After a day one slaughterhouse, we've just been slowly leaking players like a sad party balloon. Here are the Day 8 numbers:

Sorana Cirstea 16
Victoria Azarenka 13
Serena Williams 4
Tamara Zidansek 2
Marketa Vondrousova 1
Paula Badosa 1

And now for you, losers! Here are the ratings for the losing picks from the last two days:

Daria Kasatkina (6 victims) DANK This was TMQ's pick, so clearly it was Kasatkina who was wrong and not us.

Katerina Siniakova (3 victims) STANK Siniakova barely won her first two matches, so you were living on the edge and fell off.

Aryna Sabalenka (2 victims) STANK The tour's biggest Grand Slam choker gets permanent STANK status until she proves otherwise.

Karolina Muchova (5 victims) DANK While your pick was DANK, Muchova spent most of the match spraying STANK all over the court (or just off the court, to be precise)

Elina Svitolina (2 victims) STANK The scoreline alone earns this STANKy status. TMQ does not understand how Svitolina is a permanent fixture in the top 5.

Even as I type this, Cirstea is getting blown out by Zidansek in the second set, so I think this party balloon is about to turn into a Whoopie coushin!

My hat off to the Zidansek pickers... since I picked Cirstea
I guess making the updated topic was not bad, but what a way to die.

It will be either 3 or 7 moving on to the second week.

Out with Cirstea. All of today's picks kind of felt like tossups to me so I can live with it. Good luck to those remaining!

Congratulations to the survivors. Made it to the 2nd week, something to cheer about.

Making the updated thread is as far as I’ve ever gotten at RG... progress (but also pain.)

Props to the Zidansek pickers!

It appears I should have been bold again and gone with Pavs who was my other choice. I played safe and chose Serena. Lesson to be learned here I suppose...

Still better than I typically did on the old site.

Serena may come back but good luck to anyone who survives today.

And then there were 3. Congrats to y'all

Buahahahahahahahahahahahaha

So many losers! Time to rank your picks

Sorana Cirstea (16 victims) STANK TMQ is assuming most of you were saving your "better" picks for a future round, and that this bandwagon was more like a collective hivemind wishing a player whose name they recognize will beat a player whose name they don't. Don't feel too bad, though, because your better picks also lost today.

Victoria Azarenka (13 victims) DANK It's hard to predict which version of Vika is going to show up these days, but she should have put Pavs away pretty easily.

Serena Williams (4 victims) STANK Picking Serena anytime after the first week here was a dicey proposition--TMQ assumes you thought she'd lose to Vika, so I've stamped your ticket to STANKyville.

Marketa Vondrousova (1 victim) DANK Paula Badosa must be so tired.

Is it an All Canadian final three?

It is. You guys will get bragging rights for... one day. Not one second more

If Sakkari wins tomorrow we’ll have our champion decided (if none of us change picks.)
