now that Serena is not dominant anymore, these women's majors are very interesting...literally 15-20 different women could win and makes these contests fun!

I had Osaka going to the final I think...bad choice as she has not really been playing well for awhile.

Lol, nice call! When I first saw this was like wtf, I don't think the match hasn't happened yet! And in fact it hadn't, you just made a very impressive guess as to the overall result! So tell us now: who is going to win this thing??

Far too easy to second guess yourself after the fact. Had she won/made the final, everyone would have then been saying that those who doubted her were over emphasizing her recent minor slump, not giving her enough credit for winning two majors in a row.
Perhaps the only real conclusion that anyone can draw about women's tennis, at least based on recent majors, is that there is only one thing you can really be sure of: and that's that there is nothing you can be sure of!
Ummm, what in the utter h happened here? I won this contest last time!!

Yeah, Seriously Shari! I saw your score so far and thought that was a typo! I’m not doing much better, I think I’ve picked one upset, and that was the teen phenom Coco to beat Venus.

Lol I'm in second right now? Once Pliskova (who I picked to win it all) went out, I gave up on this, figured focus rooting energy on men's bracket where most of my top picks were still in! Even though I don't think I can win it all, I guess I still have a real chance to finish in the money so that's something!
I suppose this is a case where although nearly all my picks are out, pretty much everyone else in the contest is in the same boat with almost all of the top seeds out - in essence maybe I'm just sucking a bit less than all others which is why I'm at where I am! But hey whatever works!

I have a chance at a top 3 finish if Serena plays and beats Halep for the title. The fact that I’m even in the top 10 is amazing since I know very little about tennis and didn’t pick too many underdogs.

Anyone wants to get on the Serena train? I'm giving a great price for the Semifinal match vs Strycova
Ok, if Serena wins, I get 10th, if Halep wins I get 3rd. Glad I will at least cash - that's a start! Now to rectify the problem of continuing to be at the top (or very close to it) in the middle part of the contest rather than at the end...

Congrats on your win bro. I can't believe I finished second and could have finished first if Serena pulled it off. I'll settle for second though not too shabby for a guy who doesn't know much about tennis.

3rd place! First time I think I've cashed in the women's bracket - sure will take that, especially since I didn't pick the winner and it's pretty hard to finish that near the top without doing so. Hope I can keep this up, eventually will win one of these too!
