Dellien 2

My comments:

Van de Zandschulp 45 He should win, and he is slated to play Rafa in Round 3, so there appears to be no reason to save him. However, if Rafa's foot give him enough problems that he loses are withdraws before Round 3, you may rue this pick.
Khachanov 17 He should win this round and has a good chance to lose in Round 3. Good pick.
Karatsev 14 He has not done well this year, and clay does not appear to be a good surface for him. You may be in trouble.
Schwartzman 10 He should win. I would hate to have to pick a Round 3 match between hi and Dimitrov. Good pick.
Davidvich Fokina 9 He should win. The question is whether or not he beats Zverev in Round 3. If he does, you might wish you had him later.
Isner 9 While Isner did well in Houston, I don't consider him to be a clay-courter. I don't know his opponent well enough to predict this match.
Brooksby 8 Cuevas, his opponent, is a pretty good player, but not near his peak. I really don't know enough to predict this match.
Fognini 8 Fognini has not been playing up to his past level, but still has a good chance to win. This might turn into a tougher match than you would normally expect.
Zapata Miralles 4 You're brave. You a picking a qualifier to beat a wildcard. I don't know either of these two players to be able to make a prediction.
Coric 3 He has been struggling this year. You might be in trouble.
Dimitrov 3 He should win. He is slated to play Schwartzman in Round 3, but I think he will win that match. But if he does, he will then have to play Djokovic. Good pick.
Kudla 3 He is playing a qualifier. I don't know him or his opponent enough to make a prediction.
Munar 2 I don't know Munar or Altmaier enough to predict who will win, but I think it will probably be a tough match.
Ramos 3 Kokkinakis has been playing better this year. You could be in trouble.
Thiem 3 Thiem has not won a match this year. I think you are in for more trouble than you are expecting.
Zverev 3 OUCH!! What a vote of no-confidence. He is slated to play Davidvich Fokina in Round 3. I am translating this as you are thinking that he will lose that match. I think you are right.
Auger Aliassime 2 He will win. But you might be using him too early.
Dellien 2 He is playing Thiem, who has not won a match this year. I have not been able to watch any tennis to be able to determine if Thiem has been improving enough to win this match. Tough call.

[ponchi101]

The Dellien pickers were brave, and were rewarded. An easy win, peace of mind early on Sunday morning, and Dellien will not go much farther. Excellent choice.

[PeterSkan]

I see Daniel didn't merit a comment, and it seems for good reason.

Dan(g)iel. I'm out.

That is due to a problem with the editor. If I take a little time, the cursor will move back to the beginning of the line and erase stuff that I have written, without me noticing it. I do remember typing something about picking a qualifier versus a wildcard being a dangerous idea.

PLEASE. You think those of us who picked Van de Zandschulp were concerning ourselves with Rafa and his foot? I mean, "Van de Zandschulp" is the sound we all make whenever we clear our throats.

We got through even with our picking someone named "Van de Zandschulp". We of the "Van de Zandschulp" Gang remain pleased. And we will not be rue'd.

[ponchi101]

BVDZ is simply the well established tradition of "I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY don't want to lose on the first day".
Not that he is fail safe and with a bandwagon to carry, certain dread is expected, but... as nelslus says, is to avoid choking...

[Invek]

Analysis about Davidovich Fokina and him beating Zverev in R3 was on point.

Thiem has only won one set of tennis since his return
