2022 RG YCWJ Results and Lounge.

No worries, Given there are so many mistakes, some mistakes will happen.
Doesn't affect too much on the scoreboard as my picks are likely to win on 3 rounds. ..

We have finished round three of YCWJ.
JeffFromTX remains in the lead, and not only that, he has 5 players still losing on his behalf. He is in an excellent position to get that wooden spoon.
Please, check your scores because, as Federex discovered, I am not able to assure you I don't make mistakes.

Wow1 I see that I managed to get out of the bottom half!

[ponchi101]

And you are in pretty good shape. You have 4 picks. You could be in contention if Jeff stumbles a bit.

The 4th round is over.
Most players now are out of picks, so thanks for joining. Hope you will join for the Wimby one.
Leaders: JeffFromTX still remains in the front, with a very good 50 points. But things have changed a bit. Tog is in second, with 46 points, but he has 3 picks left versus jeff's two. They both have Stephens in the women, with Jeff having her as #1, but Tog has her as #2. Where it gets interesting is that Jeff has Nadal as #4, but Tog has Cilic as #1 and Ruud as #2. This may be decided by a bonus point and somebody picking the actual wooden spoon.

That is a impressive performance by Tog. Getting 10 points in the fourth round is difficult.

[ponchi101]

Tog's great push came to an end today as both his "hope you die" picks refused to go down. Both him and JeffFromTx now have only one pick left, but it is the same, and Jeff has it as his #1 WTA pick, and Tog has it as his #2 (Gauff).
A third player, TexasNiteOwl, also has one pick left, but it is, once again, the same player, and TNO is 20 points behind Jeff, so even with a bonus he will not catch him up.
Sole players that can cash on a bonus are Cyborgshoes (riding Zverev to the semis), and Liamvalid (ditto), but they are too far behind to catch up Jeff.
So, although the contest is basically over, I will not declare a winner until final points are set.
Still, in the crazy world of tennis in which we live in, it is a superb accomplishment to have reached 20 points, so those that did it, I will not hand over a wooden spoon, but you should get a toothpick. It is tough to predict this contest.

With the semis over:
Only one person has one pick left, and that is Cyborgshoes. Alas, he has Nadal, so it seems the odds are stacked against him. Still, even if Rudd wins, he has him at his #2 spot, and he is too far back to catch JeffFromTX. Basically, the contest is over.
However, since we won't know the real Wooden Spoons until the weekend, we will wait for those before declaring our winner.

With the final over, this contest is over too.
The winner for our 2022 RG YCWJ is:
JEFFFROMTX Jeff started strong, and when he got the lead it was basically over.
Nobody was able to predict the wooden spoons in the tournament. For the women, the wooden spoon was Clara Burel, who followed this link of "losers":
Burel-Sakkari-Muchova-Anisimova-Fernandez-Trevisan-Gauff-Swiatek
For the men, it was Maxime Cressy:
Cressy-Bashilashvili-McDonald-Sinner-Rublev-Cilic-Rudd-Nadal

Jeff, your "spoon" will be awarded as soon as I press submit. CONGRATS!!!!

Congratulations to JeffFromTx on your win. You had to most points in almost every round, that is a diffucult thing to manage. Again, congratulations.
