2026 US Open contest (Final Contest!)
The final contest.
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.
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 US Open contest (Final Contest!)
I believe I started playing the Tennis-x contest exactly like this one around 2004 or so, and I have never been as uncertain about what will happen in both draws as I am this time in the very final contest. I have no clue what will happen. If my finalists on the men's side lose in the first round, I will not be shocked.

Re: 2026 US Open contest (Final Contest!)
Bencic and Djokovic are our biggest losers. No points for either of us there.
Botic van de Zandschulp is in the men's quarterfinalists and has the most negative body language of any player that I've ever seen since late career Lindsey Davenport.
Also, I am going to admit that I am surprised that Zverev is getting all the night matches. Yes, he's the first seed and won a slam this year, but I would have thought that they'd try to get Alcaraz there, and he seems to be doing day matches (though probably to allow his matches to be seen in Spain).

Re: 2026 US Open contest (Final Contest!)
With the quarterfinals set, I am a nose ahead of you with 5 Women's quarterfinalists and 4 Men's quarterfinals to your 4 and 4 (I had Andreeva).
We have the same number of potential semifinalists (you have 3 men and 1 woman to my 2 men and 2 women).
