I knew it was a lousy pick and didn't have the gumption to just pick Lauren instead.
Sigh
Another year, and no lessons learned haha

Irina-Camila Begu & Ekaterina Alexandrova (42 combined victims) DANK Were these good picks? Not really, especially for those who saw Alexandrova's first round struggles. But with the sheer joy and dopamine rush these collective losses provided TMQ yesterday, four green letters on a tennis forum is the least we can do in return.

Barbora Krejcikova (7 victims) STANK Krejcikova is still coming back from the dual whammy of a serious injury and not being as good as her 2021 results. The field knows how to play her now, so her element of surprise is gone.

Yulla Putintseva (4 victims) STANK Putintseva looked fairly terrible in her first round against Anisimova, just not as terrible as Anisimova (nor did she develop both a fake injury and a fake illness after dropping the first set). She was doomed as soon as she stepped on court.

Alison van Uytvanck (4 victims) STANK van Uytvanck's stellar US Open career since 2014 includes her R164 bye against Venus and Viktoria Kuzmova. Need I say more?

Beatriz Haddad Maia (3 victims) DANK While TMQ personally called this upset, it was just on a hunch more than any actual statisical backing. Nothing that happened this summer foretold this result.

Harriet Dart (2 victims) STANK Dart was definitely due a letdown after her upset of Kasatkina, or at least a return to her regular losing form.

Leylah Fernandez (2 victims) STANK You waited one round too long to make this sassy pick. TMQ knows this, because he pulled the trigger at the right time in the first round.

Maria Sakkari (1 victim) DANK Sakkari is struggling mightily with confidence at the moment, but she shouldn't have struggled this hard.

...

How DARE you? Clearly, the Begu pick Stank. Your lack of contempt for us Begu pickers shrinks all of us to an eternal level of Shame & Stank (not Dank) Despair. We beg you. Please reconsider.
