I'm up against ajanwalker this week and we both got the yesterday question right. Looking at our answers, I like my chances. OK, today it will be tough because I have Algeria not to lose against Netherlands, but surprises are always possible in friendly games.
Also, ajanwalker I see that you didn't do proper research with the tennis question because I already have the advantage there. You went with Sinner who lost to Cerundolo last week. Now I only need Zverev to win the title or Auger-Aliasseime to reach the final to get that point.

Good luck, my friend. I also need to get 3 points this week. May the best team win.

Heh, we'll all have Zverev so we'll be in the same boat once Fonseca destroys him.
He did play well today though - that was one of the reasons I decided to stick with him.

Guess its got to be Mensik now who has to destroy Zverev right lol

Tennis is so random honestly, if you follow the odds, so in the end the best way is to follow seeds if you don't want to do research, right? Wrong. Sinner and Djokovic out too

50/50 everything and DAMN YOU WALES

No luck for me or my opponent; Wales didn't beat Ghana. To my surprise, they played well, so Croatia will need to be on alert when they play against them in Round 3. Quite frankly, it might be the game that sends one of the two countries home.

Ouch Slissy didn’t even submit, hangover on a Tuesday?

Hope it wasn't because he failed to score a single point in the previous round.

But fuck Sabalenka, didn't watch but she bageled on the final set today. What happened? You get what you deserve I suppose, when it comes to WTA. Or, rather, I. I get what I deserve. Saba outright at 32/10, I thought that was value, serves me right.

Sabalenka on a day that she's having a little breakdown is very tough to watch, it was a match to lose and she lost it... She had not reason whatsoever to have lost the match, she was up 4-1 and then 5-4 with an opportunity to serve the match out, meanwhile after losing a serve at 4-2 she started her usual gesture of anger towards someone from her coaching team, she then went on to lose the next 10 consecutive games, and trust me if the match was a best of 10 sets, she literally would have lost all remain 9 sets.

Looks like Ruud was already out of the tournament even before I picked him in the Tennis question - I really need to do way more research before choosing my answers. I need Berrettini to lose before the final so I do not lose points on that one.

I got it right on the Wales - Ghana match but so did my opponent, so we are still locked level. I expected draws in most of the friendlies so close to the main thing, teams are likely to settle for a result and not go all in, that is ironic when this is the only draw I picked Huh

The others just seemed to have a clear winner but I fear I may have been wrong to not go with draws.

I'm just seeing now that Saba lost her match guess it's a good thing my opponent and I both have the same answer, Roalnd Garros has been crazy this year all these top seeds getting beat and then the players that beat the higher seeds get washed by opponents lesser than the seed that they beat. Just overall madness basically I might lose a point on h2h tennis but gotta wait and see how the matches go today. Grin

Every season we have drop outs and this season first one is knuckey. All his past results have been changed to 0:3 for his opponents, that means free points for some

All his future games will be registered with 0:3 for his opponents as well. This is different that before since previously I would immediately credit those points but due to the way my algorithm with Claude works I think this way has much better chances to avoid any errors in the process.

If you are playing against knuckey you are free in that round and you don't have to submit. But that doesn't stand if you are still alive in LMS, if you are you have to play for that. Even if you have nothing to play for you are still in contention for Div 4 free bet so I would advise you to simply continue playing like nothing happened.

Original table is still available in the OP so you can check for possible mistakes or just see who profited the most from this situation.

Ahhh man that woman tennis question put me behind so early against my rival the only good thing is at least we have 5 more diferent answers so the game is still on and i can change this bad start, but is a complete shit when you already lose a point for a question which was made for being settled much more onwards.

I was not expecting that.

Auger-Aliassime is latest one doing with the shenanigans in Roland-Garros, he won the first set the lost the next two consecutive ones, and I have him as my pick while my opponents went with Coboli, so this one is a direct h2h between but if Auger-Aliassime cannot turn this around, I have to hope Berrettini can continue his fine form to win both the quarter and semifinal matches.

Sabalenka as well, oh god I really hate WTA. I thought I had this one in the bag when I saw my opponent had No.

Now I need Netherland to win with cleansheet tonight to catch up.

Im fine with her losing the 2nd set because I was expecting her to bounce back on the 3rd set but yet I watched her being crushed on the 3rd set. It seems she had some sort of mental breakdown after losing the 2nd set

where is FELIX the cat #Tennis

Damn now with FAA going out of the tournament I no longer have to worry about that h2h any more, thank you kindly Cobolli so guess it will 4-0 against FAA after this, Spurs game later but we have same answer there so no sweat, but man Vegas is looking really beastly would be great if they steal game 2 if not they still have advantage just hope they can use it and go ahead. Grin

It is so strange to see all favorites dropping out of tennis but luckily I was not the only one trusting Sabalenka would survive this massacre.
Luckily I picked Cobolli to be with Zverev in final only because he was better in h2h matches against Auger Aliassime Felix.
Bigger problem for me is that Carolina lost the first match against Vegas, and now they have two win next two games, so I can win a point.

FAA was the only guy I was sure I won't be picking from the top side of the draw so I went with Cobolli - all he needs is 1 more win for me to get a decent advantage.
Sabalenka's loss is cheap - no remaining LMS participants went with it so it's basically the same for me.

Let's see what Netherlands does now, and considering it's a holiday tomorrow I might even stay up and watch the NBA finals.

Shnaider just gave me a lead in this tie, I have not watched her play much as I barely follow tennis in general and the women's side even less so. I need tennis to go right later tonight and not take the advantage they already gave me away.

Hopefully Netherlands can give me another point as it is one of the other few answers we have different.

Agree with you about the tennis question, i also went with Cobolli because he is Italian and despite they not being the superpower in clay like Spain and Argentina they still are between the best in that surface wo i have no doubt about him beating Auger Aliassime, but well now we need another win from him to reach the final and get a point.

FAA was outsider here for sure. Coboli had 3:0 H2H and they played all three matches on surfaces that suit FAA more than him. Not following Coboli enough to know for sure but I also think he is now much better player than in their first 3 encounters. My pick is Arnaldi since I am really impressed how he covers the field. That one is still far from over but looking solid so far. He was 3:0 down in first set with double break and managed to win it by taking Berrettini serve 3 times. That isn't easy on any surface.

But it is easy to talk when it is over, I have proof I was thinking that before the matches Grin

And for once I can post it since the ticket is played on Rainbet in effort to build my bank there almost from scratch before WC.

Algeria just scored against Netherlands which means Netherlands can no longer win with the cleansheet, I was getting skeptical that they might steal this for my opponent and put the round beyond my reach, but I live to fight another day, although I'm currently trailing by a point and Cobolli's victory also puts me in deeper jeopardy, but it's all still salvageable for my team.

Oh, would you look at that. Algeria is leading 1-0 against Netherlands with only a few minutes left in the game. Unless some miraculous comeback happens, I'll be getting my first lead in this round. Also, it's nice to see so many wrong answers for this question with only me and a few other being right Grin
