I was surprised to see that only three of us had Thiem. And now he's a first round casualty.

Pass the gruel ...
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

I didn't do my homework on Thiem and grass. Three 1st-round exits in 6 events. Serves me right.

My team survived the first week with 4 players. Why do I stay away with my darling Halep? :) :)

I see no one took Nishikori, who is having a very successful tournament. This leads me to wonder of the 7th ranked player is "caught in the SKAN cracks", so to speak. If you opt for two of the top three players, then you have to go past #7 to complete a qualifying team.

I wonder if the data over time reveals that the 7th ranked player is disproportionately not picked as a general outcome.
