Tsitsipas 16 :roll:

It's all for one and one for all.

Also, he is also the best pick available.
by ponchi101 Going against the Q, facing Carlitos in the next round.
Sure, no other choice today.
by naughtyT Kind of hoping he loses,not gonna lie.
by ponchi101 No, please. We don't have that many trophies ;)
by naughtyT Only one person has already used Etcheverry....shame. we could have gone for a tactical clean sweep again

Very well done, crew!! :clap:
by naughtyT I don't mean to be Ruud but a couple of people may have Runed their chances.
by dave g I haven't been able to watch any of the French Open, so I haven't had a chance to watch Etcheverry play. So, Etcheverry's results are a bit of a surprise to me. Congratulations to Etcheverry pickers on your pick.

Everybody who is playing today has been picked by somebody. So, we are going to lose at least five people. Also, there are several people being constrained by their picks from earlier rounds. Things are about to get really tight.

I said that two Sundays ago... ;)
by dave g Now that we have gotten to the second pair of quarter-finals, I thought I ought to explain how the semi-finals will work, before you get there. Up until now, a pick has been needed each day. With the semi-final, only one pick will be needed even if the semi-finals occur on different days. If you had all of the picks available to you, you would want to use the losing finalist as your semi-final pick. Which would leave you with the champion as your pick in the final match. However, many of you are going to be constrained by your previous picks.
by ponchi101 Remember that picks for the semis will be due before the start of the first semi.
by naughtyT Well it was fun while it lasted.
Thanks friends

Actually, no. All of the eight remaining contestants have already used both Djokovic and Ruud. So, technically we have eight winners, even though none of them can beat the draw.

The winners are Chad1, catman, jumpfroggy, led14pa2, mmmm8, shmrck14, Tolulops, and mu_royals.

If we go by the list on page 1, Chad1 has not used Djokovic. I think.

Chad1 is the contestant who used Djokoivic today.

p.s. I just updated the Page 1 post.
by Chad1 Woohoo! I was the crazy person who went for Alcaraz two picks ago and for Djokovic to beat him today in the semis.

Congrats to all of today's Ruud-picking co-champions!!!
by led14pa2 Congrats everyone else! Nice call saving Djokovic to beat Alcaraz, Chad.

Thanks Dave for running this contest. It’s always so much fun!
by shmrck14 Woo hoo, I thought for sure I was out. Thanks so much to contest organizers!
by mmmm8 It has been almost 15 years since I have won an SP! I'll take the 8-way! Congrats, all!
by dollymix Congrats to the winners! I backed myself into a corner by refusing to trust Zverev to win a match until it was too late.
by catman Whoo-hoo! My best GS ever :-). But I hope my seat in the loser's lounge is still saved; I imagine I'll be back by July 5th ;-).

If you as much dare to show your face by the LL BEFORE YOU LOSE TWICE AT WIMBY, I swear I will spike your drink :evil:
by Tolulops Very happy to have (finally) won again. Congratulations to all the other winners! And thanks to the folks who runs these SPs.
