Though excited to make the updated thread, I actually lost with Hurkacz...

I lost one day too early in both pools to make the updated threads.

With 6 of the 8 players being picked, these picks are officiallly "all-over-the-place".

Let the madness begin. Expecting Rune-Rublev and Shelton-Wolf to be close

I think the Rune pickers make it, the Shelton pickers.... what do I know?

arghhhhhh the worst part is I stayed up to watch this agonizingly erratic match lol

What a cruel way to end the match though!

Assuming that Djokovic will win, I will have to pick Lehecka, then either Paul or Bautista Agut (if Lacecka wins which is a huge if). Then I will have run out of picks... Is there anyone who can still beat the draw?

While I think there are several that can, most of the others have used Korda, so I think their odds of beating the draw are slim. It looks to me that ckelsall34 has the best chance, because ckelsall34 has not used either Korda or Djokovic.

I have seen at least three matches ending on let-cords that dropped like rotten peaches on the opponent's court: Murray/Matteo (also in the fifth set TB), Rune/Rublev, and last night, Paul/RBA (not in a TB).
Must be a very weird feeling.
