I see there's a day 8 thread for the men up, but they don't play on day 8. I thought all the QFs were played on the same day. Are we supposed to pick from separate halves of the draw? Thanks.

I had the same question. Why is there a pick to be made for Day 8 when no men's matches are scheduled (except the completion of the Medvedev/Hurkacz match).

I’m curious too. On the women’s side, the day 8 pick is from all 4 quarterfinal matches, not just 2.

This is all academic for me since I died in the women’s pool a few days ago, and crashed out on the Rublev bandwagon today.

I had forgotten that Wimbledon's second week schedule doesn't match the second week schedule of any of the other majors. So I wrote the thread like the schedule for all of the other majors. I have since corrected the initial post for that thread, but I don't know how to change the thread name.
So, the picks are actually Day 9 picks due tomorrow (Wednesday), and all four matches will be listed once the Medvedev vs Hurkacz match if finished.

The ATP Day 8/9 pick list thread has been updated. Feel free to change your picks, if you wish.

To change the name of a topic, just edit and change the title in the first post.
I did that. But all the follow up posts retain the original name in the RE:
