2022 Miami Open Suicide Draw Pool Loser's Lounge

Post by dave g »

"Welcome to Day 1 of the WTA Practice Suicide Pool in Miami. According to the WTA site, it looks like these 12 main draw matches, from both the top & bottom halves of the draw, kickoff the WTA tournament."

FUBAR

The matches for Day 1 appear to be most, but not all, of the matches that don't include qualifiers. However, there are several matches without qualifiers that aren't listed. It is possible that those round 1 matches without qualifiers that are not listed include withdrawals and lucky losers, but we won't find out for a while. I suspect that same thing will happen with the ATP matches.

This will be made worse by the fact that my desktop is dying, and I have to use my laptop. The reason this is a problem is that with my desktop, I can see the draws and the previous days results on https://www.livescore.com/en/tennis/ , but I can't see them on my laptop. This means that I might not know who is playing until the "order of play" comes out. Thankfully, with Miami, the order will probably come out before I go to bed.

We will dutifully blow our brains up very shortly, and in packs, to make you job easy. I, personally, don't expect to be around by Friday in the WTA, and a prompt "stepped on a landmine" scenario on the first day of the ATP is expected.
Hope your desktop will recover.

If you pick an ATP match before it starts, I'll allow the pick. This is a practice pool after all.

If I lose today, I'm blaming Dave...

"Please remember that there are two Cerundolo's playing today. I realize that it is unlikely that either will be picked, but if you do pick one, please clearly indicate which one you are picking."

My pick - Lajovic - is down a set to one of them :) The other already won too... maybe we should have picked them!

Fine, go ahead and blame me. That would seem fair since I was one of the fellow Lajovic pickers. :roll:

Both Cerundolo's win, taking down... a few of us.
Ah, the sweet flavor of having lost in the practice pools ON THE FIRST DAY of both, in the men's side. That guarantees that I will lose, at worst, on the SECOND DAY of the real RG pool.
You are welcome, Dave. I told you I would step on a land mine on day one ;)
