I picked Tiafoe initially and then decided that one was too close for my current luck.

Actually, there was a match yesterday (Draper vs Khachanov) which had pickers on both sides, also. But so far, it has been relatively rare to have pickers on both sides of a match.

Day 1 had both Basilashvili and Wu pickers (I remember because I was one of the latter).

Day 7 Pick Summary

Start 73
No Pick 2
Left 71

Ruud 38
Carreno Busta 20
Berrettini 12
Khachanov 1

Start 71
Alive 51
Dead 20
In Limbo 0

The people that will win maybe had to pick the potential Ruud/Berrettini match correctly.
Brave pick, that Khachanov. But I wonder if it will be correct.

Khachanov does have a 5-3 HH against Carreño Busta. Made me not take Carreño Busta for today, even with Khachanov's lately crap results. Nevertheless, I do think Carreño Busta will win. (NOT at all sure that I've got my pick right today- Ruud- with his next match.....)

Why are the PCB pickers already in green? Am I watching a replay?

LOL, nope. It's currently one set all, with Khachanov up a double break in the third set.

If Pablo ends up beating Karen, the Karen pickers should blame Dave for the early green highlight.

Ditto. Anyone who picked from the PCB/KK match is very brave. I tried and tried but I simply could not guess who would win this one. Finally figured it's better to lose in the next round than in this one.

And the Khachanov picker is correct.

Khachanov Picker. I am a lucky guy against 20 other picks

Kudos to you!!! Sometimes you have to make bold picks in these suicide pools. It worked out well for you!!

I was too scared to touch this match-up

Organizers, I just checked your list and saw that I was red-ed yesterday - but to be clear, I picked Norrie on Day 6, not Schwartzman, (I checked just now to make sure) I never picked Schwartzman at all.

Is there another Pudding here? Because nearly ALL the picks attributed to me are incorrect.

Here is what's posted - Pudding: Korda Nakashima Murray Cilic Khachanov Schwartzman
Here is what I actually picked - Korda Kecmanovic Wolf Evans Kyrgios Norrie

I didn't even change any of my picks, only one for each day. (I just checked to confirm.)

I worked really hard to get to Week 2 lol -

I was accidentally redded though I picked a winner today (Casper Ruud). It's okay, I know you weren't being ruud.

...I'll show myself out.
