AOSP25 Women's Picks and Results Thread

[JTContinental]

Welcome all to the 2025 Survivor Pool! The Tuesday Morning Quarterback has returned as host with a brand new laptop, fully equipped to guide you into the afterlife with some lighthearted snark once you've made your fatal mistake. Two poor individuals have sadly already made that mistake, trying to sneak their pick in after the cutoff time. For the rest of you, when you're read, you're dead.

Once I disposed of...er...dismissed the stragglers, I count 144 players to start Day 1. The bandwagon seems a bit rickety to me, especially since her opponent is a player on the rise, albeit Fernandez was up a break before the heavens opened.

The numbers:

Leylah Fernandez 48
Marta Kostyuk 18
Anastasia Potapova 14
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 13
Donna Vekic 12
Bernarda Pera 8
Paula Badosa 7
Anna Blinkova 6
Jule Niemeier 5
Jessica Bouzas Maniero 3
Cristina Bucsa 3
Sonay Kartal 2
Suzan Lamens 2
Viktoria Erjavec 1
Linda Noskova 1
Qinwen Zheng 1

[ashkor87]

ChatGPt says Zheng would be the good bet today

[dave g]

16 players picked from 15 matches. There will be some blood.

[ashkor87]

Am a bit surprised at Kostyuk's mini-bandwagon...I love her, but she has really done badly in the last 3 months ..losing to people she really should just blow away..

[tenedab]

I don't see Kovinic v Sun on OOP, it's probably next day(Tuesday)

[JTContinental]

The schedule of play has been changed since I posted the Day 2 matches, I guess because so many matches were canceled yesterday.

This is going to be a mess, but I'll see what I can do to mitigate

[JTContinental]

These are the 4 matches that have been rescheduled.

Anhelina Kalinina vs Ons Jabeur
Camila Osoria vs Maria Sakkari (31)
Mayar Sherif vs Dayana Yastremska (32)
Danka Kovinic vs Lulu Sun

After looking at the Day 2 picks thread, it doesn't seem reasonable to ask so many people to re-pick so shortly before the order of play, so I'm going make Day 3 a free day. I'll make an announcement in a separate thread.

[JTContinental]

No picks needed for Day 3--if you win today, you get a day off until Day 4. If you picked from the 4 matches listed above, your pick will roll over to Day 3 and you don't need to make another one.

Read here for details

NO DAY 3 PICK NEEDED

[JTContinental]

I count 129 players remaining after clearing out the 7 no picks

REMEMBER, THIS IS YOUR PICK FOR DAY 2 AND DAY 3. YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A SEPARATE PICK FOR DAY 3.

The breakdown

Elise Mertens 28
Marketa Vondrousova 15
Karolina Muchova 14
Liudmila Samsonova 10
Lulu Sun 9
Maria Sakkari 8
Victoria Azarenka 6
Dayana Yastremska 6
Magda Linette 5
Diana Shnaider 5
Elina Svitolina 4
Naomi Osaka 3
Greet Minnen 2
Jessica Pegula 2
Laura Siegemund 2
Destanee Aiava 1
Danielle Collins 1
Caroline Dolehide 1
Magdalena Frech 1
Ons Jabeur 1
Ashlyn Krueger 1
Polina Kudermetova 1
Zeynep Sonmez 1
Rebecca Sramkova 1
Katie Volynets 1

[JTContinental]

Vondrousova takes out 15 by pulling out of her match last minute

[JTContinental]

Meanwhile on the other bandwagon, Mertens saved two match points in the second set to take the win in at least two (that I watched), and more likely three, agonizingly boring and terrible sets.
