A lot of picks for Makarova! ... Let's hope Melanie doesn't pull another Oudin and troll you all US-Open-2009-style :lol:

wow makarova was the troll, retiring but why I dont know, so Melanie wins!

Stosur wins.
and
Robson wins.

Other winners so far:

Jeez! Cirstea out! i knew i shouldnt trust her. 2 of my other 3 picks made it .... Muguruza and Lisicki. Oh we'll it's not like they're so reliable either. I almost switched to Mak last night, but I just knew the trollage was coming. Oh well. Such is the fun of sudden death. Good luck to the survivors.

It's not even worth doing any research on these matches because rankings and prior meetings mean nothing. Total roll of the dice unless it is Serena or Sharapova.

Kuznetsova about to get bageled in set 2 after a set 1 breadstick....what on earth is that all about. I almost changed my pick to her...so glad I didn't!

Svettie wasn't quite hungry enough for the bagel, settling on a second breadstick but she did manage to take all of the suspense of Rome WTA SDL for me. Twice in a row now a Slam winner has been my ticket out (Kvitova in Madrid).

She seemed a smart pick. When was the last time Oudin won a main draw match anyway LOL. I would picked Kuzzie if not Maka soooooo lol good luck all

Oudin was 2-10 on the year before the Makarova match. She had won a match last week in Madrid, before that her last win was in January.

Up 4-0 in the third set, then 5-2 in the tiebreaker, and she still loses to an injured Serbian journeywoman.

WTA SDL is like playing your favorite videogame on Hell mode.

A 21 year old journywoman wow you're harsh. The world number one is a decade older and this player is already on the scrap heap.

purespin, please specify which Radwanska sister you're choosing. A Radwanska or U Radwanska?

Sorry I have no idea there is another Radwanska. I picked 13. [4] A Radwanska (POL) in my original post.

If that's too late, I can pick the other one as well, given the unpredictable WTA :)

It looks like I'm late for both matches. A Radwanska lost anyway. So I'm out, right?

Good luck, guys!
