Garcia - 7
FULL REACTIONS:
Remember. I was out on Day 1. I am in no position to judge. But I get to anyway.
Wozniacki - you'll sail through, but she is in a soft section where I'd take her over both BHM and Sakkari, I think. I'm betting on a 2017 Featherweight Flashback, Mertens vs Wozniakic, for a spot in the quarters.
Fernandez - You're golden if she wins because she will get Coco'd in the next round, but I predict a close match, like 60/40. (With no evidence, like a head-to-head or ever having seen Parks play a full match.) Parks is only ranked a couple spots behind Leylah. This isn't a gimme.
Garcia - You could have played her in the next round, but also, she could beat Gauff. Yes, I said it. Gauff is fantastic but she isn't unbeatable by any means. Garcia appears to be in great form again. If you're playing for the Updated thread, solid pick. If you're playing for glory, you have to hold on to these cards.

Congrats to those Day 2 Mertens pickers, if any of you are still alive. That worked out. Barely!

Re: 2024 AO Survivor Pool: WTA Picks and Results Summary
Fernandez took me out, but I was happy for Parks. It's been a good tourney for her.
It seems like time is going backwards towards 1984 . . .

Re: 2024 AO Survivor Pool: WTA Picks and Results Summary
Wow 13 players left and R2 is not complete. I was surprised when I submitted my pick to see only 10 postsNew England Nitemare wrote:WOW....13 lucky people live to see another day!!! Not out of round 2 yet....sheesh.
I've been playing these survivor pools for a minute, and I NEVER have seen this few still standing so early.
It goes to show you how tough it is to win one of these survivor pools!!
At this rate we could have a winner before the week is out!!!

And all the Noskova pickers breathe again. Thought we were doomed after that 2nd set.

Re: 2024 AO Survivor Pool: WTA Picks and Results Summary
Not coming down on you, but to explain.
Our parser picks your posts in two fashions:
1. Your LAST post of the topic as long as it is
2. Less than 100 characters long.
You posted a last comment that was complimentary of Megan's job, but it was less than 100 characters long. So, your Mertens post was lost in the parsing.
Why 100 characters? Because some of our members post via Tapatalk, and those posts come with a tag (posted from my phone via Tapatalk) that makes them about 80-90 characters long. So, we still need to pick those posts and THEN filter the gibberish that gets attached by Tapatalk.
Not picking on you, Naughty. But that is the reason we tell our members: post ONLY the last name. Our contest staff do their best, but they need to still do a lot of manual quality control.

Re: 2024 AO Survivor Pool: WTA Picks and Results Summary
We agree. No big deal, your pick has been recorded.
But
Your LAST post IN THAT TOPIC was your post complementing Megan. As it was less than 100 characters, that was what was recorded. The post with your pick was before that.
I wrote the code for the parser so that, if a player changed her mind, and posted a new pick, that post would be the one selected by the parser would be the last one. That makes it easier for the contest staff.
Anyway, rejoice! You are in the updated topic. Hell of a job
