In the 2021 Australian Open edition of You Can't Win Jack, there was a three-way tie between dave g, deelighted2, and IronMike. All three finished with 56 points after all had their picks eliminated by the semifinals.
No contestant correctly pegged a wooden spoon winner for either the men or the women for the first time since the 2018 US Open. Ponchi101 was closest to doing so, as his pick of Yasutaka Uchiyama survived until the men's final.
Kristýna Plíšková took home the spoon for the women. She lost to Heather Watson, who lost to Anett Kontaveit, who lost to Shelby Rogers, who lost to Ashleigh Barty, who lost to Karolína Muchová, who lost to Jennifer Brady, who lost to Naomi Osaka.
Andreas Seppi earned the last place trophy for the men. He lost to Pablo Cuevas, who lost to Alex de Minaur, who lost to Fabio Fognini, who lost to Rafael Nada, who lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas, who lost to Daniil Medvedev, who lost to Novak Đoković.
Thank you all for playing this first edition of YCWJ on Talk About Tennis 2.0, and we hope to see you all back for the French Open in May!
Congratulations, dave g, deelighted2, and IronMike, 2021 Australian Open YCWJ Champions!

Three-way tie, the first ever. Hard to get closer than that. And the next goal is a four-way tie. (No, not really)

Congrats to the "team". Although I won this contest once, I find it maddeningly frustrating. Perhaps our most difficult.
