Answered prayers for the Dimitrov pickers. He saved two match points in the fifth set tiebreaker- playing bolder tennis the last few points to (barely) win.

This is taking me by surprise. I have no clue as to why we have so many "No Pick"s. I half expected to have my Player Mail inbox loaded with "Where is my pick" messages. But, I have found nothing.

The Day 5 pick was pretty tough. There are quite a few close matches, and a lot of the results can lead to people running out of picks. For me, it was a decision between taking an easy winner but possibly running out of picks, or taking a closer match but keeping enough options to not run out of picks. Only time will tell which of us made the right picks.

22:00 pm of the night. And I am still debating that one.
Indeed, I believe I will rather lock myself than dying tomorrow.

We will lose at least 6. Vesely/Gojo has pickers on both sides, Stricker/Bonzi too, as do Zhang/Hijikata

Yesterday, we had 10 of 16 players picked. Today, we only have 6 of 16 players picked. For the size of the remaining contestant pool, Norrie has a really large bandwagon.
