This means that the two contestants will have to made Day 2 picks and need to have Muguruza and their Day 2 picks win to advance to Day 3.
by dave g Since I live in US Central time, I will be asleep during almost all of the Australian Open matches. Normally, during the day, I would be editing this list by marking players who lost their matches in red and players who won their matches in green. Since I am going to be asleep, feel free to make these edits as the day progresses.

Looks like we haven't had a chance to update with Day 3 picks yet.
I hope you'll want as much credit for your losing day picks!
by ponchi101 As it is very unbefitting of a lady to talk about men, especially men she does not “know”, I will refrain myself from expressing an opinion on bachelors that have suffered a defeat at a sport I quite do not understand. However, a lady cannot live from the future royalties from books that will best-sell long after she is dead and since this mysterious man from South America, Poncho I believe, showed up and promised a pretty penny for just a few lines of tennistic gossip, what can a lady do? I accepted to do the writing just because a lady must eat and so does her corgi, and besides, Rebecca is dying of consumption and the funeral arrangements will certainly put a dent on the finances of dear mama.
It seems that a peculiar event is being held in the Southern Colonies, one in which women that do not mind perspiration to soil their clothing perform. Oddly, the prize is in actual monetary goods and not the promise of marriage and a life lived properly in a modest 75 room manor, and the loot is considerable, as opposed to the rewards of those of us that toil the pen and paper while we wait for the proper gentleman to appear in our lives and save us from the misfortune of eternal spinster-hood.
The loot will be trivial for a certain young lady by the name of Alize Cornet. Mademoiselle Cornet, as she is from France, was once again unable to live to expectations and, while not mauled to death in some horrendous fashion, was tripped by a young American with a peculiar name, Miss Ann Li, whose ancestry can be safely said to be from the Far East. Mmselle Cornet, still unattached to any suitable Parisian man, seems to be forced to continue to roam the world, single, in search of that great promise she showed ages ago. By now she is only good for a possible first rounder, and that comes with caveats of its own. Her better days are past, her youth is fading, and having selected her was not a sign of wisdom. By now, she could become what is usually referred to as a “Trophy Wife”, but rather “Consolation Trophy”.
Countess P. Kvitova, from the realm of Bohemia, is also falling on the hard times that prey on women as they become elderly. That this not-so-young woman is unable to gain proper footing in her love life reflects glaringly on her profession of choice, as she is also failing to conquer what in the past were routine achievements. Time is running out on her, and she is by now capitalizing on her looks and former glory, pretty much like my dear acquaintance Lady Theresa Bossomtushy, who despite marrying well and early, has fallen into hard times as Lord Bossomtushy has become way too fond of the bottle and gambles while under the influence, with the expected losses accruing. Picking Miss Kvitova shall become a cautionary tale since, as it is said in the financial circles (I am told, as I do not mingle with those that are obsessed with possessions), past performances are no guarantee for future gains. 3 souls are therefore laid down as they had high hopes in Countess Kvitova. A leaning experience indeed.
However, no event was more bone rattling than the fate of a certain Miss V. Williams. The V stands for Venus, which either tells of parents fond of astronomy or the expectation of ravishing beauty, of which only one case became true. Miss Venus, already 40 and unmarried, fell to a certain Signorina Sara Errani. Now, a little digging finds plenty of dirt and in the case of Signorina Errani, it seems that the consensus is that she is a ruffian of the foulest kind, with a mouth that would shame any and all thieves in Rome and a petulance that rivals that of madams in Italian bordellos (of which I would know only hearsay). Miss Williams rolled one of her ankles (a rather difficult thing to envision to those that properly remain indoors year-round) and was unable to perform at any reasonable level, while Errani treacherously employed the vilest and most devious combinations of drops, lobs and angles to make Williams patrol the entirety of the court. Williams by now is of an age too extreme for these matters and, a spinster too (they seem to populate this sport), she is no longer a viable option anywhere outside our Isles and will most likely become a good aunt, not the Lady of any decent household. 12 poor souls go down with her, to much chagrin.
Well, some people have died in this business today, and I will leave the tales of future mayhem for some other person to write. If you will excuse me, the exertion of writing these lines have affected me and I must leave you, as I feel that at any minute I may faint. Tata!

Posting things to the individual contestant pick list, takes a fair amount of hand work. While I am keeping my record of the picks in a spreadsheet, which doesn't take too much work, posting those results to the thread requires more work. I end up essentially deleting everything in the post, and pasting the results from the spreadsheet. At the old website, I was able to code the 'redding' into the spreadsheet, and paste all of the current results into the post. However, with this website, I am not able to code the 'redding' into the spreadsheet, so I have to redo the 'redding' by hand every time I post new results to the thread. Therefore, I prefer to limit this task to once per day, after all the results are in.
by JTContinental No worries--I wasn't even looking at the individual pick list, as I know that's a big job even on the old board. I was looking at post 20, and I think my pick was added later in the evening.

That is true. I hadn't notice that I had missed Li in my pick summary until you had mentioned it.
by JazzNU About Badosa. She did a great job almost winning that match. That was hardly my point. There were quite a few choices, I was just surprised anyone, let alone 3 people, would go with the symptomatic covid positive player that hadn't played a match in a month and hit a ball for the first time less than a week ago. If she had won her match, I'd have been just as surprised to learn those picks were made.

by ponchi101 We start dying today. Some tough picks coming.
by karlovicfanclub The men's pool only has 31 players left. In møst of the recent suicide pools, the women have been much more unpredictable than the men and the suicide pool numbers have reflected that. In this event, there haven't been as many upsets so far in the women's draw, at least the kind that cause bandwagons to collapse. Looking at the matches for Day 6, I'm sure the numbers will stop to drop.
by ponchi101 The ATP pool was decimated by the Scruff event. In the last pool at TAT1.0 we saw the same thing: the women's pool lasted longer. That was because, I think, the women's side is so even that there are no more bandwagons. We don't have 100 people picking Wozniacki in the first round of RG, or something like that.
Notice that all the picks are like 10 people here, 12 there. At that rate, there is no sudden event that cleans the pool of souls.
My idea.

There was nothing in the spreadsheet that would have made you red. I will have to watch the results of the process a little closer, because there is nothing in the process that should have turned you red.
by ponchi101 At Chez Mladenovic, the news was treated as by now a normal event, something that was almost perhaps written previously and that brought little concern to the household. Indeed, the news, when the family thought about it in deeper analysis, was not so bad. Mademoiselle Kristina, Kiki to her acquaintances, had actually lost three rounds later than expected, if one included the fact that she in reality should be playing in the qualifying tournament, regardless of her ranking, and that entrance to any and all tournaments should be, for her, limited to the event of “Fortunate Failure”, as when somebody else had more pressing matters and could not fulfill her tenistic obligations. If seen in the cold light of reality, a trashing by the impolite American Pegula was far more convenient than her recent habit of building what would be unsurmountable leads to even the tragically famous Miss Helen Keller, but which Kiki would then regurgitate in the most repugnant fashion. Still, she had looked wonderful on court, clad in a lovely assemble from the House of Herr Adi Dassler and her swift demise made it for the attire to basically be soil-less. If one where to descend into the odious habit of placing wagers, by now it should be clear that those betting for Miss Mladenovic would only be in far firmer ground than those treading on African quicksand.
The lovely Mrs Karolina Pliskova, recently wed to the handsome Lord Anonymov (one hears nothing about the gentleman), had to face a familiar foe, since her friend and companion Karolina Muchova was her adversary for the afternoon. Pliskova, dressed in an attire of such extreme plainness that one would have to wonder whether somebody’s service dog chose it for her, was in the foulest of moods as she went down after building an extraordinary lead in the second set, perhaps a reversal of roles with Miss Mladenovic (although one does not know if they correspond with each other). Muchova, also dressed in the most extreme inconspicuoity, played the kind of game that brings victory simply because of tediousness from the other player. Still, she survives, as opposed to Pliskova, whom with advanced age becomes a shakier pick with every year that passes.
However, none of this equaled the great consternation with which the news was received at the Estonian Palace. Princess Annet had been badly treated while on a tennis court, and, although wonderfully dressed by the House of Fila, she had also led the encounter only to see her efforts wasted by her sheer incompetence to understand that the point of the matter was to keep the ball within the lines but away from her opponent, not the other way around. She had gone down meekly but that was a trivial matter; her good looks and wonderful charm will ensure her proper betrothal in the most favorable of ways, sooner rather than later. The same, however, will be unlikely for her friend Kaia, who toiled and sweat for almost three hours dressed in garments with no signature and therefore no style or grace. Miss Kanepi labored hard and long, sweating profusely to the point that her rather bulky frame was plainly and profanely visible under her uninspiring clothes and, in the end, like a strong Percheron that pulls itself to the slaughterhouse, snorted to an inglorious death at the hands of a Croatian handmaiden that, ignominiously, even looked better than her.
It was, all in all, a day of tranquil tragedy and the people of Melbourne City continued their stoic routine, the unspoken understanding that feces do take place still holding a firm grasp on the collective psyche of the classless and mundane populace. For the patricians, a glass of cherry would be the sole consolation by the end of the evening.

by kknudsen I really debated my pick and knew I’d be going against the bandwagon if I picked Hsieh. But with her doubles ranking, I couldn’t bet against her. I’m so glad I didn’t!
by jazzyg Hsieh was always going to beat Vondrousova. She's had a lot more big wins in slams than Vondrousova even though Vondrousova reached the RG final two years ago.

I think at least 32 other people disagree with you ... but luckily for me you’re right! I got taken out in the Struff bloodbath, so nice to have survived this one!

nelslus I mean, I wouldn't pick Vondrousova to spell her last name correctly. Condolences and all, I guess. But, enough already. Could someone please post the Day 8 women's picks, so I can keep my focus on being a winner? The stench of the Vondrousova picker losers is beginning to nauseate me.
