Comments:
I hope we aren't using Mensik too early.
Draper and Thompson should do just fine.
A. Murray vs D. Goffin I happen to like Goffin, so I hope Murray loses. But Murray will probably prevail.
D. Lajovic vs E. Ruusuvuori I will probably be a tough match, but Ruusuvuori should have the edge.
T. Seyboth Wild vs J. Wolf Like with Ruusuvuori, I think this will be a tough match, but Seyboth Wild should have the edge.
L. Van Assche vs M. Arnaldi I don't know enough about either of these players to make any useful comments.

The next time we use someone too early at IW or Miami will probably be the first.

Yeah, right.
One half of that prediction is already wrong
These practices are like practicing a little martial arts against Bruce Lee.

Some late comments:
Michelsen is probably OK.
I don't know who Cobolli is, so no clues.
As of now, Monfils is about to win. So, good pick.
Fils: Not sure about this pick.
Fognini's pickers first round pick lost. Fognini has been "unpicked".
Shapovalov: He has been begun to play better, but I almost picked his opponent.
Tabilo: I don't know him well enough to comment.
Wawrinka has already lost. I have seen people write that his opponent, Machac, is a rising star.
Zhang should be OK.

And the almost "Patent Pending" TAT2 double whammy went like clockwork.
Sometimes, this is cruel.

I hope we catch up with the planned schedule sometime soon.
At least we are not falling further behind, which frequently happens at Wimbledon.

I can't keep track any more ..especially since I am on the other side of the globe . Days and nights are anyway running into each other. These rain delays have sent me into a spin

Day 4 Pick Summary
Start: 7
The only No Picks so far: 1
Left: 6
Humbert: 3
Baez: 1
Fritz: 1
Machac: 1
Start: 6
Survivors: 4
Dead: 1
Unkown: 1
Comments:
Humbert: I don't know enough about Kypson, to know how nervous I should be about this pick.
Baez: Probably a good pick, unless he beats Fritz next round.
Machac: You are picking an unseeded player versus a seeded player. You are either brave, or you know more about Machac that I do, or both.
Fritz: I am assuming that we will need to reserve Djokovic and Medvedev for the semifinals and beyond. If the tournament results follow the seedings, we will have to choose someone from Ruud [9] vs Hurkacz [8] or Fritz [12] vs Rune [7]. Personally, I try to keep all of my options available, so that I can make my pick on the players form from the last couple of rounds; for example, I would have the option of picking Fritz if Musetti manages to beat Rune. However, if Baez managed to beat Fritz next round, you will look like a genius. Good Luck. We are getting to the point of the tournament where a lot of things might happen.

If Shelton loses, the winner will be decided today. He should win.
Ashkor, you said that picking Rublev this early might come back to haunt you. I suspect that you are right. Only time will tell for sure. Rublev should win.
