Re: UPDATED 2024 WSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
Is someone going to wake me up? Donna Vekic for the win??????? How many times has she left courts sobbing in the third set why I wonder what on Earth I picked her for..... funny truth is I wrote Raducanu and then my spouse (blomgren on here) lost to Lulu when she beat Zhu so once I thought there would not be a two timer slayer in this household I switched it immediately.

I think there has been at least one first Friday finish...
Re: UPDATED 2024 WSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
I should have picked Paolini. I had it in my head to take her but then looked at the odds and saw Keys was a moderate favorite and decided to switch to Badosa who was a slight favorite. Should have gone with my gut although in truth either match was a toss-up.

The huge problem is- sometimes your gut saves you, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you shouldn't stick with your first choice, sometimes you should. I have had picks that saved match points, and picks that had match points and lost.mu_royals wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 8:42 pm I should have picked Paolini.

Re: UPDATED 2024 WSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
Both matches were crapshoots. The women's game in unpredictable, especially on grass and with Sabalenka out. Fun to watch, murder to SP.mu_royals wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 8:42 pm I should have picked Paolini.

Congrats tennisbrp and thanks JTContinental for managing!
These SPs are a highlight for me even though I have a pretty scratchy track record so appreciate all the volunteer effort that goes into making them fun.

Re: UPDATED 2024 WSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
I waffled between Raducanu and Vekic, but ultimately went with Raducanu with very little confidence. Always fun to play and haven't made it to day 7 in a long time. Thanks to the mods!

Re: UPDATED 2024 WSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
Look at the bottom draw: Qualifier, unseeded, #7, #19. Those are the QF's.
Picking matches to reach that line up is simply impossible. This SP was/is insane.
Let's see what the top side produces.

Yeah Vekic has burned me multiple times and is pretty much someone I could never make myself pick again.

Re: UPDATED 2024 WSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
this was my position exactly! Wanted to pick Vekic but just couldn't make myself do it, but thought Raducanu had a lot of risk also. Oh well, it's been fun, and agree, thanks much to the moderators!
