My picks have been disastrous. Kyrgios and tsonga play next so another one bites the dust.

Edmund, Dimi, Busta and Cilic go through. Only Karlovic failed to progress of the 5 Footman players in action today, and he only lost 9-7 in the 5th

Just realised that since Andy had selected Shapovalov and Mayer, ranked 51 & 52 respectively, his replacement for Krajinovic should have been Cilic (6) rather than Struff (53)

Will amend in the third round update.

well... that was disappointing. Neither Mannarino nor DP progressed. I half expected Mannarino to fall, but I was sure DP would sail through

5 left

With the top two only sharing a pair of players, still all to play for...

I'm expecting to lose Edmund in round 4, I have to lose one of Busta/Cilic, and Dimitrov might be in trouble if the Aussie knobhead brings his A game, so I think you'll be okay, Ian

I suppose I'm hoping for Busta beating Cilic, but that seems like a stretch

wrong... big style. Edmund marches on

Cilic beats Busta and hands the trophy to Ian, I reckon

Dimi comes through to send Mr Petulant2 home and now gets the chance to knock one of his teammates out at the QF stage, so I have 3 through and Fed to wait on

just noticed that Ian has Chung... seems like an inspired pick

and because Thiem lost as well, Chung gets an easier match than Edmund

Back of an envelope calculation:

I think you need Dimitrov or Edmund to reach the final, and Nadal or Chung to lose in the quarters.

Mike, I fear, is rooted to the bottom.

I need too much. Once it gets to these sorts of permutations it's often best to just hold your hands and say well done to the leader
