OK, I thought I smelled blood, peril, and heartache, but maybe they just need to clean the bathrooms

We ultimately lost only 2 players today, and both of their picks were STANK:

Su-Wei Hsieh (1 victim) This because Wang just made a clay court final two weeks ago (and is probably the better player anyway)

Shuai Zhang (1 victim) An unnecessary risk when so many questionable picks all made it safely through

It gets easier after the 20th year of playing the game...

You lie ponchi! It never gets easier. If anything when I lose I just feel dumber like I lost because of some lesson I didn't learn.

I stand by my point. It takes 20 years, so the very original members will start winning consistently around 2024. Until then, we are all rookies ;)

Attention, losers! It's time to rank your pick as DANK or STANK

Veronika Kudermetova (5 victims) DANK TMQ did not see this match, but given Kudermetova's improvement this year, it should not have happened. I bet Siniakova's hair looked crazy, though.

Caroline Garcia (1 victim) DANK Hercog is a trap early round match at any Grand Slam. Garcia's level of play has improved since dropping her dad as coach, and this was a close match where she actually almost twice as many winners as Polona.

Belinda Bencic (1 victim) STANK TMQ was so sure Bencic was going to lose this that we almost picked Kasatkina in the Day 4 pool.
