I know that coming from a fellow loser, this is meaningless, but I would have picked him too. He handled Diego easily just a couple of days ago.
A strange result and even stranger score.

Commentary
Auger Aliasimme 18 I think he should win. But if Nadal has foot problems today or Sunday, you could find youself in trouble.
Norrie 15 I think he should win.
Zverev 6 As long as you have a good pick for next round, you will be OK.
Isner 5 I liked the post with the fingers crossed. Zapata Miralles just beat Taylor Fritz, so I suspect that he will beat John Isner. I almost picked Zapata Miralles. So, keep your fingers crossed.
Dimitrov 3 So much for that pick, It is bad enough that he lost, but 3-1-2 ???
Djokovic 1 I think you will want to have saved him for later.
Krajinovic 1 He is playing Auger Aliassime, who has 18 pickers. I hope you know something they don't.

Especially since Diego barely won last round too.

I thought Dimitrov was on the decline and never would have picked him against Schwartzman at the French-but I don’t follow either of them that closely I suppose

Sunday, we will move to an Updated Picks and Results thread.

While it looks like Zverev will win easily, he hasn't quite yet so the greening of his name seems premature.

That would be quite the epic jinx. On serve in third, although he's technically "down."

I feel better about switching my pick from Norrie to Dimitrov now - I was doomed either way, so I'm glad I got knocked out before I even woke up today.

Day 7 Pick Summary

Commentary

I think you all will make it through today. The only concern is whether or not the Tsitsipas picker is picking him too early.
