Agree. We all meant Botic Van De Zandshulp. I mean, it is basically spelled the same.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
Apparently not, and I feel like an absolute tool for letting myself believe there's such a thing as a relatively safe Frenchie
Hell is other people, particularly your neighbours.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
Day 5 Pick Commentary
I am usually out of the pool by now, so feel free to take my commentary with several grains of salt.
Certain death: we have picks on both sides of the Nakashima vs Musetti match. I have no clue who is going to win. If I had to make a bet, I would probably bet on Nakashima.
Then we have the "who is going to win the next round match" questions: Ruud vs Fritz and Rublev vs Dimitrov. I don't like the idea of having to pick from either of those matches. However, picking one of these four should get you to the next round, where you can fret over your next choice.
Zverev. Do I trust Zverev to win his Round 4 and Round 5 matches? No. So, is this the last round that I would feel comfortable about picking Zverev? Probably. So, this might be a really good pick, only time will tell.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
I can't locate the picks for Day 6. I want to make sure I get my pick of Machac in for Day 6. Thanks.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
Well, Ruud made me nervous, but I didn't want to pick Nakashima/Musetti and thought Fritz and Dimitrov too early, and Rublev screwed me earlier this year, so Ruud was the only choice I was willing to make! Finally survived at least!

It was a tough day of picking for sure... and lots of changes in chances with Djerko and Alcaraz both out.texasniteowl wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 2:13 am Well, Ruud made me nervous, but I didn't want to pick Nakashima/Musetti and thought Fritz and Dimitrov too early, and Rublev screwed me earlier this year, so Ruud was the only choice I was willing to make!

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
....OK, I am going to put this out there, and prepare myself for the understandable venom sure to come my way....I am, as many of us are, going with Tommy Paul as my pick for tomorrow. See- and trust me, I love winning imaginary trophies- I am seriously hoping that we all lose. I am a new fan of Diallo. He won the tournament in Chicago, and I really like his game. I hope he will end up with a terrific career.
Still, contest-wise, I must turn my back on Diallo.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
I watched Diallo play twice during qualifying and have watched some of his main draw matches on TV. He is an exciting player to watch. But I would not pick him to beat Paul today either, although I would be happy if he did since I am not one of the Paul pickers today.nelslus wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 4:38 am ....OK, I am going to put this out there, and prepare myself for the understandable venom sure to come my way....I am, as many of us are, going with Tommy Paul as my pick for tomorrow.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
I decided Paul will beat Gaillo, but has a good chance against Sinner. So I switched to Machac.
And I won't mind if Gaillo beats Paul. Seems like a very nice player.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
Day 6 Pick Commentary
Certain Death: We have a single pick on both sides of Borges vs Mensik. Both are trying to save as many options for later as they can.
Paul: assuming that he beats Diallo and loses to Sinner. One of the best options for today.
Machac: Another attempt to save as many options for later. I think this will work.
Draper: While I think Draper will win today, some of your future picks are going to be nerve-racking. But so will everybody else's picks.
Arnaldi: Maybe
De Minaur: Your future picks are probably the most nerve-racking around.

Re: 2024 USOpen SDP: ATP Picks and Results
Footspeed matters a lot on this fast court, and Paul is one if the quickest
