Re: 2023 FOSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
I was thinking of picking Jeanjean but I couldn't justify taking such a risk with Muchova, Begu and Svitolina available. Albeit my Muchova pick looked bad at one stage during the match...

Re: 2023 FOSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
I’m the Ostapenko picker. I’ve been burned by Mertens before and I wanted to save Svitolina and Muchova, so I thought surely former champion Penko could get through Peyton Stearns! Good luck to all those who made superior choices!

So we'll be down to either 41 or 42 depending on Rakhimova vs Frech match.

Thank you for replenishing my DANK-otonin levels with this spot-on read. I stand by all my weekend choices, the DANK and the STANK.JTContinental wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 5:39 am Petra Kvitova (1 victim) CHAPTER 18: E(xtremely) D(umb) M(ove): FESTIVAL OF TERROR
STANK This player has already explained their reason for this choice in the Loser's Lounge, and it sounds like you have had enough DANKness over the holiday weekend. TMQ prescribes a gallon of orange juice and a day of watching Run for the Money on Netflix in a cool, dark room.

Message to JT.
Remember, when addressing my Gracheva pick, that the ADVANCED formatting menu can include superscripts.
As in DANK2.
It might come handy.

Everyone and their mother picking Cocciaretto today. I wonder how many of them have seen Simona Waltert play...

Counterpoint: Everyone has seen Madison Keys play and still several people selected her

Re: 2023 FOSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
Turned out to be an easy match, and I say a very good pick, because how far can Cocciaretto go?
Picking Maddie will always have its perils, as it happened today. I guess it was one of those picks made AGAINST the other player, not for Maddie.JTContinental wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 10:28 am Counterpoint: Everyone has seen Madison Keys play and still several people selected her
Miss Day today became Miss Die.

Re: 2023 FOSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
So, yeah, about that... I've gone with stat-based participation in SP's in 2023, having seen extremely little tennis on television (or elsewhere) so far this year and the moment seemed right to pick Keys as, according to the infinite wisdom of my own calculations, she wouldn't go much further after this round and I had a different route to my next medal in mind.JTContinental wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 10:28 am Counterpoint: Everyone has seen Madison Keys play and still several people selected her
Indeed, I was wrong. What a day...
My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.

Re: 2023 FOSP Women's Picks & Results Thread
Are you trying to say that Waltert is a hot prospect?
I had never heard of her, let alone seen her play. And apparently the WTA website has not heard enough of her to even be able to tell us how old she is.
Okay, just found her on the live rankings website. She's about a month older that Cocciaretto, so that seems like a pretty reasonable pick.

Cocciatretto won a WTA125 tournament during the clay season, tooo, so as risks go, this was a pretty safe one.

I was so conflicted about picks last night that I woke up thinking I had picked Vekic. Fortunately, I picked Wang instead.
