I can guarantee you JT is already foaming at the mouth due to complete and utter glee.

If I counted correctly we've got:

Azarenka - Pliskova: 7-7
Kvitova - Pegula: 6-3
Swiatek - Niemeier: 6-0
Collins - Sabalenka: 1-0

(1 Sabalenka pick but by someone who had Samsonova yesterday.)

We had 1 more no pick on Day 8, leaving 30 with a chance to make it to the coveted Updated P&R Thread. TMQ also owes you a recap, which he will provide shortly.

The breakdown

Karolina Pliskova 8
Victoria Azarenka 6
Petra Kvitova 6
Iga Swiatek 6
Jessica Pegula 3
Danielle Collins 1

Better late than never--here is round 3 loser round up! There were only two killers during these two days, but were their murders STANK or DANK?

Qinwen Zheng (18 victims) DANK Niemeier is a bit of an unknown, but seems like she might be a solid upset pick over the next few years. Appropos of nothing, there was a movie from the 90's where Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes played drag queens call Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar and I think about it every time I see Jule Niemier in print.

Shelby Rogers (1 victim) DANK An ambitious pick, but it wasn't totally out of question given Jabeur and Rogers' respective forms coming into this tournament.

My pick for today was recorded as Pliskova, but I took Swiatek:

Fixed--TMQ regrets the error

After the dust has settled, 17 of us have received our golden ticket to the Updated Picks & Results thread, including TMQ (for the first time in forever). I'll analyze your R16 losing picks there later tonight.
