Cuevas has burned me at crucial junctures before, but this is such a tough line-up to pick from I don't think I have much choice.

QF: Cuevas
BU: Schwartzman

 

[boredone3456]

QF: Fognini
BU: Cuevas

Heaven help me

 

[RS92]

Nope, he lost badly 1R AO to Leo Mayer, 2 6 & 3.

Then I don't know what other matches he won this year.

He lost badly against a one-handed backhand player? That has to be a good sign surely!

You might not, but I will.
QF: Bedene
BU: Schwartzman

You are the only one, good for you. Bedene should win though.

 

[underground]

Screw it.

Changing my main to Jarry

Beat Andujar 1R Pune, beat Moutet Noumea Challenger and won 2 DC matches vs Ecuador (best of 3 in straight sets). You mentioned the Quito QF result, where he extended the eventual champion RCB to a 3rd set TB. That is all.

And in Quito he won in 3 sets against Bagnis and Travaglia, so nothing special so far.

If you are right again like in Rotterdam, you should be awarded with the Year End #1

All aboard.

 

[Pagoo]

All aboard.

I looked at the draw and Cuevas seemed like the best pick. Hope we are right.

Dubai next week is going to be dire.

Dubai top 8 seedings right now: Dimitrov, Pouille, RBA, Dzumhur, Gasquet, Kohlschreiber, Krajinovic, Sugita! Man oh man

Acapulco getting weak too, Cilic out.

The inverse proportionality in "tour strength" between the actual tour and the SDL is fascinating. Next week should be very interesting now.

is there an Acapulco thread yet? sorry if off topic but i don't know where else to ask this

Just creating Acapulco/Dubai threads now, they'll appear in 2-3 minutes

 

[RS92]

Acapulco getting weak too, Cilic out.

Also Kyrgios

 

[RS92]

Well, Cuevas deserved to lose against the n° 103 of the world on Tuesday, so no surprise that he choked the first set against Jarry after having like 4/5 break point opportunities.

 

[Pagoo]

At least it was quick. Thanks Cuevas.

 

[RS92]

Cuevas' return of serve was like Isner's today. A complete disaster.

Congrats to underground, the future year end #1 (?)

 

[Krish872007]

Yeah, Cuevas killed me last year at IW when I was literally 1 win away from the #1 ranking - and he held Match Point in that match IIRC. Unreliable as usual, but not a big loss as I had nothing to defend here and my ranking isn't in jeopardy.

I am tired. Just took a look at the Dubai entry list and got even more tired.

At least it's on hard courts - my clay court record is distinctly average

 

[PDJ]

You have to laugh! The WTA is a sham, but guess what the ATP want in!

What's a ranking? It's been so long....

 

[stringertom]

It seems as though quite a few don't know how or when to handle their Pablo Cuevas!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Dang it I thought Cuevas has gotten his stuff together!

 

[RS92]

You have a shot tomorrow with Jarry.

 

[underground]

Wow holy **** feeling invincible right now.

It’s the fact that I’ve been switching my picks last minute that makes it crazier

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

You have a shot tomorrow with Jarry.

Yes. Diego can be up and down on the late stage, or I might as well pick Jarry as the winner lol.
Verdasco (Most likely win it seems) vs Bedene/Fognini also a toss up.

Without Thiem, it's a difficult choice for you right now. It's impossible to know who will win the tournament.

At least in terms of ranking and experience, Jarry should be the guy with less chances to win the tournament, so because of that you should take another risk and pick him tomorrow and then hope for him to win and in the final hope that Verdasco/Bedene wins.

This could be your first title so good luck

 

[Krish872007]

If Bedene wins we'd only have 3 people left in the tournament.

 

[boredone3456]

So if Fog wins i need to really on Jarry???? Ugh not loving that.....

 

[underground]

SF Verdasco

 

[bezs]

Missed out on my pick, but probably would have joined the bloodbath as well.

 

[TripleATeam]

Dang it, Bedene. Oh well. Congrats to @underground on an amazing pick!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

SF: Jarry
BU: Verdasco

 

[stringertom]

Decisions, decisions: trust that Fernando looks mahvelous and Fabio turns into margarine or go with Itty Bitty Dark Helmet sure(shs) points and hope Hot Sauce stays hot twice more???

SF: I can't handle HOT SAUCE two days in a row! You look mahvelous, FERNANDO!

B/u: Itty Bitty Diego Dark Helmet

 

[JadeC]

SF: Scwartzman
Backup: Verdasco

 

[boredone3456]

Well....

SF: Jarry
BU: Verdasco

If I somehow repeat with these 2 it'll be a small miracle

 

[Deleted member 293577]

SF: Jarry

 

[RS92]

If Verdasco wins, we'll have at least one champion tomorrow. If he loses, then not even one champion.

 

[underground]

Surviving through Fognini and Verdasco in one single SDL!

Final Schwartzman to extend my unbeaten 2018 run.

It's actually kind of scary that you're going all Djok2011 on us right now Great return to the game

 

[RS92]

If Verdasco wins, JadeC will win the title

If Schwartzman wins, stringertom and underground will win the title.
