Talk About Tennis 2.0

The quarterfinals eliminated most of our contestants' remaining picks, and now only five have a pick remaining. Of those five, most are irrelevant to the eventual victor of the contest. So while current leader Federex has run out of picks, he's still the clear favorite to win the medal. There is only one scenario in which he doesn't: if Hubert Hurkacz loses in the men's final. That will give the win to Togtdyalttai.

With Berrettini's victory over Hurkacz, Federex is the champion of the 2021 Wimbledon YCWJ contest!

Only one contestant, Tolulops, has a pick left going into the finals. That pick is Gilles Simon, who will be the ultimate loser if Berrettini defeats Djokovic in the men's final. If Djokovic instead wins, Pablo Carreno Busta will take home the spoon.

For the women, the last place finisher will be either Varvara Gracheva (if Barty wins) or Alison van Uytvanck (if Pliskova wins).

Federex, your medal has been awarded. Congratulations!

Was Simon wooden spoon at French?

Well done, Federex!

Yep. He's going for the Channel double along with Djokovic.

Congratulations to Federex.

Well done, Federex. From the wooden spoon of THIS context, it is always impressive when somebody wins this one.

Thanks..my first YCWJ in the new site..
It seem it is getting more difficult to find the wooden spoon even more men now. (Women is always a random lottery anyway.)

Good job, Federex. Your picks were a little good for me as I tried to win two in a row.

On another note, if Djokovic loses this match, Simon will be the biggest loser of two consecutive slams. That can't possibly have ever happened before.

Though there's very little change from the previous round, here's a final scoreboard and pick tracker. A recap will follow in a separate thread.
