Just one 250 and then Queens and Halle?
Checked the race a minute ago. I'm in danger off being bumped to 3 or 4.

Yep, 4 grass events in total with Wimbledon
You're not in any trouble in the Race right now - can't say the same for me though

Thanks. Well, @winchestervatennis is still alive and I think @sosa09 and someone else have a chance if they win the tournament. I reached the final last year and I was hoping to at least defend my points. It's way harder with the daily picks. I wish we could pick by rounds. But this is more competitive. I don't think you're doing too bad, but of course you're gunning for the top spot.
I just made 5 correct picks for the first time in the WTA SDL. Now that is a nightmare.
Just a few of us bother to show up these days.

Yeah, I've been targeting the top spot ever since the AO. If not for one match result, I'd probably be there right now
WTA is an absolute nightmare to predict
It seems the key is to pick the lower-ranked player especially if the player has a three-digit ranking.
No consistency. Anyone can beat anyone else on a given day. I lost today. My pick ranked 17th was taken to the cleaners by a player ranked 290 who's just returning to the tour. Score was 6-1,6-1. It's okay to lose but that was a pathetic scoreline.O, and the match lasted 48 minutes.

Was that the PCB v Cuevas match at indian wells (i think)? No worries, you'd have dropped back to 2 in no time

Yes, the one where Cuevas had match points

I agree. If not for him, flip our IW results and who knows what would have happened then.

Hard to ignore that 1&0 beatdown in Rome. I agree its now or never to pick novak... or Thiem!

I recall a certain Swede receiving a similar 1 & 0 beatdown in Rome some years ago too. Some food for thought for @sosa09?

Not going to change my pick unless Anderson wins tomorrow. Then maybe I'll choose the winner of Wawrinka/Monfils

The winner has to come from the bottom right? With an outside chance to cilic or stan? So i guess that means i gotta pick the match in which i dont think either guy can win so...

I guess the smart play would be to pick nadal to try and rack up points with some of our top rankings folks biting the dust early, but trophies are what im gunning for.

We are thinking the same, except I already used Thiem. So here's to Nishikori not spoiling the party
QF: Murray
BU: Nadal

Honestly i was 50/50 between nadal and thiem as the bu since im sure nishikori will withdraw. But went with thiem to keep the ace in the hole

I dont know man. I like either cilic or wawrinka over murray. and stan seems like he could be having one of those stan like runs. As of now i have all picks available except PCB who is a dead man walking anyway.I have a feeling that you'll need Murray for later

You are definitely in the best position with all the players you have left. I can't win if I make a pick from the bottom half, so I'll wait to see what happens after tomorrow. I've gambled on Djokovic (or even Thiem) taking out Nadal. Djokovic is not playing as well as I thought he would, but in the last few weeks there seems to be signs he cares about winning again.

It doesnt matter who I or anyone else has left if we dont pick right in the quarters. It really is tough to win these things. We're only picking one winner now, but i guess we're implicitly picking who's going to win from here on out. C'est la vie

Yeah, it really feels like this and the Wawrinka x Murray match on my head is giving me nightmares.
Wawrinka's draw was tricky and he won each and every set he played, but something tells me he is not quite in Grand Slam champion mode yet, even though a 4 or 5 sets win in the semis might be exactly what he needs to get there.

Can't see Cilic winning a french open semifinal against Murray. If the SF is Murray-Wawrinka, that should be 50/50.
The only QF match that we all know how is going to end, is Nadal-Carreño Busta. But I'm going for the title, and I like my chances with Djokovic tomorrow.

I'm still glad that I didn't lose in the third round against Chung.
I had to defend 1200 points and I earned just the half of them. So I'm going down in the ranking (but in the race I'm going to be number 3?)

Now that im watching murray im somewhat remembering swearing off picking murray after he crapped the bed in some match earlier this clay court season. Maybe it was when he lost to LL Coric in madrid... but my memory could be wayyyyy off

Yo are you with Wawrinka or Nadal? @winchestervatennis
Let's assume Murray win this
Really tough choice!

Now I only have to defend 100 points in the entire grass court season. Surely I can't be that bad again
Djokovic also has like 90 points in Grass Season to defend. I'm not even sure he can't be that bad again
