Yeah, they're both in the final 16 in the winner's bracket, it's official to me that they're real contenders. And Sav is also playing great in the doubles event, the pairing turned out to be pretty good.

Filler and Biado losing was a bit surprising to me. It's nice to see parity in these events, though.

Went to a good Greek restaurant earlier,.and am playing pool at a bar tonight

It's kinda weird but then again, in singles people have to play their own friends and families members all the time
