by dave g This is where you come to complain about your pick losing, and to sooth your sorrow with alcohol.

by ponchi101 And we have our first bus rolling right in.
Or rather, Popping-In.
Popyrin, table of 41. Whatever you wish.
(And that was a good pick. What can the rest of us expect?).

by texasniteowl Well...I'm out on the ATP side. That's what I get for second guessing myself and changing my pick. (was Bellucci...changed to Berrettini. oops.)

by atlpam I’m with the Popyrin party - a round of beers on me. šŸ»

It was sure.

by naughtyT I actually feel spectacularly accomplished in an odd way. Jabeur and Popyrin. Champagne worthy floppage.

by FredX I was skeptical enough of Pegula to pick her for day 2, bracing myself for the jibe of picking her too early...that didn't go as expected!

One for each of your picks:

by ponchi101 And, it didn't take me long to get here. Michelsen let me down.
I still don't feel that was a bad pick. It will hit me later.

by ponchi101 2nd day in a row in which the largest bandwagon goes down in the ATP.
Shapo out, 17 souls are left wondering what happened.

by adicecream I have never been out of both pools this early. Time to stay off the bandwagons

by ashkor87 still alive on the men's side, Vika took me out on the women's. I thought that was a pretty good pick - a seasoned warrior, experienced grass court campaigner.. what could go wrong?! that is the earliest I have been out on the women's side for over a year now.. usually it is the men who knock me out..

by motobass I am out of YCWJ. After the first round, all my picks to lose went on to win... I have no idea - 8 shots of? gin with tonic chaser? Room-temp-a-cheer beers? A lot of something, please.

Congratulations, you are now the YCWJ low score record holder!!! I held that honor for a little while. It is really nice to have a record that no one else can beat, they can only tie it!!

by ptmcmahon And you'll always be the first! You can claim you really can't win jack better than anyone! :D

by atlpam First the Popyrin party and now double cheeked with the Boulter bash.

by New England Nitemare Boulter got me. After her win against Badosa. I thought for sure she would beat Solana Sierra. Boy was I wrong. After that 1st set Boulter won THREE games in the last two sets????? My goodness gracious!! Terrible!!! Sadly now I know who Solana Sierra is.

by ptmcmahon Ugh... just got Wang'd. I also am just noticing even in the loser's lounge we have a typo in the title :D How appropriate.

And on the men's side have to survive two matches this morning.

by ashkor87 Now FAA had knocked me out of the men's sp...this was the shortest SP ever for me ..now I can sit back and enjoy the tennis, i spoose!

I wrote about it somewhere. Sierra is only THE FOURTH LL to make it to 3R at WImbledon in the open era.
That's how much of a gift this was for Boulter.
Yes, I went down with her too. A disgrace.

by ashkor87 Now FAA had knocked me out of the men's sp...this was the shortest SP ever for me ..now I can sit back and enjoy the tennis, i suppose!

by ptmcmahon Yup, double cheeked in a couple of hours today... and my day 4 men's pick is down a set as well. I think at this point a true SP'er almost wants their next pick to lose too so they know they were screwed regardless :)

by ponchi101 Totally. With delayed picks, you want that. So you can say you lost three times in the SP.

by ptmcmahon Triple cheeked!

by New England Nitemare Machac got me today, after Boulter yesterday. After 4 days, I'm out. The survivor pools this go round was ROUGH. At the rate we are going, they could be over in a couple of days!! I don't think I've ever seen an UPDATED thread in Round 3......
