2022 Miami Open Suicide Draw Pool Loser's Lounge
"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.

Yup, winning the practice pool is really just wasting luck

If you pick an ATP match before it starts, I'll allow the pick. This is a practice pool after all.New England Nitemare wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 3:17 pm Ugh....I got busy at work, and forgot to pick. Oh, well. Next Stop, French Open!!

Re: 2022 Miami Open Suicide Draw Pool Loser's Lounge
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.ptmcmahon wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 6:54 pm If I lose today, I'm blaming Dave...

Since we're in Florida, I guess we throw you into the Everglades?

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
