The numbers

Maria Sakkari 39
Emma Raducanu 33
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 16
Olga Danilovic 12
Marta Kostyuk 12
Polina Kudermetova 6
Caty McNally 5
Dayana Yastremska 5
Anastasia Potapova 4
Marketa Vondrousova 3
Jasmine Paolini 2
Elina Svitolina 2
Ekaterina Alexandrova 1
Anna Blinkova 1
Magdalena Frech 1
Talia Gibson 1
Beatriz Haddad Maia 1
Himeno Sakatsume 1

Fantastic, cheeked by Vondrousova on Day 1, three hours in. I didn't know she withdrew from a tournament earlier this month with a shoulder issue. Taylor Townsend takes her place - silver lining.

I do not see my day 1 pick on this list. I can see my pick in the day 1 picks thread.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, your pick was made after the start of play.

I cant believe I picked Sakkari - and got away with it! She is the flakiest, most unreliable player out there, I really should know better.

A truly 50-50 pick. You played with fire, indeed.

Potapova pickers got really lucky.

Nah, Sakkari was a good pick. She played well in the leadup tournaments but not well wnough to indicate she can make a run.

This was my exact rationale.

That was my exact rationale last year, when she was already in decline.
And promptly lost to Osorio and knocked me out in day 1
