LOL, and HERE is today's irony....I originally had put down Cornet, had considered Azarenka.....then, I saw ALL!!!!!! you monsters picking Begu, looked at the records of the two....and, EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN WELL AWARE OF HOW MANY CHINESE WOMEN ARE DOING GREAT AT THIS TOURAMENT.....yup, I switched over to Begu!! (IF Cornet also loses, then I might not feel so bad.) :freaking:

I don't like my Begu pick, but I don't think there are much better alternative anyway..
Was even thinking just to pick Iga.

No excuse for us. Face it- we picked a player with a name eerily similar to a cartoon character from The Jetsons. :gorgeous:

I picked Alexandrova. Then I came back and switched. Then came back again and picked somebody else. Then came back and picked, again, Begu.
Yep, I deserve it.

I. Had. Picked. Cornet. Which means that one should make their own picks, and ignore the bandwagons. (Except, of course, when they're right and you're wrong.) :freaking:

When I came here this morning and saw all the Begu pickers, many with multiple medals (of which I obviously have none), I thought, "Wow, they must know something I don't. I probably should follow their lead." But I decided to go with my first instinct of Collins. She better not let me down tonight!

The problem is that Collins might not only win today, but keep winning all the way to SF's or even beyond...

Wanderlust. We TALK ABOUT TENNIS. That does not mean we KNOW ABOUT TENNIS. :P

Every time I watch Lauren Davis play I wonder how she manages to win any matches against WTA opponents. Even though she knocked me out of the pool today, kudos to her for figuring out ways to beat more talented opponents.

I guess I just delayed the inevitable. Switched my pick from Alexandrova, avoided the Begu bandwagon and ended up taking van Uytvanck and losing anyway.

Ekaterina Alexandrova 16
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
