There were quite a few choices, I was just surprised anyone, let alone 3 people, would go with the symptomatic covid positive player that hadn't played a match in a month and hit a ball for the first time less than a week ago. If she had won her match, I'd have been just as surprised to learn those picks were made.
I'm going with the amnesia defense. I'm sure I read about her testing positive for Covid, but it never entered my mind when I looked through the draw to make my first pick.

It truly is end times. I picked Errani to make it to the 4th round of the US Open this year.

The men's pool only has 31 players left. In møst of the recent suicide pools, the women have been much more unpredictable than the men and the suicide pool numbers have reflected that. In this event, there haven't been as many upsets so far in the women's draw, at least the kind that cause bandwagons to collapse. Looking at the matches for Day 6, I'm sure the numbers will stop to drop.

The ATP pool was decimated by the Scruff event. In the last pool at TAT1.0 we saw the same thing: the women's pool lasted longer. That was because, I think, the women's side is so even that there are no more bandwagons. We don't have 100 people picking Wozniacki in the first round of RG, or something like that.
Notice that all the picks are like 10 people here, 12 there. At that rate, there is no sudden event that cleans the pool of souls.
My idea.

The day 6 summary does not add up to 83 and the number that is listed as advancing is only 73 so something or multiple somethings is up. Either that or my math and reading skills are off.

Down 15 in a blink of an eye. Something tells me Rogers is gonna beat kontaveit tonight. We're due for an unexpected result..

You mean more unexpected results? Muchova over Pliskova was pretty weird, especially the way it played out.

The error is in the Day 5 summary. There were 36 Muguruza picks not 26.
