Talk About Tennis 2.0

It was me.

....Can I just go ahead and make my Day 8 pick now?

Still 6 first round matches to be played before I can post a Day 4 picks thread

Andreescu ensures that a bunch of you don't have to worry about your first round match anymore

From high to low. My 2nd day pick, Vekic, finally won in a 3rd set TB after it was suspended at 5-1 in the TB. Yay!

Then Andreescu does whatever.

It does look like all or most of the first round matches are at least on the court.

Two first round matches left to finish

So I lived and died on the same day..in fact, died first! Andreescu and Vondrousova
Can only happen here!!

Andreescu just earned herself a spot in the SP Hall of Shame.
Which it seems will be a bit more than what she will do with her career.
It was a "good pick". I was saving her, assuming she could fight with Iga. My ignorance saved me.

Like always, it's better to be way wrong than slightly wrong.

Also bitten by Andreescu with Shuai Zhang winning after I was knocked out.

OK, I AM putting this out there....

Today, tennis-fan-wise, I'd like us Alexandrova takers to lose. I'd love for Townsend to win this match.

Yup, Andreescu got me too....ugh. The same way, after Zhang won her match. Damn....

I'm am going to put this in a MACRO and next time you tell us NOT to dare put Petra's name in our mouth, it will spit this quote. Leave this man's body, you evil entity, leave!!!!!!

I've picked Alexandrova, but would be delighted to lose in this instance.
