There will be plenty of suspended matches. It is going to be a lousy tournament for the pool runners

If we had a "nodding head" emoji, there would be three of them here.

may be more appropriate.

Both my women and men picks have been moved to Wednesday

Unless you picked players on Centre Court, most people's picks will be moved to Wednesday. Cry indeed

I'm quickly remembering why I hate doing the Wimbledon pool

It looks like by the end of play on Tuesday, 25 people have survived to day 3 (those who picked Sandgren, Federer, Gasquet, and Hurkacz) and the rest of have to wait. Unfortunately the 10 Krajinovic pickers didn't make it.

I have been waiting until all of the Day 1 matches are finished before I start looking at the results of the Day 2 matches. One of the problems is that people whose Day 1 picks lose on Day 2 or Day 3 will change the numbers of Day 2 picks for each player. My plan is to update the Day 2 pick numbers after the last of the Day 1 matches are done, and add them to the bottom of the initial Day 2 pick summary post, and then start red/greening the Day 2 picks. This means that the Day 3 pick summary will end up with three different sets of numbers: the initial set, the after-the-end-of-Day-1-matches numbers, and the after-the-end-of-Day-2-matches numbers.

In addition, I am not going to be updating the list of individual picks until the last match for that day has been played.

Since we don't have a "frustrated" emoji, I'll have to go with this combination:

Initial Day 3 pick summary:

Bautista Agut 1
Evans 10
Fognini 15
Fucsovics 4
Khachanov 9
Koepfer 7
Korda 47
Murray 23
Rublev 1
Schwartzman 5
Shapovalov 6
Tiafoe 3

Confusion
Sense of Order

Day 3 pick summary after updating for the Day 1 and Day 2 results

Start 116
No Pick 6
Alive at start 110

Bautista Agut 1
Evans 8
Fognini 14
Fucsovics 4
Khachanov 7
Koeffer 6
Korda 34
Murray 18
Schwartsman 5
Shapovalov 6
Tiafoe1

Live 110
Dead 0
In Limbo 0

No deaths, congratulations players.

The suspended matches gives us a chance to see how many ways we would have been knocked out with our back-logged picks

Let's look at it the positive way: there are a LOT of people alive by Wednesday.
Or dead but without knowing it

Perhaps we should rename this The Zombie Apocalypse.

The Day 1 matches are finally over.

The individual pick lists have been updated to include all Day 1 matches.
