So far, we have lost only six people today (Monday), which is pretty remarkable. Well done, crew!

For the day, right? We lost some more yesterday.

Commentary
Sonego 20 I suspect this will be a tough match, but I don't know enough to say more.
Goffin 13 He has been playing better recently, and should win.
Sousa 13 His opponent is a qualifier, and I don't know enough about Tseng. Sometimes qualifiers will surprise you.
Carreno Busta 11 He should win. I don't think Simon is back up to his previous level.
Djere 11 I really don't know. I would give Djere an edge.
Tiafoe 10 I don't have a lot of confidence in Tiafoe, especially on clay.
de Minaur 7 He should win, but I think that he is better on hard courts than on clay. So, I am less optimistic than I would usually be.
Hurkacz 6 This is another one of the "Unknown qualifiers might surprise you".
Vesely 3 I think this will be a tough match. Johnson is one of the few American men who don't play worse on clay than on hard courts.
Delbonis 2 This could be a tough match.
Shapovalov 1 Rune has been playing well on clay this year. You could be in trouble.

Sonego Sonego ...so good they picked him twice!
I suspect one of those Sonegos is a Sousa phone home

[jazzyg]

I won the head-to-head battle with Molcan v. Coria.

I guess it was a risky pick, but he has been playing well, he just beat Coria 6-2, 6-3 last week and plays Djokovic next.

[ponchi101]

A gutsy pick. Good it panned for you

You were right about De Minaur LOL

I did not even survive the day. Sat through the last set of Carreno-Busta's epic choke job against Simon. Up a break in the fifth set after rolling through the fourth set, he lost the last four games while barely being able to put a ball on court after not missing for the better part of two hours. He was by far the fresher player, but it was hard to play with one hand wrapped around his neck, so the 37-year-old has-been misogynist gets his moment of glory in his final French Open.

When I picked PCB I had NO IDEA simon was planning to retire after this season. No chance I would have picked him if I knew. This guy has absolutely abused me.
S.O.B. i got Simon'ed one last time.

Only 5 dead. That is good.

Commentary

Krajinovic 18 He should win, but I know almost nothing about his opponent.
Schwartmann 17 Munar has ben claying cloy court tournaments. I think Schwartzmann will win, but the match might be tougher than you are expecting.
Norrie 15 He should win, but I know amost nothing about his opponent.
Isner 7 Isner on clay. He probably wins, but I have less confidence than you.
Dimitrov 5 Not only has Dimitrov doing fairly well in clay court tournaments this year, but Coric has also been struggling. You will be fine.
Cuevas 4 You should be fine. But I would be more confident if Cuevas had done better in this year's clay court season.
Khachanov 3 He should win.
Korda 3 Of all of today's picks, he has one of the toughest opponents. You may be in for a rough ride.
Auger-Aliassime 1 He should win.

Bummers. I forgot to make my pick on Day 3; thought about it, set it aside and then forgot it! Better luck next time to me. My first time playing and you do a GREAT job with this. I'll be back!

Diego is taking 17 of us on quite the ride right now.

He'll pull it through. He is up in the fourth.

I was going to be mad at him if he lost, but now if he does I'll be mad at your for the jinx

[ponchi101]

Nah, worry not. I don't have those powers...
