ATP Day 1 pick summary
Start 9, but we might get some late entries
Cressey 1
Galan 1
Griekspoor 2
Kudla 1
Kyrgios 2
Lajovic 3
Start 10
Live 4
Dead 6
In Limbo 0
Just barely missing the appearance of The Ax. At 7 dead, The Ax would have appeared.
Since this is a practice pool, I am going to practice my pick commentary. Unfortunately, I am not as snarky as Drop-Shot. Also, the first rounds of Indian Wells and Miami are the worst because there are no seeded players. This means that the margins between the players are usually smaller, and the players are less well known.
Cressey 1 I wonder how much of Cressey's success is due to people not knowing how to play serve and volleyers. Once people figure out how to play against him, he will take a dip in the rankings. However, that probably has not happened yet, and you have a good chance of surviving today.
Galan 1 I have no clue who this guy is.
Griekspoor 1 I think his is playing against the better of the two Cerundolo brothers. This might be a tough match, but you are likely to survive.
Kudla 1 I assume this is in large part picking against Shang. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't
Kyrgios 1 The two main questions when picking Nick in a suicide draw pool are 'Am I picking him too soon?' and 'Am I picking him too late?' With his performance at Indian Wells, I suspect that you are picking him too soon. However, you might end up winning the whole pool today, by watching the rest of us die. At least you will make it to tomorrow.
Lajovic 3 I think you are playing the weaker of the two Cerundolo brothers. Some of this is picking against the weaker Cerundolo player, which can be dangerous. You have a decent chance of moving on.

I went out of IW with Svitolina just last week, I’m hoping lightning won’t strike twice

Of these two picks, I think the Musetti pick is the more endangered pick. I have seen Popyrin's name more often than Coria's name recently, but I don't remember how Popyrin has been doing. Since I think both the Brooskby pick will survive, you are all in deep trouble.
I am a bit surprised that no one picked either Korda or Van de Zandschulp.

Re: 2022 Miami practice SDP results and picks
We could keep picking. It is a practice pool.
Day 4 pick: Barty.
That should be safe, right. Right?
