[ptmcmahon]

And now Shelton is into a third set. We may be done shortly.

I don't get to watch much outside Slam tennis these days but saw my SP pick on before bed and decided to watch it... nothing like 3 AM finishes with your pick in a third set TB. Should know better than to do that to myself!

I have the advantage of not being able to watch tennis. So, even if it is late in the first set, I can just go to bed.

Day 6 Picks Summary

Start 4

Dimitrov 3
Fritz 1

Start 4
Survivors 4
Dead 0
Unknown 0

We are getting into a difficult section. 27 of the last 32 players are seeded. So we are having to pick from matches with two seeded players.
I (obviously) feel more confident about Dimitrov than I am about Frtiz, but only time will tell. I think that is because I think Baez is better than Mannarino. Good Luck, everyone.

[ptmcmahon]

I'm going with the "Baez is better on clay" angle.

Also, I picked him two days ago So apparently he was fine enough for me that day.

This far into either of these practice SPs no result will surprise me.

Well, that's over. Now to see if ptmcmahon survives to win, or if we end up only with corpses.

[ptmcmahon]

Not looking good!

I would have been picking Paul if I had to pick both quarterfinals … that was why I went with Ruud last round.

[dave g]

Well, that's over. All four of us who made it to the quarterfinals managed to lose.
