by dave g Day 4 Pick Summary
ashkor87: Samsonova
ptmcmahon: Navarro
tenedab: fernandez
by
ptmcmahon Got a little worried not seeing my match on my scoreboard... until I realized match starts midnight my time
by ptmcmahon If Navarro doesn't win we will have a winner!
by ashkor87 Well done...Navarro wriggled out! Game
Continues
by ptmcmahon I went to bed with her struggling to hold server in 2nd set. Glad she pulled it out.
by dave g Day 5 Pick Summary
ashkor87 Muchova
ptmcmahon Rybakina
by ptmcmahon Both of us through at about the same time.
by dave g Day 6 Pick summary:
ashkor87 Keys
ptmcmahon Paolini
by ashkor87 Both our picks won day 6 as well...the game goes on till one of us makes a mistake! Nice fun
by ptmcmahon "Yesterday" (although it was actual today for me) I once again picked the last match of the day... and look like I've done it today (well "tomorrow" ) again! It always catches me off guard because I will see all matches except the one I picked when I scoreboard watch.

That last match happens at 830 am for me!
by ptmcmahon My favorite slams always used to be FO and Wimbledon because they'd start matches at 7/8 AM my time and we could spend all day watching while working!
by dave g Day 7 Pick Summary
ashkor87 Pegula
ptmcmahon Zheng
by ashkor87 Play is suspended...rain?! In the desert? Was Alexander there?

For me, USO is the worst..have to be up at 2 am to watch the finals..AO is best by far...i guess that is why it is the 'major of Asia Pacific'
by ashkor87 I am out now .
by ashkor87 My least favorite player Pegula caused this
by ashkor87 Congratulations to @ptmcmahon
by ponchi101 Indeed. Good job, Pt. And you too, Ashkor. These practice pool was a total mess for so many.
by ptmcmahon If it's any consolation I have Pegula to win in predictions this week! And I was only one to do so.
I will keep trying to beat the draw, but choosing in this Gauff-Bencic match feels like a toss up.
by ashkor87 I would think Bencic will win...
by ptmcmahon I think so too, but it's the closest to a 50/50 match I feel like I've picked. For once I picked the early match so we'll know soon!
by ptmcmahon Glad I was too busy to watch, that would have made for nervous times.
by
ptmcmahon Out in the semis. Disappointing as I would have had a guaranteed finalist too
As the week went on this looked more and more like Andreeva would have been the better pick here.
