2026 Wimbledon Contest

The penultimate contest.  If you're wondering why, see: https://tennistalk.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=125

1. Pick quarterfinalists, semifinalists and champions for both men's and women's 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 will get 5 points if your seed is the highest to lose and 2 points if your seed falls in the same round as the highest seed to lose.

4. SERENA'S BACK: Pick the round that Serena makes it to.  If you guess correctly, that's an extra 5 points.

Picks must be posted before the start of play or soon afterward or at least before the trophy presentations at the end of the tournament.

Re: 2026 Wimbledon Contest

Forgot to take out my choices for the ladies sub.  Went with Osaka (replacing Sabalenka) over Krejcikova (replacing Andreeva).  Maybe Osaka's playing well enough?  I'm going to regret reading too much into her at least making a final at a grass court warmup.

Re: 2026 Wimbledon Contest

I'm going to pat myself on the back for causing Ben Shelton to crumble under the pressure of being Forehand_lob's pick to win it all.

Serena's out in round 1!  Maybe she'll continue to get a few wildcards up through the US Open, but if she doesn't make it to as least a QF in any of them, I think she'll go quietly back into retirement.
