by ponchi101 And Alexandrova, and 28 of us, has a date with Nakashima, who is going to show her around town.

by Suliso I thought about it but then Rakhimova looked too dangerous.

by ponchi101 Somebody that is ranked exactly 100 places below her looked too dangerous?
You certainly know way more about this sport than I do

by JTContinental Mostly accurate numbers, although we had 6 zombies and 2 no picks--I count 139 left to start the day

Elise Mertens 43
Ekaterina Alexandrova 28

I try to avoid taking low seeds against very young players (20) possibly underranked.

by Suliso I see someone actually picked Rakhimova! It wasn't me, though.

The picker in question is a regular risk taker

Alexandrova is a non-starter for me. Her wins and losses are extremely erratic.

by DU Pioneers It shows me as having no pick for day 2, when I picked Kontaveit. I think the day 2 thread shows that (post #93). Just want to make sure I’m still alive, for now. Thanks for running these!

It shows Day 2 Kontaveit, and for day 3 Collins. You have posted your day 4 pick.
Let's give JT a little time to fix that.

I also try to avoid picking matches with qualifiers in the early rounds. I think it was too late at night when I picked Alexandrova - I meant to pick Rybakina.

by JTContinental Fixed--TMQ regrets the error

by JTContinental After 4 no picks, we still have 105 left for day 4. The numbers are not very evenly distributed today, with over half of you making the same pick

Jessica Pegula 55
Paula Badosa 14
Petra Kvitova 8
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 8
Belinda Bencic 5
Iga Swiatek 3
Maria Sakkari 3
Shelby Rogers 2
Anett Kontaveit 2
Sara Sorribes Tormo 1
Liudmila Samsonova 1
Bianca Andreescu 1
Ajla Tomljanovic 1
Shuai Zhang 1

by JTContinental I count 89 still alive for Day 5. I'm headed out of town for a few days, and ponchi has graciously stepped up to volunteer to run things while I'm gone. Play nice, all!

by sokol It looks like it's going to be a huge Krejcikova bandwagon today, kind of makes me worry . On paper looks like she is supposed to win, but had many times when I crashed on large bandwagons where it looked to be an easy pick )). Hoping we all survive today

Got to love a big (bad) bandwagon, right? I only hopped on after checking out most of today's h2h numbers as wel as the potential next round h2h numbers and this was the best option, statistically speaking. So yeah, I'm fooling myself into thinking stats and SP's mix well

by ponchi101 We start the day with 90, and no NO PICKS. These are the picks for day 5:
Krejcikova 52
Svitolina 16
Jabeur 9
Halep 4
Osaka 4
Kerber 2
Muguruza 1
Sabalenka 1
Stevens 1

Krejcikova is the clear bandwagon, and I believe it is a solid pick. But, she is playing a qualifier, and maybe you saw the analysis I did. Plus, if I say it is a solid pick, that should send shivers down your spine.
We are guaranteed to have some losses as we have picks from the same match, on both sides.
I have updated your individual picks in the initial page of this topic. Please take a look to be sure I copied the right pick.
If anything is wrong, I will still blame JT. But I will correct it

by nelslus Well, IT can now be said: I had a twinge of anxiety with my Krejcikova pick vs. Rachmaninoff (who is a NOISY!!!! little sprite, BTW) pick. My last two picks have been me choosing two players (Pegula before this) where I had seen them play absolute crap in doubles before making my picks. Forgetting some of the conspiracy theories that I've recently read from some of you that Krejcikova might have basically tanked the doubles or whatever (my theory is that, at least with the men's and women's doubles, winning Olympic gold, in addition to a Slam title and other tournament wins during recent months, just proved to be too much stress for the men's and women's doubles gold medalists)- I just thought, hey, crap doubles play doesn't have to mean similar results in their singles matches. At least I was correct concerning Krejcikova and Pegula. And, I can't hate on them, fan-wise, if they now continue winning- the risks we all must take for our imaginary little trophies.

It was mostly Rachmaninoff's contribution. And, we thank her.

by catman It's just that Halep, Muguruza, Svitolina are all so predictable. Azarenka is a bit more even, but to pick her you had to assume a bad day from Muguruza. Those aren't any safer to predict than a good day.

I forgot Kerber and Stevens. I can never tell if Angelique has decided to retire the last three years. Sloane, good to see you competing again!!

Yeah! Whohoo!

by ponchi101 The day ends with 14 people getting stools at the Loser's Lounge. Update tomorrow a short while after play starts.

by ponchi101 Picks for Saturday (day 6) are as this:
Started: 76
NO PICKS: 3
With picks: 73

Spread:
Pavlyuchenkova 32
Andreescu 22
Bencic 6
SorribesTormo 5
Pliskova 4
Raducanu 3
Barty 1

Two clear choices, and then a proper spread.
As there are 3 no picks, PLEASE CHECK YOUR NAME AND PICK, VS THE DAY'S TOPIC. As JT and I are taking turns, I may have missed somebody's picks.

Good luck to all, although in reality, we always hope for the bandwagons to crash. Less work for us (Andreescu is almost through, anyway).

by JTContinental I’m always happy to be eliminated from the pool early if I take Ash Barty with me

by ponchi101 Only six players dropped out today, leaving us with 67.
Fun fact: not one single LARGEST BANDWAGON OF THE DAY has fallen off the cliff.
I can see myself handing out 15 trophies. Really.

Does that mean we're getting better at this game or have we just been lucky?

by Suliso There is an enormous Kerber bandwagon forming, but yet again it just makes sense to hop on it.

But overall this is becoming very complicated now. I see 12/16 remaining players with a realistic title chance...

Sincerely, I believe that because the WTA is so even now, we are not seeing huge bandwagons every day. I believe the largest bandwagon has been a 55, which went through and was a very safe pick (Krejcikova, day 5). We are spreading our picks so much that we don't get slaughtered that easily and frequently. Still, as Suliso says, some people will be left out of medals because they have picked a high seed that will go far. Pliskova, Muguruza and Sabalenka have been picked already and, of course, if Krejcikova reaches the semis most people will be left without picks. Almost all have to really wish Mugu beats her today.

by ponchi101 The breakdown for day 7 picks is:
From Day 6: 67
NO PICKS: 2
Start: 65

Breakdown:
Kerber 31
Sabalenka 16
Muguruza 10
Halep 3
Krejcikova 3
Fernandez 2

The pick of the day is Kerber, but we are guaranteed to lose players as we have picks from the same matches on both sides (Mugu/Krejcikova, Kerber/Fernandez).
Kind of surprising that we all are in agreement about Svitolina.

Despite the fact that we have a lot of people, this will be the last day for this topic. I will start a new one for Day 8, both to make it easier for me and because you people have done great.
Best of luck.

As always: CHECK YOUR PICK. Mistakes are not unavoidable.

I don't think that assessment is correct. Only the 3 people picking against her are sure. The rest, myself included, are only waiting to see who wins and plan to take the winner against Kerber or Fernandez if we're still alive by then.

by ponchi101 No wonder I am out...

And some of us have used Svitolina already.

Co-sign. I’m not usually this happy to get knocked out.

by ponchi101 The day was a SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY. 2/3 of the pool were taken out.
UPDATE topic for tomorrow. Feel bad for all the people that lost today. Those were solid picks.

by Suliso Beating the draw unlikely now...
