Yes. The first three days each had death rates between 30% and 50% of the contestants that had lived until that day.
by ashkor87 I am actually sooo surprised I am still alive, never made it this far in the men's SP before...
by tennisbrp Going to die with Laaksonen which was predictable but I felt blocked into a future corner by picking Shwartzman who I needed to save one more round....as the suicide pools go never pick from the one of two matches you know literally nothing about

I learned that with this pool, you have to just live to fight another day!

Crash!!! And the largest bandwagon of the day bites the dust.
by ponchi101 We could have a winner today.
by patrick If there is indeed a winner, someone needs to do the video that Medvedev did after winning 3rd round in 2019 being booed in the process.

But, no. Alcaraz manages to get through.

and I'll take it since I had to pick him today to have any chance of beating the draw...I didn't see the whole match, but it looks like Gojo lost his legs otherwise...

Another great example of how crazy SPs can get. The only reason it didn't end on day 7 was because someone I'd never heard of before this week won a match to make the quarters. :)

We are clearly going to lose some people today. Also, it is clear that some contestants will survive.
by texasniteowl so yay for those of us who survived today!

but...am I misreading anyone's pick history or am I the only one who can still make a pick for the final (I haven't used Djokovic before)?
by wadetj I’m out - picked both Djokovic and Medvedev already. Happy to have made it this far !
by texasniteowl Yeah, I can't believe I made it to this point either! I don't think I've made it past day 5 before!
by ozjohn53 I have no picks left either, went for a few people a round too early. But like others happy to have made it this far and big thank you to the organizers.

You are correct!! The others have also used Medvedev, so they have no picks at all.

p.s. To actually beat the draw, you will still need to post your pick on the "Finals Pick" thread.
by ashkor87 that was fun.. thanks to the organizers and all other players..

i fell at the last hurdle - to be more accurate, I had no horse to ride at the last hurdle.. will have to plan better next time..!
by ponchi101 99.5% of all players in the pools need to plan better next time! ;)
