Talk About Tennis 2.0

Federex has won the 2021 Wimbledon edition of You Can't Win Jack!, having led throughout the tournament (he was tied with jazzyg after the first round). While all of his picks had lost by the end of the quarterfinals, it was still enough to hold on for a win.

No contestant correctly pegged either wooden spoon winner for the second time this year (it also happened at the Australian Open). Is this the beginning of a trend after at least one contestant picked a spoon winner for every slam in 2019 and 2020? This time, Tolulops came closest to doing so. His pick of Gilles Simon was a win from Matteo Berrettini away from achieving the cross-Channel double of last place finishes.

Now for the actual ultimate losers. For the women, it was Varvara Gracheva. She lost to Petra Martić in the first round, who lost to Irina-Camelia Begu in the second round, who lost to Iga Świątek in the third round, who lost to Ons Jabeur in the fourth round, who lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals, who lost to Karolína Plíšková in the semifinals, who lost to Ashleigh Barty in the final. Not to be outdone, Pablo Carreño Busta was the men's spoon winner. He lost to Sam Querrey, who lost to James Duckworth, who lost to Lorenzo Sonego, who lost to Roger Federer, who lost to Hubert Hurkacz, who lost to Matteo Berrettini, who lost to Novak Đoković in the final.

Thank you all for playing and for your patience with my difficulties getting things up and running. We hope to see you all back next month for the US Open edition!

congrats federex!

Well done Federex! With such a strong performance by nearly everyone in the early rounds, it was some going to lead all way through

Congratulations, Federex. A pole-to-pole win is a difficult thing to accomplish!

Well done, Federex. This remains, to me, the hardest contest of them all. With the parity in the WTA and the parity in the ATP, once you take out Novak, this contest is maddeningly difficult.

Thanks everyone. I think it is getting harder to harder to predict the wooden spoon now, so there is always some luck involved.
WTA has been a random lottery for a few years, and it seem it is getting harder to predict ATP now too, especially when medium seed play another medium seeds.
