Brisbane
This one was the big one, being potentially worth almost double what you can get at a 280. So who did the best? Adunar, with 4 QFists, including the Winner. Not the greatest result, but enough for the High Score of 771 points. BHP finished last with 1 SFist and 3 Zeroes for a total of only 243, 528 points behind the winner.
7 Jedi got the Winner, Pliskova, correct, so it was really avoiding the Zeroes that helped the most. Adunar, Edu, Snolly, and TE are the only ones to have no more than 1 Zero, with Ad and Edu being the only 2 of that group with the Winner.
Shenzhen
Yet another tournament with an abundance of Zeroes and 7 Jedi who had the Winner, Sabalenka. This seems pretty standard for the WTA so far.
However, because of the abundance of upsets here, those who had the winner really separated themselves from those who didn't. That was a highly valuable 280 points, considering that the most points acquired from any player not named Sabalenka was only 60. HTS finished with the high score of 371, beating last place TE by 338.
Auckland
Only Arvis, Spotec, and Edu failed to pick the winner, Goerges, here. Adunar got the high score of 510, only 2 match wins away from a PT. Well done, Arnie! That result put him up 397 points over last place Edu. Also, Adunar got High Score on 2 of this week's tourney, including the big 470. Where does that put him in the standings?
