2021 US Open SDP Losers' Lounge
This is where all the hopes of surviving the suicide draw pools come to die.
This is where we drown our sorrows after our picks decide to fall on their tennis racquets.
Feel free to come here and commiserate with others that are sharing your fate.
Note: Traditionally we have a "Jukebox from Hell" selection on this thread, but I do not have a repertoire of appropriate music. If someone else does have the appropriate music, please feel free to post it to this thread.

Selected music for NYC (Sunday brunch edition, for a mellow afternoon):

I picked Ann Li, which means the very first completed match of the tournament knocked me out. Do I get some kind of honorable mention for that?

I know it was hard for someone to find a way to get knocked out before you did, but someone managed. On the men's side, someone managed to pick someone from a Day 2 match, and therefore was knocked out when the first players walked onto the court.

Tell us the name of how you want your medal to be named. Seeing your name, I would not mind calling it "The Dolly".
What a bummer, Dollymix. Hope you will do better in the men's

Maybe they're an older fan and thought Li Na was still playing...JTContinental wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 4:56 pmFor that pick, I'm afraid you get a dishonorable mention...
Re: 2021 US Open SDP Losers' Lounge
Haha, I knew which Li I was picking - I have no excuses! I was also considering Putintseva and Sherif, so clearly all my instincts were wrong - apologies in advance to anyone who picked Paolini, my other option.aidsasis wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 5:26 pmMaybe they're an older fan and thought Li Na was still playing...JTContinental wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 4:56 pmFor that pick, I'm afraid you get a dishonorable mention...
Re: 2021 US Open SDP Losers' Lounge
And then my other pick Marin Cilic, in his 840th-or-so career match, retires for the first time in his career, after giving up a two-sets-to-love lead. At least I've freed up some time the rest of the week!

Enough time to find the witch that put that curse on you. What a day!

And Foki, slowly, is getting his butt kicked and bringing 16 of us closer to the edge of the cliff, because, you know, he has never met a dog he would like to put down. And he is not going to take care of Trungeletti like he should.

Oh my. What was I thinking? Putintseva lost to Kanepi and I am back in the lounge. Do we still get drinks in here? Vodka martini anyone?

Re: 2021 US Open SDP Losers' Lounge
I am trying to figure out if I hate losing on the first day or if I like losing on the first day; one less thing to do during a busy time.
p.s. I did lose on the first day on the men's side.

....Meanwhile, ****'in Sonego, who ALMOST blew a 5-0 first set tiebreaker lead- managed to lose the second and third sets after being up breaks in both sets. AND, he's had the mandatory MTO in the third set already.
See y'all soon.
