Loser's Lounge

This is where you come and commiserate with others when you pick loses. If you need something to drown your sorrows, this is the place to come. They will serve almost anything you like. I wonder if they serve beer with Grendine in Great Britain (it is the only combination of beer and strawberries I could think of.).

My first round ATP pick feel so risky, that I am pretty likely to show up here soon. And I wanted to make sure that the lounge was here before I needed it.

But, by God, my dear fellow!!!! Of course we serve a QUEEN MARY!!!! That is how that cocktail is actually called. We say it is actually one of the finest ways to ruin both a beer and a good shot of grenadine but if you so fancy such a concoction, we will oblige!
Please, go right ahead. Here you have one, for you to start preparing for when your head is chopped off by some lousy pick that will be totally your fault in retrospect. Cheers!

You have to do better than that! ;) Will there be a bloodbath? Of course, usually sooner than expected. But you have to tell us WHEN do you expect it! Day 2? Saving it for Day 5? Or some ghastly event to slaughter the innocent and guilty alike on the first Saturday?
Please, don't hold back on your predictions! Be bold! Be brave!

I suspect there will be some tears before bedtime on day one on the men's side.

I'd like to request a public flogging for my double no-pick on Day 2. For shame!

Potapova - what happens when you wake up at 4 AM and realize you forgot to make Day 2 picks. I refuse to be responsible for this bleary eyed selection. I think a black russian is an appropriate drink of choice.

Well, a stupid pick blew up in my face. Picking Ruud on grass was not smart, even though I was picking against a guy clearly on his way out.
And since I don't like Fabio, that makes it even worse.
A beer will do.

Or several... :cry:

I fell asleep last night without making picks. Typically wake up at 5:50. Hit snooze this morning. Got up, sat down, and realized at 6:03. Oops.

You don't really want to know. Not at least until you are double-cheeked.
