Congratulations, you are now the YCWJ low score record holder!!! I held that honor for a little while. It is really nice to have a record that no one else can beat, they can only tie it!!

Boulter got me. After her win against Badosa. I thought for sure she would beat Solana Sierra. Boy was I wrong. After that 1st set Boulter won THREE games in the last two sets????? My goodness gracious!! Terrible!!! Sadly now I know who Solana Sierra is.

Ugh... just got Wang'd. I also am just noticing even in the loser's lounge we have a typo in the title :D How appropriate.

And on the men's side have to survive two matches this morning.

I wrote about it somewhere. Sierra is only THE FOURTH LL to make it to 3R at WImbledon in the open era.
That's how much of a gift this was for Boulter.
Yes, I went down with her too. A disgrace.

Yup, double cheeked in a couple of hours today... and my day 4 men's pick is down a set as well. I think at this point a true SP'er almost wants their next pick to lose too so they know they were screwed regardless :)

Totally. With delayed picks, you want that. So you can say you lost three times in the SP.

Machac got me today, after Boulter yesterday. After 4 days, I'm out. The survivor pools this go round was ROUGH. At the rate we are going, they could be over in a couple of days!! I don't think I've ever seen an UPDATED thread in Round 3......
