Halep has not played well lately.. Her losses in Toronto in Cincinnati were horrible.

Now, whom do I pick? I doubt Sasha Zverev is ready to win a Slam, best of 5, yet. But one never knows.....

And the women, oh goodness! None of them instill much confidence in me, that there is a clear favourite. Oh of course Garbine is being touted as the clear favourite, and although she had a great summer, it's not like she won Stanford, Toronto and Cincy....which would have been super difficult anyway. I really don't know whom to pick out of all the possibilities.

Hi Deelia -

Nice to hear from you. Happy Skanning! :)

go firmly to the window
and listen with deep emotion,
but not with the whining, the pleas of the coward;
listen-your final pleasure-to the voices,
to the exquisite music of that strange procession

First we need some names to go out early...

And I guess that no one is really confident about their own picks, so the risk of getting egg on your face is too big.

I picked two personal faves (Kasatkina and Pouille) and no one else dis, so really an all-or-nothing team. My four others are 'safer' picks (Garbine, Badal,Federer, Svitolina).

Got my complete team into R2, and my risky ATP'er is already in R3 (Pouille)....

WTA-wise, I was doubting between Kontaveit and Kasatkina, and went for Daria.
Good choice as she is into R2, and Annett isn't...
