Federer's draw at Wimbledon...

is quite ridiculous.

He has to play Dimitrov today in the 4th round, the same Dimitrov that Nadal beat in 5 sets in the semi-finals of the Australian open.

If he gets past Dimitrov, he will most likely have to face Raonic in the Quarters. The same Raonic that he lost to in the Semis of Wimbledon last year.

Meanwhile, the gluten-free king is playing someone named Mannarino. Bum picker steroid king is playing Gilles Muller, and the Scottish blowhard is playing Benoit Paire.

For Federer to win Wimbledon at the age of 35, he will have to beat Dimitrov today, then most likely Raonic, Djokovic, and then possibly Nadal in the finals. Lovely draw for the #3 seed.

Beating Dmitrov the Federer wannabe is the easy part.

Raonic and Nadal tiring themselves out with five setters. It's looking good for Federer.

lol
It's worked out well for Murray. Querrey Muller and Cilic.

Federer has raonic Djokovic and berdych in his half.

Now that Nadal is out, I'm not as worried. Still a shit draw though. smile big grin

I mean Nadal had to beat Dimitrov in the Semis of the Aussie Open and Fed had play him in the 4th round yesterday. It's not as though Fed is ranked between 5-10, he's seeded #3.

Djoker was unimpressive. Nursing elbow/shoulder injury allegedly. Murray vs Federer final I predict

That's the way I see it too.

Well if that's the final, do I even need to watch?

I'll call Federer in straight sets if they do in fact meet in the final.

How Djoker plays against Berdych will reveal a lot. Of course Federer has a tricky customer in Raonic.

Don't be so cocky lad. Don't count out Murray

I am far more worried about Federer playing Raonic than playing Murray. There are 10 players I can find that I wouldn't want Federer to play. Murray isn't one of them.

Well, Federer beats Raonic in straight sets, and with Murray and Djokovic going out, the draw couldn't pan out better for the old man!
cool

Mi fraid Cilic, but Federer better not look past Berdych. He'll have to go through three big servers and big hitters to win this thing.

Raonic, done and dusted. Next up Berdych, and then most likely Cilic.
