I've decided to come up with a little competition where we try to pick the future stars of tennis. This one is for WTA, there is also another thread for ATP. Despite the wall of text it's pretty straightforward.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS (selection process):
* You get two picks per year and you can make these whenever you like in 2019. At the beginning of 2020 (we will go by UKT), you get another two picks (you can make these picks whenever you like during the year), another two for 2021 etc. After a few years you will have hopefully built up quite the stable.
* You can pick any player born 2002 or later with the exception of Coco Gauff since everyone has already predicted her to be the next big thing.
* You can make your two picks at the same time or one at a time.
* If another contestant has already picked a player, no-one else can pick this player.
* You can not change picks.
* You can not save picks to the next year.
* Born 2002 or later will always apply so if there's some late bloomer born in 2002 that is developing in x amount of years from now, you can still choose them at the time regardless of age.
There's no deadline for this, you can join in whenever you like.
BUT HOW DO WE GET POINTS?
Here's how the scoring works. Points will be awarded for ranking success and title success.
Ranking: If your player go on to become a top 20 player, you earn 1 point. If your player becomes a top 10 player, you earn another 1 pt (so 2 pts), if your player becomes top 5 you earn another 1 pt (so 3 pts) and if your player goes on to become world number one you earn another 1 pt (so 4 pts).
Titles: If your player wins a main draw tour title, you earn 1 pt.
If your player reaches a Grand Slam final, you earn 1.5 pts. If your player wins a Grand Slam, you earn another 1 pt (so 2.5 pts). If your player wins three or more Grand Slams, you earn another 1,5 points (so 4 pts).
This means the total number of points won for a pick can be 9 points, 4 from ranking success and 5 from title success. You can not get points for things that have already happened. (So let's say you pick some late bloomer who just won his/her first main tour title, you will not get a point for that, but will get points for whatever achievements your player accomplishes later).
I will try to keep the thread updated with picks and scores so it's easy to know which players have already been picked. First contestant to 15 points wins the competition.
Good luck. You can make pick(s) for 2019 now if you want or you can scout and wait til later. Just do them before the year is over. Make the picks in this thread. If you have questions, just ask here.

Obviously it's within your original rules to do something like this but the contestants over the last four years have clearly been making picks based on skill and judgement. Picking an player already established on the tour on the basis that she is in a bleep bleep bleep WTA final is nothing to do with skill and judgement. It's some kind of fastest-finger-first thing. You nearly did this with Timofeeva last year but held back, possibly sensing there might be a reaction.
Rather than go on about it I'll just run a parallel alternative table, still first to 15, of players picked on the basis of predicting what they could achieve (rather than fastest-fingers-first when they get to a final etc).

Does SaMeBe get two more picks for that alternate table then this year? Sounds complicated.
I think it's perfectly fine. If he ends up beating us, which he won't, we'll just put a mahoosive asterisk next to his victory.

You can asterisk all you want, a win is a win! 
Me not going with Timofeeva had nothing to do with reactions, but I felt that Timofeeva had a high ceiling of 1 pt and was not worth to waste a pick on at the time (this might prove wrong, because she did well in Melbourne) whereas I think Diana could potentially gain more than that. Plus 1 pt can be important at this stage of the game. This competition is about getting to 15 pts. Which strategy to use to get there is up to each contestant.

Comp 2 needs to have a mechanism that lets you protect a number of existing flags.
SamuelMertensBertens • February 11, 2024 4:09 PM GMT
I have actually thought about this. There is a possiblity that there will be something like this, but no decision yet. If so it's likely to be very limited, details will be presented at some point, but for now all the information I can give is there MAY be some sort of (likely very limited) flag protection for future comps so this can be taken into account when placing picks for this current one.

Laura Samsonova decided she doesn't want to be confused with the other Samsonova, and take advantage of Czech laws from a few years ago that enables women to scratch the ova, so she now goes by Laura Samsonhttps://www.itftennis.com/en/players/laura-samson/800578274/cze/jt/s/o... my flag from January 1 this year to avoid any confusion.
This is quite funny. The Czechs add ova to foreign players and now one of their own got rid of its ova.

Linda N wins Monterrey so when she moves into the top 20 I'll be on 5.5, one behind edy and two behind Caramba's real total. 
Just noting this as we're all about to be somewhat distracted by the US Open.

Maybe, but 2025 will be the year of Jamrichova breaks through.
Yes.
I would also like to leave a complaint that the entire competition is rigged against me by not awarding points for the WTA Finals.

You should be happy that points from WTA Who Is Less Burned Out? is awarded for ranking purposes.
Is it too late to submit my official complaint about the competition being completely and thoroughly and despicably rigged against me by not awarding points for olympic singles gold medals?
yeah, just like it's too late for me to complain about there not being any consolation points for players choking in finals and semifinals (Korneeva, Gadecki, Medjedovic)
But at least the Olympic points oversight will most likely be adjusted for flag comp #2

C'mon, it's not even been half a year.
You better hope CAS doesn't feel responsible for overseeing this competition after I file my complaint with them.

Having rechecked my dodgy maths this competition could be over in a matter of weeks! 
Diana Schneider, the already well fancied and tour established player that you picked two hours before she played her first WTA final (while the rest of the field were picking hipsters and juniors) is just outside the top ten. Having won four WTA events in 2024 she's being touted as a contender to be a breakthrough semi finalist or better at the Australian Open.
If she reached the final it would give you 1.5 points for slam finalist, 1 point for top ten. If she actually won she gets another point for the win and that would take her into or just outside the top 5, total 4.5 points taking her tally to 6.5. That gets you to 15.
Flag comp 2 could be underway before the snow melts.

This is why I've been making preparations for flag comp 2 so this can be up and running fairly soon after flag comp 1 is done :) Mirra and/or Diana would do something big anyday. But they could also stall for a few years and give you and edy a chance to catch up.
I am quite busy over the next months so I don't know when I will post the rules for flag comp 2, there will be some small changes, but the basic concept is the one. And should I see that flag comp 1 is nearing the end, I will hurry up ad get it posted. The big one I wanted to get out there was the picks protection so you can make your picks accordingly with this in mind.
None of the small changes should make any difference to your choices anyway, unless you want to pick a Chinese player because Olympic medals will likely gain points in the future with the thinking that millions of young Chinese players will be motivated to win Olympic gold just like Qinwen Zheng.

If Victorian lawmakers found out about this thread, they'd put me behind bars.
very good pick. she's been doing so well in Abu Dhabi qualies and now main draw after winning AO juniors. plays Ons today which should be really insightful
well if no-one else is gonna flag her, I might as well.
Ashlyn Krueger.

I flag Mia Pohánková. hopefully she'll eventually lead me to glory
While the more famous flags have done very well in Dubai this week, one lesser known one has been tearing it up on the ITF circuit lately.

Valentova? This Valentova?

I'm pleased to see that Kristina Dmitruk (once a shoe in for the JM Five until she vanished off the face of the earth for half a year) has resurfaced and has made it to a QF clash in a W75 with the fixed ceiling Hipster queen that edy keeps trying to sell, Tery Valentova.

She has grown on me. It was the USO final against Hui that had put me off. I thought she seemed a bit predictable and inflexible. Also she started to look worryingly like when she hit the main tour she'd be an 'always injured' risk. She seems to have more intensity now and she's got the experience of playing with Noskova against main tour players in BJK (where she'll probably be a main staple).
She's not as potentially exciting as Laura but you'd picked Laura. I'm revising her from fixed ceiling Hipster queen to slightly higher fixed ceiling reliable grafter.

I said earlier this week in the main thread, that it was collective poor scouting to have Lois Boisson unflagged.
Mirra's loss today keeps her out of the top 5 for a little longer. Still has a good chance to get there later in the summer with Jasmine defending Wimbledon final and Jess defending lots in North America.
Just remember that Edy gets a 2.5 point boost on Sunday 29th June when Olivia Rodrigo plays the pyramid stage.
Kostyuk then doing something at Wimbledon could ruin your plans.

Agreed. Olivia Rodrigo carefully navigated the first set against the Prodigy, knocking it out of the park with Brit pandering Colin the Caterpillar references.
The Prodigy came back well in the second set with a storming version of Breathe.
Liv came though in the decider by wheeling out Robert Smith for a storming rendition of Just Like Heaven
2.5 points as you agreed to edy or save yourself a point and do the right thing, disregard the Diana Schnaider points when you picked her when she was in a final.
After six years of this you don't want an astersisked win surely

no Mirra Slam in 2025, which most likely was what was needed for this to be decided in 2025. Still an outside shot that some of my other flags reach 3 pts over the next 3 months, but very unlikely. Comp going into 2026 would mean protected flags for flag comp 2 can only be born 2008 or later, meaning no Mirra, Valentova, Jovic, Jamrichova etc (all born 2007).
Can't really trust dates of birth for people born in the USA, especially in the southern states. They are not precise and thorough at registering and keeping track of such things.

I would love to give you your 2.5 points for this. However due to the fact that Olivia is American, to uphold the integrity of this competition, I have to take the tough decision to decline this request.

She might win Sao Paulo so could be a good strategy.

Still very unlikely this gets wrapped up this year and allows picks from year 2007 to be protected. I would need something like a big run in Asia from Jovic and Shnaider for this to happen. If this goes into next year I am being chased by the likes of Eala, Mboko, Valentova ...
Emiliana cried during her speech and said nice words about Iva so she started crying a bit too.

So it's now confirmed this comp won't be decided this year. If it were to be decided in 2026, that would mean that for Flag comp #2 one protected pick of players born 2008 and later can be used and all other picks would be players born 2009 and later.
The first few months of 2026 could have been a really dramatic crescendo in this epic bunfight.
With Mboko, Noskova and LAF pushing hard towards the top 10 and Valentova looking like the real deal I could have had a real charge.
Caramba's ongoing refusal to put back the Schnaider points that BOTH his main rivals objected to (plus not adding points for anyone but himself, Vicky went top 20 two months ago) has dampened my enthusiasm for making serious (ie not established on the tour) picks
Instead of going on about it (especially without edy to back me up now) I'll just make two picks that give me the best chance in the circumstances. I don't really care about any of Joint, JBM or Lys (who N88 should have picked years ago) but they're all obviously going to go top 20 imminently so I'll roll a die to decide. 1 or 2 is Joint, 3 or 4 is JBM, 5 or 6 is Lys.
I've rolled a 5 then a 4. So
Pick 1 Eva Lys
Pick 2 Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro
Pity it ends like this. It was fun for a while.

Maya Joint looks in good form and will get enough from the Oz swing to go top 20
It doesn't make sense for you not to pick her and take the free point (the same with my silly Lys and JBM picks above)
There's no skill involved though, the same as picking Schnaider 20 minutes before she won a WTA title
However I'm aware I'm now just moaning on this thread so this will be my last post on either thread and I'll end on a positive thought
The format under its current rules doesn't work because contestants can just hijack it a few years in by making free point grabbing picks (which you did with Schnaider) but the experiment was interesting and the point values seemed about right. In particular the 1.5 points for reaching a slam final was well thought out. There's the makings of a good format contest if the rules were stricter and flags had to be picked before they became established. For example the rule could be no picks once a player plays a main draw match on the main tour which would still allow someone to pick a player that looked exciting in qualies. If there was something like that I would get involved in the future although the other issue is that the phorum seems to be fading away!
Thanks for running it anyway. It was an interesting experiment

It makes all the sense for me to not pick Maya Joint, for now anyway, as I have enough faith in my current roster to get me over the line and I want to make picks I can protect for flag comp 2. This however may not happen given the state of the phorum and the low interest for competitions.

On Thursday it's up to Marta Kostyuk to keep this competition alive by securing 2.5 points for herself and preventing Mirra Andreeva from making her first Slam final and clinching the comp for me.
and that might not even help with Shnaider also having a great shot at making the final.
Victory is mine!
