Maybe I am just imagining that though If so that means we have two who can still beat draw (although it will be down to at most one after tomorrow.)

We thought it was wrong to make people choose from only one match. We'll discuss the new policy after this SP.

Yeah there can be that many winners. We'll have a playoff to figure out the prize winner. TBD.

Eight of us have just Alcaraz, natlee has just Sinner, and Alvin has Ruud & Sinner. So assuming everyone picks:

- If Alcaraz & Ruud win and Alvin picks Ruud for tomorrow we have 9 winners
- If Alcaraz & Ruud win and Alvin picks Sinner for tomorrow we have 8 winners
- If Alcaraz & Zverev win we have 8 winners

- If Sinner & Ruud win Alvin will be sole winner as Alvin will have a pick for finals and no one else will
- If Sinner & Zverev win and Alvin picks Sinner for tomorrow we have 2 winners
- If Sinner & Zverev win and Alvin picks Ruud for tomorrow then Natlee is sole winner

Alvin currently has picked Sinner but still lots of time to change!
