SIMPLE OUTPUT (Author and post)

by dave g This is where you come and commiserate over your picks that lost. Warning: our bar-tender is off-site and has to phone his work in, which will cause some delays unless we can coax someone else to take over bar-tending duties for the tournament.
by jazzyg I beat the women's draw last year. Could not make it past the first day this year.

I'll take something strong.

Who knocked you out? I was out before the bar opened... V. Kudermetova.
by jazzyg Yep. Kudermetova.
by Irena2 How about several bottles of vodka? Another Kudermetova casualty here!
by ponchi101 Kudermetova really did this?
Not that I have ever liked her that much but, man, that was shameful...
I am in the middle east. Can't drink, so this is not even fun.
by paulfmcintyre Crashed out of BOTH draws on Day 1... I'll have a double, please! 💀💀
by mmmm8 I almost forgot to put the first name for Kudermetova. Wish I had put in the other sister.

Anyway, here's an herbal liquor from her home city of Kazan. May she be made to down that bottle in one sitting

by Irena2 Double-cheeked on Monday by Humbert. Sheesh!

I have never tried this, but if anyone else has, be interested to know. Cheers!
by ponchi101 Just another pastis.
But, in enough quantities, and you have every reason now to simply gulp down gallons of the stuff, borderline hallucinogenic.
by naughtyT I stayed away from the ATP bandwagons.. but maybe overcompensated with Kovacevic.
Oh well
Double single malt please.
by New England Nitemare The bandwagon got me on the ATP side yesterday w/Michelsen.....Tequila for me please!!!

Drink them simultaneously. -->
by ponchi101 She won two games? You get two cocktails:

by ponchi101 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:
by ashkor87 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..
by mmmm8 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.
by atlpam Half-cheeked by Diallo - guess I should have gone with Bublik.
by ashkor87 Machac and Mertens took me out today... never heard of Blanchet and never thought Mertens could be beaten at this stage of a major!
Bartender, something Belgian please (i hear they brew good beer..) and the check..

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

maybe some AI was hallucinating.. it is AI who needs a drink, maybe?
by ponchi101 Ok, but glad that you don't ;)
Or at least, only one.
by texasniteowl 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!
by atlpam I made it through with Osaka, but I am all out of picks, so congrats to the Anisimova pickers who still have choices remaining.
