Talk About Tennis 2.0

Here's the place to brag up your losers when they stink it up as bad as some fancy French cheese and to sulk when they instead play as sweet as the aroma of a crêpe on the Roland Garros grounds. A pick tracker will be up after the start of main draw play and will be updated daily in the best case, and the scoreboard will be updated after each round.

A pick tracker has been posted: contests/ycwj/2021-FO-YCWJ-Pick-Tracker.htm. Please check that I have entered your picks correctly and let me know if I haven't.

I hope that everyone is remembering that the goal for this contest is to create a four-way tie for first place.

If you say so...

Tog, I love the YET TO PLAY designation!

Also, LOL van de Zandschulp

I had him too (I assume you did). He was a for sure loser, which made me one even more

I didn't (*), but he sure was popular.

That said, LOL me. Three of my four WTA picks have won, and the fourth is favored by the bookies.


* I've noticed that the wooden spoons are almost always players I've heard of.
Pity I didn't apply that pseudo-logic to Alcaraz as well.

Tog, Do you have some inside information? I don't even know how a perfect first round is possible!!!!!

It has happened several times. 20 pristine points, by players with an inordinate sense of smell to detect putridness at great distance.

But I, for one, have never managed to perfect that sense. This time I was 50/50....oh well, I've done far worse. GH

You know how many times I've won this contest, right?

Also, there has even been someone to get a perfect second round after a perfect first round. I'd be willing to bet I won't replicate that.

Over half of the contestants scored at least 15 out of the possible 20 points in the first round. Ktothem1 and Togtdyalttai earned a perfect 20. Federex and Tolulops are only one point behind. We'll see who can keep it up as the contest progresses.

Well, of my 6 remaining players...one is already a dead end. Cocciaretto lost to Bogdan but now Bogdan goes through due to the Naomi situation. So I'm down to 5 remaining players...

Yep, did even worse than if I had picked at random. 3 picks left. What a joke.
