UPDATED 2024 USOSP Women's Picks and Results Thread

[Suliso]

On paper I'm still alive, but in practice dead. Just not enough upsets for me to win now. Took Navarro too early and this time that's all it took...

I think there will be many winners.

[jazzyg]

Likely depends on whether Pegula beats Swiatek.

I think she will. Most do not.

[Suliso]

I doubt it very much. Maybe I still have a chance if Navarro beats Sabalenka, but that sounds even less likely.

[jazzyg]

My track record when going against the crowd in these contests with the women is abysmal, although it hasn't come into play for a long time because I haven't lasted long enough to try it.

Would have beaten the draw at Wimbledon several years ago (when it was easier to do so because all the fourth rounds and quarterfinals were played on one day) if I had simply picked Sharapova to beat Vandeweghe instead of the reverse.

[Suliso]

Sabalenka vs Swiatek is so likely... I bet whoever still can is goig for that outcome.

[ponchi101]

Sorry for the delay. Was training myself.
Today's picks:
Navarro 20
Sabalenka 6
Badosa 3

We have lost the Badosa pickers already, but at least 20 people will get a chance for one more round. Seeing as Sabalenka should be favored for today, as Suliso says: seems there will be many winners.

[ponchi101]

Sabalenka goes through.
26 people still alive.

[Wolfie0890]

I’m in uncharted territory, have accepted my path with light in the end, and am glad to share it with all the remaining pickers.

[joanjettson]

3 highly uncertain picks to go

[ponchi101]

The breakdown for day 10 is:
Muchova 19
Haddad Maia 4
Swiatek 3

A clear bandwagon, and at least 4 players will bid adieu.
Good luck to all.

EDIT:
7 are out.
I will look at how many can have options to beat the draw. I think just a few.

[ptmcmahon]

If I count correctly, only four people have two players left - Pegula and Sabalenka: Jazzyg, Keirules, Rktct2b, and Wolfie0890

The rest of us are all hoping Muchova beats Pegula tomorrow... and our other pick wins too of course!

[ponchi101]

You are correct.

[Suliso]

I need Pegula-Navarro final...

[joanjettson]

I need to send Muchova some Pepto and a pep talk

[ponchi101]

I need to send Muchova some Pepto and a pep talk

The pepto I agree. The pep talk you can spare her; she is playing confident tennis dialed to 11.
She should do fine in that aspect.
