will earn too little).
Everybody else has been demised. You picked way too many winners.

Unfortunately, I do not expect jabeur to lose tomorrow.
Congratulations, Motobass.

With the semis over, we can all CONGRATULATE MOTOBASS FOR HIS SECOND YCWJ WOODEN SPOON. A very, very close contest, but he cleared the rest of the field in the last few rounds.
And he is not done yet.
At the moment, he is in the lead with 49 points. Second place is Dave G, with 41, and third place is Ponchi101, with 39. But Motobass still has his #1 pick in the WTA, represented by Jabeur. So, if Rybakina wins, Motobass will collect 4 more points for the round, PLUS a huge 20 Pts bonus. I would have to ask Tog but if that would not be the highest score ever, it would certainly be close.
I will not award your spoon yet, simply because of the well-known jinxing powers of the contest staff, but will be rooting tomorrow for Rybakina. way to go, Motobass :spoon: :trophy:

This is really amazing. It has been at least a decade between those medals. Picks were based on my draw and the actual tournament brackets shaped up to look almost nothing like it.

Motobass indeed CHOSE THE WOODEN :spoon: His initial selection INGLIS, proved to be one solid choice. The sequence for wooden spoon was:
Inglis - Galfi - Juvan - Watson - Niemeier - Maria - Jabeur - Rybakina
Plus, he ends with a massive 73 points. Probably the highest score in our game in a long time, if not ever.
I will increase your wooden spoon count ASAP. Congrats, and good luck at the USO.

Congratulations, hubby! :heart:

Hard to watch this match as we were conflicted about wanting Ons...wanting a good match...but also wanting that wooden spoon. :yahoo:

Thanks, ponchi101 for running a great contest! 🙏 🙏

Thanks ponchi101! Coming here for over a decade and happy to see the TAT boards still going strong with the best commenters and mods anywhere. I'd like to thank my wife, Irena2; my team; my physio; and especially my mom and dad - without them, I wouldn't be here. See you all for the USO!

Although the contest is over, a final stat.
The Wooded Spoon on the men's side was Felix Auger-Aliassime. The losing sequence was:
Auger-Aliassime/Cressy/ Sock/ Kubler/ Fritz/ Nadal/ Kyrgios.
Nobody picked him because he was a mid-high seed (#9) so it was not expected that he would not beat Cressy. More proof that this game is truly difficult.
See you all at the USO. :beers:

Congrats to Motobass! A fine effort indeed!
It seems like time is going backwards towards 1984 . . . :freaking:
