2023 AOSP Women's Picks and Results Thread

#1

Post by JTContinental »

Hello and welcome to the 2023 Australian Open Survivor Pool! The rules are the same as always--when you're red, you're dead

Please emjoy this initial first pick information dump while I sort everything out. Unfortunately, I have to disqualify two entries right of the bat (CanuckRaonic and sh79), as their posts came after the start of play.

I count 163 players starting our 2023 season with bright dreams of shiny virtual medals that will soon turn to dark nightmares tarnished with blood. And while all death is the same, not all losing picks were created equally. The Tuesday Morning Quarterback will be here to document them all, and subsequently let you know if your losing pick is STANK or DANK.

Let's see how we did on Day 1--TMQ is sensing danger from the Krejcikova pickers who clearly have no idea who her opponent is

Qinwen Zheng 28
Bernarda Pera 21
Barbora Krejcikova 14
Clara Burel 10
Caty McNally 10
Emma Raducanu 8
Jil Teichmann 8
Kaja Juvan 7
Karolina Muchova 6
Xinyu Wang 6
Camila Osorio 5
Danielle Collins 4
Madison Keys 4
Elena Rybakina 4
Aliaksandra Sasnovich 4
Diana Shnaider 4
Amanda Anisimova 3
Nadia Podoroska 3
Polina Kudermetova 2
Rebecca Marino 2
Jelena Ostapenko 2
Coco Vandeweghe 2
Victoria Azarenka 1
Leolia Jeanjean 1
Anhelina Kalinina 1
Petra Kvitova 1
Maria Sakkari 1
Dayana Yastremska 1

Qualifiers are very dangerous people! They have won several rounds, so high on confidence, and have played in these conditions already...

That's because more of the upsets are happening on the men's side, where I was one of 13 foolish people who thought Warwinka would beat a clay-court specialist who entered the match with a career record of 9-17 on hardcourts (no, I'm not bitter!).

No, they are not ;)
I worked their percentages of win from the USO 2021 through W 2022. It is in the SUICIDE POOL Great Moments topic, starting here.
You have to go down the topic to see the results for four samples, but at best, picking a qualifier (that goes against an unseeded player) is a 50% proposition. They do tend to do worse than that.
Picking a qualifier that goes against a seed is, of course, very risky.

Kaia Kanepi 25
Donna Vekic 15
Shuai Zhang 15
Irina-Camila Begu 10
Liudmila Samsonova 5

We lost 5 more today to the dreaded no pick, and I've scuttled one zombie away from the door, leaving us with 114 players. However, half the field is still waiting to see if their first round pick comes through and, in a rare occurrence, TMQ actually hopes you pull through so I don't have to do all the paperwork.

Today's breakdown

Bianca Andreescu 38
Marta Kostyuk 28
Victoria Azarenka 10
Jil Teichmann 9
Elena Rybakina 7
Qinwen Zheng 6
Barbora Krejcikova 5
Petra Kvitova 3
Caty McNally 2
Danielle Collins 1
Madison Keys 1
Jelena Ostapenko 1
Maria Sakkari 1

Should round 1 finish tonight, tune in to see where you went wrong with your losing pick in TMQ's famous analysis: STANK or DANK

Also, a special callout to the Schmiedlova picker yesterday--a truly inspired selection influenced, I'm sure, by my constant insistence that Martina Trevisan can only play competitive tennis at the French Open. Bravo!
