Hey guys, we have decided to void tennis question this round. Draper has withdrawn in the meantime and we made a mistake, Fernandez is not playing in Monterey she is actually playing in Cleveland.
Easiest and most fair solution is to just void the question. With that, we have 9 questions this week and LMS safety threshold is lowered to 1, instead of usual 2.
Fair enough, I went with either to win the trophy anyways and to be honest I didn't even check the draws at all or even know if it's an ATP 250 (I expect it to be) or ATP 500, but I know what it means to win a title even being the favorite like Jack Draper or Fernandez, I'd go with neither to win the title any day, anytime.

Well that means less worry about being ousted of LMS this week, except I'm having the shittiest luck
Took me probably 20 minutes to find out who this person called Fernandez is. Is she even considered a favorite and if yes, why? Wimbledon out in second round, Canadian Open out in round of 32 and Cincinnati out in the quarterfinals. I was confused and then I tried to find the draw for Monterrey but couldn't find her!
I didn't know whether this question was going to be valid or not, but my google search for some reason didn't even bring her up. Now I see she has won three WTA titles in the past and was a US Open finalist in 2021. But still she hasn't had any recent successes.
For anyone who can't make the LMS cut this time, that would be pretty painful. But I know what it means to finish a round with a single point!
But guess what, there were 16 participants in round 2 with 0-1 points. If it's one of those days where everything goes against the odds, it could still knock out quite a few LMS participants. The variance is huge though as in round 1 there was nobody with 0-1 points except for those late submitters.
