Medvedev and Keys were our biggest losers, so no points for either of us.
Currently, you are in the lead with 9 correct quarter finalists to my 7. We were pretty good for the men, with only FAA and Lehecka not picked. For the women, however, we weren't as good, missing Vondrousova, Krejcikova, Muchova, Osaka, and Anisimova.
I also have to say that Osaka's deconstruction of Gauff was a bit painful to watch. Gauff was made to feel uncomfortable, and she was never able to get anything going.

I am not going to be tricked into doing my usual pick of Zverev over Fritz only to be reminded again and again that Fritz has Zverev's number. Maybe if these players stopped returning fifteen feet behind the baseline, they'd do better.

Standard rules for this. Thankfully Wimbledon has only recently given up the middle Sunday, so the idea that they'll start on a Sunday must be decades away.
1. Pick quarterfinalists, semifinalists and champions for both ATP and WTA draws. You will receive 7.5 points for each correct quarterfinalist, 5 points for each correct semifinalist and 20 points for each correct champion.
2. SUBSTITUTE PICK: Pick a player from each draw to replace one of your quarterfinalists. If this player makes the quarters, they will take the place of whomever you picked in that section of the draw.
3. BIGGEST LOSER: pick the highest seed that will lose in the earliest round from each draw. The player must be a top-16 seed. You get 5 points if your seed is the highest to lost and 2 points if your seed falls in the same round as the highest seed to lose.
Picks must be posted by the time play begins or soon afterwards.
