ponchi101 Or, most likely, cry about it.
by ponchi101 Wonder how many will trade out Shelton for... who?
by patrick In this case, not I
by ponchi101 Spoke too soon. Maybe trade Fritz?
by patrick More likely if I had a choice between Fritz and Shelton to trade out
by ashkor87 I still have 6 people alive as we go into Sunday, in Toronto, but now they are all playing each other! Circular firing squad!
by ponchi101 That's a pretty good position. I have three left after missing the trade deadline.
My team sucks.
by texasniteowl lol. I'm just now looking for the first time...but I was on a road trip and got home the other night at 2 in the morning. (At a certain point, you just keep driving instead of stopping and schlepping into a hotel for the night.)
Anyway...looks like I have 5 alive and playing today...and yeah, 4 of them playing each other.

good news is at least 2 will survive!

Not so sure about that...
by ashkor87 I must say, again, this is a nice game..very little stress, no need to check the draw every day...only thing I don't like is it is all men, I don't follow them that much...after all, every tournament is going to be won by one of 3-4 players...
by ashkor87 Bravely opted not to put Alcaraz on my team..not convinced he takes this swing seriously...we shall see.
by ponchi101 After the Wimby loss to Sinner, I say he wants another crack at him ASAP. Before the USO. See how he can handle Sinner's baseline strokes on this kind of court.
I say they meet in the final.
by texasniteowl this schedule is whack.
Winston Salem already started? Cinci final is monday? wut?
at least I'll have several trades left for USO since I missed doing any for WS!

Oploskoffie So, the USO draw was always one of holding one's breath to see how many (un)fortunate match-ups would hit your team. All things considered, I kinda lucked out, apart from Opelka vs. Alcaraz. Being just a single point behind 3rd I had to do... Something. I found picking anyone that made sense and wasn't already on my team a challenge, really, with most other cat. C players either having a so/so or worse first round draw of a mostly poor hardcourt summer thus far. So, in the end... Allez La Monf
which in part feels like a "for old time's sake" kind of pick.
by texasniteowl bad day for Ben Shelton = not good for my team either. I kept Ben instead of trading for Alcaraz, mostly because of points and I would have had to do multiple trades to do it. well...oops. bad luck. but worse for Ben.
by ponchi101 I traded him in.
His kiss of death.
Sorry, Ben. My bad.
