This is where you come to drink and commiserate about your picks that lost.
This is also where we all end up. ;)

Well...that's a quick out for me on the WTA side of things. Bye Bye Yastremska.

Why Cobolli? He hasn't played since November. Likely not ready and came here just to collect R1 paycheck.

Cobolli was sick. He practiced with Carlos in the offseason. He was ready enough to play his way into the tournament.

Maybe so, but I'd not have taken a non top 10 player without a single match this year.

Now watch me crash out with Tien tomorrow. :D

I forgot that stat from Cobolli. Went by seeding and the Q next to his opponent.

Thought a favourite oldie would get through one round at least, but Pavlyuchenkova has put me out of the womens. If she retires this year at least I won't have to keep remembering how to spell her name.

Anybody mind if I join? I totally forgot to pick. Motobass as well. We'll blame it on Bears mania.

Sure. Go ahead. I recommend you pick Cobolli for your 1st round. ;)
