We have reached a stage in this half of the draw, where the picks are less about who is going to win this match and more about who is going to win future matches. Good luck, players.

We have 2 Rublev versus 1 Sinner. With no one taking Tsitsipas, I am assuming everyone is saving him until later.

by dave g And everyone left gets sideswiped by Rune defeating Tsitsipas. From my count, only 5 of you have the option of picking Rune in a later round. This isn't a full ax job, but I do think it is time for the following "Jukebox From Hell" selection of "Danger Zone",

Or the people that are still alive really know how to play this game, because that bullet was masterfully dodged.

by ptmcmahon You and I both know that's not true (well probably) :) It's often better to be lucky than good.

by ponchi101 If I were any good with GIF's, I would post the famous MATRIX scene of Keanu Reeves dodging bullets. Because Stefanos seemed like a solid pick to reach the final.
But of course, so says the man that lost to a burger on day 5.

by dave g If Svereve beats Alcaraz, we will be down to two poeple.

by ptmcmahon Heh, possibly another example of being right not paying off. If you thought "I better pick Nadal / Djokovic today because he will lose to Alcaraz" you were wrong... and still alive.

If you thought "I better pick Alcaraz today because there is no way he makes the final!" You were right...and out :)

by karlovicfanclub In retrospect, the bold move would have been to think outside of the box and pick Djoko or Rafa today with the hope that Alcaraz would beat the winner of their match in the next round. Of course if I had done that and picked the correct winner, I would have been in trouble in the semis since I had already used Zverev.
In any case, congratulations to the remaining contestant. It's been fun and we'll do this again next month for Wimbledon!
