Please don't be alarmed if you do not see the thread updated when you check in during the day today. I'll be on the road a good part of the day, but will have everything updated by this evening.

And FYI - the women do not play at the US Open on Thursday, it is a rest day as they bring the 1/2s of the draw together for Fridays semis. So if you survive today's pick, you get an extra day to contemplate your final choices.

I don't really have a choice. If Wickmayer actually wins today (how likely is that?) I can only pick Serena and then I'm done.

I just noticed that I am red for not making a day 9 pick, but I did make a pick. It is post #44 on the Day 9 picks thread (I took Clijsters). I also made my Day 10 pick (Oudin), not realizing that I had been put in the red.

Oudin: 6
Bondarenko: 17
Wozniacki: 3

Thanks for the count. So by the end of the day, we'll be down to at most 23 and as few as 14. And either way, probably a few will have no semi-final pick left.

The Bondarenko bandwagon came to a halt.

The thought of being Bondarenko'd so late in a tournament. I feel for you all!

I'm far from perfect, and make the occasional mistake, Michelle. I'll confirm it and correct the redding right now.

From 377 starting last week, we are down to 13 heading to the semis. And we have a couple of them with potential to beat the draw
