Talk About Tennis 2.0

Hello all.
We have a large groups of participants this year, and thanks to all for joining. Let's see how many rounds we survive as, if you remember well, we had a bit of a disastrous Roland Garros. Actually, so bad that we should all be hired by the players are good luck charms.

I will post below my usual HTML file, so please, check your individual tab and let me see if I have made any mistakes. Some players (the real ones) have already finished their matches but those results are pending to be put into the sheet. So, for a brief moment, we all will have a perfect score of 20 points in R1.

Worst of luck!!!!

Here are the initial picks and scores

I edited my picks late Sunday night but I guess you didn't see it. My ATP #3 is listed as Borna, but there are several of them so I had updated it show last name of Gojo

Corrected.

With all these delays, we will have to wait one more day for scores.
But, I can tell you already. We are NOT doing great.

For maybe the first time ever, I went 8-0 in the first round.

It probably won't mean anything down the road, but fun nevertheless.

On the contrary. Doing well in R1 is critical. If you look at the story of the contest, I think the winner is usually a person that score between 18 and 20.
You are a great loser!

Ok.
We were able to finish R1, and I have to say:
I was wrong.
The lowest score for the round was a 9, but we have 11 players with 15+ points. Two perfect scores lead the race, by Federex and JazzyG.
Full scores and tabs are here. Let me know if there are any mistakes:

And...
of we go to round 2. Let's see when that one ends.

Congratulations on a stellar first round, Federex and JazzyG!

With the end of R2, we can update.
JazzyG led the second round too, losing only one player, and such player being a 4th pick. Thanks to that, JazzyG is in first place, with a stellar 39 points, one less than the theoretical maximum.
Federex was not able to keep that pace and dropped a bit, but IronMike and Ponchi101 lost no more players and are 2 and 3.
Will start updating the scores for R3, but, as always, let me know if you spot any errors in my acounting.

AND. To keep things in perspective. The WINNING SCORE FOR YCWJ AT RG was 32. There are three players in R3 with more than 34, and 7 with more than 30.
Maybe we finally learned how to play this game

Update for R3.
JazzyG is still in the lead, but did not score the highest total for the round. That went to TexasNiteOwl, who kept ALL if his players alive for the round and moved to 2nd place, tied with IronMike but keeping 5 options available.
YCWJ creator Togdyalttai has secured the wooden spoon for this contest, scoring the lowest score (a still respectable 14) and running our of picks.
11 players have scored more points than the winner of the RG YCWJ contest.
On we move to R4 contests/YCWJ.htm

While I have run YCWJ for a long time, I didn't create it. That was the user Jack on old TAT, who left circa 2006.

Ah, before my time. I thought you were the sadistic mind that came up with this idea

R4 is finished.
By now a good number of players have spent all their picks. Two players remain on top: JazzyG continues a fine run, and TexasNiteOwl has moved into second. While Jazzy has three picks left, they are all in the WTA side (3,2 & 1). TNO has two picks, one shared with JazzyG (Keys) but also Medvedev on the men's. It is not over for either one of them.
Updated table:

With the semis all set.
JazzyG and TexasNiteOwl remain in the lead, and both have picks available. JazzyG has two, TNO has 1, and both have Sabalenka, buy JazzyG has her at #3, TNO has her at #1. That may be a difference.
