Re: 2022 WSP Women's Picks and Results Thread
And now, a word about our R64 losers, specifically about their DANKness or STANKness:
Sorana Cirstea (11 victims) DANK I'm at a loss to explain this loss--there's been a rash of bad luck that has been knocking out a lot of players in this possibly cursed tournament.
Sara Sorribes Tormo (11 victims) DANK TMQ bestows forgiveness on you for thinking Tan was due for a letdown. However, if you read about her response to her doubles opponent's Instagram slam, you'll see that she is unbothered.
Anhelina Kalinina (2 victims) DANK Like at the French Open, TMQ will tastefully refrain from dunking on Ukrainian players.
Anett Kontaveit (2 victims) STANK TMQ will dunk on Kontaveit though, who seemingly has forgotten how to play tennis during the offseason.
Bianca Andreescu (1 victim) STANK Her "comeback" has been a little overhyped. She's improved this year, but not that much.

And that was a match between Ukrainians, so at least one had to lose.JTContinental wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 11:15 am And now, a word about our R64 losers, specifically about their DANKness or STANKness:

Re: 2022 WSP Women's Picks and Results Thread
My history of never winning a WTA SP continues with Juvan's loss to Watson, but I'm OK with it. Watson is a delightful person who deserved to finally reach the fourth round.
As for the match, Juvan is the better player but just got too tight in the first set, losing a break lead late in the first set, dropping the tiebreak 8-6 and then going away for the first five games of the second set. That's the risk you take when you pick an unproven 21-year old trying to make history of her own.

It seems this will be the customary day of upsets with very few survivors left. Not including me unfortunately...

Re: 2022 WSP Women's Picks and Results Thread
Since Garcia and Zhang have one pick each, yes, 13 seems to be the number before the end of the 3rd round.

Does this mean we move to an updated thread?
I want to celebrate making the updated thread, but have no confidence that I am going to make it through another day or two.
So, maybe, I'll just celebrate making through today.
p.s. JTContinental: We still have 65 people on the ATP side. How come you get all the pools that wrap up quickly?
