Chose Darderi. Did not like my pick that much. Looked back. Decided to play it a bit safer. Switched to Mensik and his cannonball serve on a hard court.
Darderi won, Mensik choked in the fifth set.
When you do stupid things... :cry:

My strategy thus far has been to take no chances at all..boring but effective..still alive in both pools. I just want to live as long as I can...! I am sure I will get here sooner or later but later the better..

What a "pleasure" to witness your top 20 SP pick struggle the world No. 184. Glad I got out of there after the first set, so I didn't get to see his boring-ass game and then see him lose. Please send a bottle of Becherovka Ugo Blanchet's way.

Half-cheeked by Diallo - guess I should have gone with Bublik.

From what I can see, Machac and Blanchet are still in the first set.

Well...I'm out. I wanted to save Osaka and didn't quite believe Anisimova would bounce all the way back so I picked Swiatek. So I was wrong. But...honestly I'm not mad about it!

I made it through with Osaka, but I am all out of picks, so congrats to the Anisimova pickers who still have choices remaining.
