Talk About Tennis 2.0

Federex's lead over deelighted2 is now down to 2 and they're probably not the favorite to win the medal at this point. Let's drill down into the scenarios:

If Daniil Medvedev loses in the men's final, deelighted2 will be our champion. Barring that...

If Leylah Fernandez loses in the women's final, Ribbons will earn the medal.

If Maria Sakkari loses in the women's final, ktothem1 takes the contest.

Fernandez defeating Emma Raducanu in the women's final and Medvedev winning the trophy will result in a tie between Federex and deelighted2.

Felix Auger-Aliassime defeating Medvedev and Raducanu or Aryna Sabalenka losing in the women's final will mean Federex is the only champion.

Medvedev winning the men's final and Raducanu or Sabalenka losing in the women's final will also give it to deelighted2.

I think that covers everything. It's the most complicated situation at this point in the contest in a while, so let's see who can come out of the jumble victorious.

Going into the finals, deelighted2 is in a prime position. Only one combination of outcomes will not result in a medal for them. Let me reiterate the scenarios still in play, substituting in the information we now have:

If Novak Djokovic wins the men's final, deelighted2 will be our champion. Barring that...

If Emma Raducanu wins the women's final, Ribbons will earn the medal.

If Leylah Fernandez defeats Raducanu in the women's final and Daniil Medvedev wins the men's final, Federex will tie with deelighted2.

Now let's look at the possible wooden spoon winners. In addition to deelighted2, patrick also picked Norbert Gombos, who will be the men's wooden spoon winner if Djokovic wins. If Medvedev wins, that dishonor will go to Pablo Carreno Busta (his second in a row!), whom no one had the nerve to pick.

For the women, Federex, IronMike, and Ribbons all took Yaroslava Shvedova, who will be the last place finisher if Raducanu wins. If instead Fernandez is the champion, it will be Alison van Uytvanck.
