by JTContinental Traditionally, the 1st day in the updated thread is a blood bath, so let's see what happens.
by JTContinental Day 8 numbers
H2H, karlovicfanclub's pick of Pavlyuchenkova will go up against TMQ and mcbride10s', who picked Mertens
Karolina Muchova 5
Daria Kasatkina 2
Elise Mertens 2
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 1
Elina Svitolina 1
by JTContinental And now for the Round 3 edition of the soon-to-be Pulitzer-nominated STANK or DANK, where TMQ will turn his very critical eye to your poor choice and determine the severity of your folly. Will it be as STANK as the hallway of your apartment building where your neighbor is currently boiling cabbage again, or as DANK as the curling tendrils of smoke that lingers in the air above the sleeping forms of rap groupies the morning after a party at Snoop Dogg's house? Find out now.
Clara Tauson (15 victims) STANK TMQ will readily admit that it was quite entertaining to watch the bandwagon careen and swerve until it deposited you into the afterworld like lemmings into a woodchipper. However, by Day 6 we should have weeded out the players that pick against a player just because you never heard of her, which I can definitely divine with my all-seeing inner eye. Zero DANK points awarded.
Bianca Andreescu (5 victims) STANK Yes, she should have won this match and choosing her was not in itself a terrible decision. However, TMQ cannot in good conscience award any DANK points to that scoreline.
Anastasia Potapova (2 victims) DANK Our only rap groupie of the day, Potapova came in hot after a good clay season, but ran into a former top 10 player returning to form. Perhaps the smoke made her a little dizzy.
by JTContinental It will be a busy Sunday at TMQ-HQ, so I've posted the Day 9 picks thread early

TMQ regrets your error
by JTContinental Day 9 is here! Someone is taking a shot at the crown today, which could happen with a Swiatek win (likely) and a Gauff loss (possible, but she won 0 & 2 in their only other meeting last year in Madrid)
The numbers
Coco Gauff 5
Iga Swiatek 1
by JTContinental Everyone survives to advance to Day 10
by JTContinental All 6 remaining players survived day 9, but that won't be the case on day 10 as dollymix and jason11e are going h2h against karlovicfanclub.
The numbers
Aryna Sabalenka 3
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 2
Karolina Muchova 1
by JTContinental 2 more players eliminated and for the second day in a row, we have a scenario where we can crown a champion tonight. If Sabalenka loses, karlovicfanclub will be our winner.

Sadly, that's not going to happen. I need Haddad Maia to upset Jabeur tomorrow to stay alive. This is where Rybakina's withdrawal may come back to bite me, since if I had known of that ahead of time, I would have saved Jabeur for this round. Then again, I might have a picked a different player that day who ending up losing.
by dollymix Good tournament y'all! I talked myself into thinking Pavs was the favorite against Muchova but I might not have made that pick if I still had Muchova available.
by catman Cap tip to Karlovicfanclub!!
by JTContinental Down to our final 4! Everyone who could picked Swiatek today--verbal volleys has used Gauff as their last available pick. If Coco wins (I don't think so), verbal volleys will be our sole champ. If Swiatek wins (yes), then we play on with 3 players left.
The numbers
Iga Swiatek 3
Coco Gauff 1
by Verbalvolleys Très Bien JT. Merci Beaucoup for a fun RGSP23.
Good Luck karlovicfanclub, Jazznu and catman.
by
ponchi101 Still, heck of a run, Verbalvolleys
Hope you do a little better at W.
by JTContinental We arrive at day 12 with 3 players remaining and several scenarios based on their picks
catman has chosen Haddad Maia as their only remaining pick, so they will be done after this round
JazzNU has also selected Haddad Maia, and still has Sabalenka as a viable pick for the final should BHM pull off the miracle
karlovicfanclub has selected Sabalenka, and will still have Haddad Maia as a viable pick for the final
If Haddad Maia and Sabalenka win her match, karlovicfanclub will be eliminated, catman will not have a viable pick for the final, and Jazz will be our winner with Sabalenka still left to pick for the final.
If Haddad Maia wins and Sabalenka loses, catman and Jazz will be co-champions with no viable finals picks
If Haddad Maia loses and Sabalenka wins, karlovicfanclub will be our winner
If Haddad Maia and Sabalenka lose, there will be a 3-way championship
Good luck to all!
by Verbalvolleys Correction :
catman and jazzNU both only have Haddad-Maia as their only remaining pick and are done after this round.
karlovicfanclub had both Sabalenka and Haddad-Maia as his remaining picks and has played Sabalenka today.
If Haddad Maia and Sabalenka win her match, karlovicfanclub will be our winner with one viable pick Haddad-Maia for the finals.
If Haddad Maia wins and Sabalenka loses, catman and Jazz will be co-champions with no viable finals picks.
If Haddad Maia loses and Sabalenka wins, karlovicfanclub will be our winner with no viable pick for the finals.
If Haddad Maia and Sabalenka lose, there will be a 3-way championship.
Good luck to all!
by JTContinental Thanks for the correction
by JTContinental Three winners it is!
by joanjettson Congratulations!!!
by karlovicfanclub Congratulations to Catman and Jazz. It was an exciting competition.
As much as I wanted to win outright, Sabalenka is one of my least favorite players, so at least the reason I lost today was due to her losing.
by
ponchi101 Excellent job, the three of you!
