Think it's easier to pick losers than winners? We'll see about that.

Ptmcmahon has won the 2026 Australian Open edition of You Can't Win Jack, finishing with 52 points. His victory was largely due to correctly pegging the men's wooden spoon winner, Yunchaokete Bu. Bu lost to Denis Shapovalov, who lost to Marin Cilic, who lost to Casper Ruud, who lost to Ben Shelton, who lost to Jannik Sinner, who lost to Novak Djokovic, who lost to Carlos Alcaraz.

Of note is that Ponchi101 had a pretty high score for not picking a wooden spoon winner, 45. He would have won the contest had Djokovic not defied the odds and father time and upset Sinner. Hopefully for him, that's a sign of things to come in this contest.

Camila Osorio was the women's wooden spoon winner, correctly picked by jazzyg. She lost to Ann Li, who lost to Magda Linette, who lost to Karolina Muchova, who lost to Coco Gauff, who lost to Elina Svitolina, who lost to Aryna Sabalenka, who lost to Elena Rybakina.

Thank you all for playing and see you in May for the French Open edition of this contest!

Well done, PT. I have updated your YCWJ spoon count. You are not the proud owner of 2 spoons. Eat well!
