All righty. Half of you are about to learn your U. S. Open Women’s Singles Player!!
The rest of you are still on slips of paper sitting quietly in our Impartial Best Thing Ever Blog Game Bowls and will be assigned as soon as the matches have been played that dwindle those players down to eight.
So, MB and I randomly drew these from our aforementioned bowls with drumroll sound effects and The Simpsons playing in the background, to add to the general solemnity of the occasion. I’ve added links to some info/photos of the players so you can learn a bit about yours, if you like. Oh, and may I say that some of you are verrry pretty ponies? (Mazeltov, Baseball! And also Gene Wilder! Finally!)
The Women’s draw is really exciting and unpredictable this year. Any of you could win this — that includes those of you still sitting quietly in my bowl.
So hang on!

See you on the court, peeps.
SCORE! We, ‘NSYNC, have already won one major this year. Might as well win this one too. WOOHOO!
Did I say major? Ack. I meant grand slam.
Hahahaha! Is *NSYNC getting a big head here? 😉 Watch out, everyone. I hear they talk smack.
My player is named after a brand of olive oil. This bodes ill.
