After the Bautista-Agut's Galipoli, that is the kind of post that wins you enemies around here :evil:
(I did not pick BVDZ because felt it was too early. And BA looked like a very safe pick. Joking about the enemies above ;) )

It sure looked like Bautista Agut was a very safe pick and a lot of people would have agreed with you. Only if ya all would have had some inside info. on how he was feeling.

I don't know if this is a smart way to go about this whole SP thing but I have been trying to avoid the players that have been bandwagoned and been picking at least early on players that are a little more out there like Tommy Paul and BVDZ. So far it has worked out. Now tomorrow I may fall flat on my face with it.

Words uttered by every single person that has been playing this game for almost two decades now. Or a variation of them. You need to very very, very careful with your picks, and you need to be very, very lucky. It's why it is so maddening.

Today's pick of BVDZ was the one pick so far that has been the easiest on my nerves and it still went to 4 sets. :lol:

What you might find out, C4C, is that starting about now, third round, your pick really needs to win and then lose in the next round. If a couple of your early picks are still alive in the quarterfinals, you run out of people to pick. Preserving options for later is another nuance of the game.

We have the same pick again for Day 5. Positive Thoughts and Fingers Crossed.

There is this one point around R3 or R4 where you have to take a non conventional choice. Either from a 50/50 much or a higher seed. Very difficult to judge when exactly...

I'm definitely getting out of touch a bit. Saw tomorrow's list and thought, oh a seed against a wild card about to face Djokovic. That's got to be a slam dunk pick right? And see everyone ese picking the Wild Card. :)

Have we ever had a 3rd round WC so widely picked?

Good point. And when you put it that way: :freaking:
Not sure we've had many third-round WCs who just stormed to their first title on the surface.

He just beat Olpeka as well in 4 sets and isn't his opponent more of a Clay courter? That is why I picked him.

Bashilashvili: two hard court titles, three clay. Career records: 43/48 clay, 83/91 hard, 13/17 grass. He is a balanced player, winning about the same percentage in all surfaces. But his weakest one, by a little, seems to be grass.

This guy though van Rijhoven is definitely comfortable on the grass.
