El Dude said:At least he's got an easy first few rounds, with the first threat coming in the 4R with likely either Nishikori or Tomic. His only hope of getting past the QF is if Isner or Monfils upsets Nadal.
Kieran said:I thought his showing in Cincy against Rafa was positive. I don't get the negativity - if he's got to face Rafa, better the qf than later. And if he wins, he gets Ferrer in the semis.
GameSetAndMath said:Roger has only himself to blame for drawing Nadal on QFs repeatedly. He had
a nice draw in French Open (when someone else was seeded five). He did not make
use of that opportunity and reach the Final. If he were able to do that, all of these
would not have happened.

Isnt it an oxymoron to use the word "poor" in regards to Roger Federer:snigger

Come on, can't keep hoping for the draws he got in the early days!

Kieran said:Actually, Rafa has an interesting draw: possible Pospisil, Isner then Fed. That's not an easy one for so early, and yet it could be the best draw for him, to play him in and get his range again...
El Dude said:Gets Rafa in his quarter AGAIN. It almost seems like the draws are rigged!
