Can you beat the draw? Just one measly pick a day...

A solid pick that blew up in your face. How many times we have gone through something like that? :cry:

Thanks to Ons Jabeur I am now out of both the men's and ladies polls and can get back to my life a little earlier than usual.

But I am learning more about how to read my gut instincts. Before I made the losing picks in both draws I was feeling I was making a mistake but then decided, nope, that is a trick, ignore it, as it is my confirmation that I am making the right pick. Nope, just go with the first instinct.

Of course, LOL, will I remember this insight?

That was another solid pick that simply did not work out. Nothing more. Good showing :clap:

Good move, but now it looks like Sabalenka might do you in, in not beating the draw. But by now, this is becoming a true game of chance. Good luck.

Ugh I hate that I chose a player I really dislike because it seemed the sensible choice. I hate myself....and (expletive).

me too.. chose Halep though I dont really like her, and Svitolina took her out.. grrr! trying to be strategic or tactical or something...still, lasted longer than I usually do, so am happy.. still alive in the Men's, which is a real surprise, I dont even follow them that much - I mean, Djokovic always wins, so what is the point, really?

If you are a Novak fan, a lot. If you are not, hoping he loses ;)
