UPDATED 2024 FOSP Men's Picks and Results Thread

[NatLee]

Looks like I still have Zverev for tomorrow. Never got this far!

[pudding]

Is the Day 11 men’s picks up? Can’t find it.

[ktothem1]

I can't find day 11 picks either, so please let this be my official decree. I take

Zverev

for day 11.

[ptmcmahon]

I see Ruud- Djokovic in the list of matches for tomorrow, but hasn't historically that not been allowed if the withdraw is known before OOP is released? Maybe I am just imagining that though If so that means we have two who can still beat draw (although it will be down to at most one after tomorrow.)

My fault the Day 11 pick thread didn't go up earlier. If you made a pick here before 5 am ET/11 am Paris time, it will count. Sorry!

[ponchi101]

Must be first time in SP history that there is a walkover in quarters or later? Seems those who choosing their picks based on. Zverev winning FO is hard done by! But rules are rules....

Yes. I can't recall a W/O this late in any SP. Historically we have not allowed it, but this time, because the options are so few, we have decided to let it be. So the two people that perhaps were really saving him for the QF's can follow their strategy.
It is odd, but we hope people will be understanding of this special situation.

We thought it was wrong to make people choose from only one match. We'll discuss the new policy after this SP.

So what happens if we all get through to semis and then Alcaraz beats Sinner? Do all 12 or 13 of us who pick CA in the semis and HD for no pick left just tie?

Yeah there can be that many winners. We'll have a playoff to figure out the prize winner. TBD.

Wound up a moot point anyway as Alvin picked Zverev and Cyborgshoes lost yesterday!

Congrats to all the SFists. I got bored and went for the kamikaze pick. Now I can enjoy the semis lol. Good Luck to Alvin - hope you beat the draw.

[ptmcmahon]

So it looks like we lost two due to no picks last round actually. Plus we lost two de Minaur pickers. So down to ten.

Eight of us have just Alcaraz, natlee has just Sinner, and Alvin has Ruud & Sinner. So assuming everyone picks:

- If Alcaraz & Ruud win and Alvin picks Ruud for tomorrow we have 9 winners
- If Alcaraz & Ruud win and Alvin picks Sinner for tomorrow we have 8 winners
- If Alcaraz & Zverev win we have 8 winners

- If Sinner & Ruud win Alvin will be sole winner as Alvin will have a pick for finals and no one else will
- If Sinner & Zverev win and Alvin picks Sinner for tomorrow we have 2 winners
- If Sinner & Zverev win and Alvin picks Ruud for tomorrow then Natlee is sole winner

Alvin currently has picked Sinner but still lots of time to change!

And Alvin can beat the draw if Sinner wins the SF and Ruud wins the title, right?

[ptmcmahon]

Yup.

(Or if Alvin switches and Sinner beats Ruud for the title!)

[ptmcmahon]

Looks like we have 8 winners with us all out of picks.

Congrats, all fellow winners! My very first win. It seems like a small thing but I am stoked LOL!
