With Picks 2

by dave g We have two people left with picks for the final match. New England Nitemare has Medvedev left, and ndblaquiere has Nadal left. So, someone will beat the draw. This will be the first time on TalkAboutTennis2 that we will have someone actually beat the draw! Congratulations to both contestants that have made it to the final with a pick left!!!

To New England Nitemare and ndblaquiere:
Even though you have only one pick left, you will still need to enter your pick in the "2022 AO Suicide Draw Pool: ATP Final Pick" thread.

by ponchi101 It will be a pleasure to award that trophy. First time here indeed :clap:

by ptmcmahon I wonder how many times we've had a one vs one final, even on TAT1.0

by ndblaquiere I’ve never made it this far! I’m excited. Best of luck to New England Nightmare as well🙌

by New England Nitemare I had to sweat out a few picks to get here!! It's gonna be a good final!! Nice going, ndblaquiere on getting here as well!

by Verbalvolleys Barty just won. It's down only to the little matter of deciding the Men's Singles Winner now.

Good Luck New England Nitemare & ndblaquiere.

Beating the draw to win the title is super awesome.

by ndblaquiere Great job Verbalvolleys! I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten past the 4th round on Women’s draw🤣

by dave g And ndblaquiere beats the draw.
Congratulations to both ndblaquiere and New England Nitemare for making it all of the way to the final.

by Verbalvolleys 21storic Victory to beat the draw and be crowned champion ndblaquiere !!!

The Trophy was changing hands each of the last few games and points. What a Finish !!!

Well played New England Nitemare. Congrats on being RUP .

Hats off to AOSP22 Men's moderator daveg.

A shout out to the contest staff as well.

Hip Hip Hooray ! Hip Hip Hooray !! Hip Hip Hooray !!!
