He may have got 12.5% of the vote, but he's out in round 2!

Another really early slam exit for Alex Zverev, dumped out 3-6, 7-5, 7-6, 7-6 by Borna Coric in the upset of the tournament to date.

Zverev really hasn't cracked the slams so far. Apart from his fourth round Wimbledon loss to Raonic, he hasn't made the last 16 anything else so far which is pretty surprising given how he's done in the Masters events this year.

Means the bottom half of the draw is even more wide open. If Cilic can find form, he's got to be looking good for another slam final

I take your point, Sheddie (about the Masters performances, and the possible discrepancy), but Zverev only turned 20 a few months ago, so I don't think the 'hasn't really cracked the slams so far' is all that relevant.

And so, having failed to even find a semi finalist in our combined women's picks we manage the same trick with the men.

Might let the Andy picker off though tempted not to for someone that picked a guy reported to be limping in practice.

Nah, no mercy for the Andy picker.

It's group shame time - we're all useless, completely useless, but at least all in it together

 Of course    And anyway the option was there, it is called "Other".

I like to be specific Indiana, I'm not for lumping a group of players into a particular group as you know
