by JTContinental Welcome all to the tiny corridor we have graciously allowed for you to stand crammed like cattle, peering into the grand UPDATED main room, which only contains 5 occupants this go around. Try not to inhale all the gold and diamond dust floating in the air; we will have to charge you for that.

Speaking of our 5 remaining VIPS, shall we name them?

by JTContinental What's that noise? Is there in unruly dog in my club? No, it's just Barkin' Laura Siegemund, whom all 5 players have chosen to make the QF. Given the track record of the bandwagons at this year's festivities, I'm assuming this contest will be over by the end of the day, leaving me free to scrounge up every pedestal that I can find in every nook and cranny of the arts center to display the brown pots and vases crafted by the affluent, elderly hands of the citizens of Kirkland, Washington.

by ponchi101 Yes. That is a risky pick. I saw Solana's match vs Boulter and she has a good chance. At least, that match is 50%.

by JTContinental And Laura barks on! All 5 players advance to Day 8
