I fear that I have boxed myself with my early pick of Pliskova. Thankfully, I am not red yet, but I might be a medium shade of pink.

Same here. She looks good vs Samsonova, although if she loses it will not be a surprise.
The picks for tomorrow, as far I can tell, are limited to: Keys/Volubic, Badosa/Muchova and NO PICK, which makes you go to sleep in peace, knowing there will be no drama tomorrow (and the rest of the week).

You would probably have to be the professional sports gambler who dominated jeopardy for months to pick between Badosa and Muchova with any confidence. Yikes.

I should have said, the picks that will not lock you in (I believe). Pick Barty and it is too early; she should make the semis.
Pick Iga and the same. I am picking Muchova, but this is the pick I know can be suicidal. 50% I will make it.

I think Iga goes down to Jabeur.

My pick is base on my assumption that Iga goes down to Sabalenka. We will find out.

I am thinking she is the one that makes it out of the bottom half, although in the Wimby topic I am saying Jabeur or Keys, I know. But those two have a little bit of wishful thinking from my side.

I think you are safe.. Pliskova is not going to win..she will stand there and watch the ball go by, mostly - though she looks good doing that, I grant

Thing is, with this easier schedule of all round 4 and QF matches on 1 day instead of split over 2, you can select a semi finalist today without it being a sure-fire suicide later on. (Assuming she loses in the SF and not one of your previous picks makes it as well.)

That said, given the draw, picking Barty tomorrow instead of today (if she wins) looks more enticing.

But given the way it played out at RG, any pick could be too early.

Indeed. I pity the fools that picked Jabeur on day one...

I had 95% confidence in my Rublev pick today. And 1% confidence in my Muchova pick.
And I am alive here, dead in the other. This game is insane.

Same thing for me, I had 100 % confidence in my Rublev pick and 10% on my Muchova pick

And slowly, today is being another small decimation. Iga is out, Keys is out, and Coco is in unsafe waters.
