2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results

[PeterSkan]

Thanks, until Thursday I am fine for WiFi it appears. But if I’m still in this after that I don’t know. Right now I’m in eastern Quebec, but will be in western Labrador starting mid-day Thursday…likely nothing for several days. I’ll have one of those satellite phones they give out for free, for use only in emergency, but usually no cell phone, but I’ll see if the Labrador City signal is available at times….it could be. GH

Did you enter PQ via Noranda & Val d'Or and then up through Chibougamau?

We only lost 25 people, that is a pretty good showing. Congratulations, folks.

surprisingly peaceful day 1! hardly any red.. is the USO getting more civilized or are we getting better? or just playing safer? I know I am playing safe, very safe until the third or fourth day..

[ponchi101]

I will rather run out of picks that lose by picking some goofy player.
So yes, I am playing it safe.

I am going to be busy until about 6:00 p.m. US eastern time, so I don't have time for pick commentary today.

I am using losing_less_than_20_percent as being a good day. So, we just inside the good_day range.

I was a Fils picker today and guess whom I just saw getting out of a tournament car as I was leaving a restaurant. Thought about thanking him for letting me earn one more day in an imaginary survivor club, regrettably didn't.

You should have. In your name and 20 more grateful, temporary fans.

I can't really fathom why Saffuilin wasn't a 147 member bandwagon.

[meganfernandez]

So much for karma owing FAA a few match wins. I can't believe we can't get a single SP pick out of him.

Shapo was one of my backups! New SP rule: No Canadian men.

Five years ago, the Canadian invasion was all the rage. Now their three best players lost in the first round.

And now that you've said that, you've fated the Russian to win the entire tournament.

Stop yer Safiullin around now!

For years my round 1 SP rule was find a Canadian to pick against. May have to bring it back. Funny that combined Canadian men and women went 1-4, and the only one winning was ... Gabriel Diallo?

I didn't even know about Diallo. I thought Canadians were 0-4. Diallo played college tennis. That might be my new rule. College-player qualifiers only in R1.

So sad about Canada when you think where this group was 5, 6 years ago. Leylah is still only 21. She has time. Andreescu's level was there but her body wasn't.

We were all saving him for week 2.

[G2gaynor]

I agree! He was playing a kid that is going to a little brother college!!!!!!

Go Blue.
