So again out of the big 4 who has it the worst? I'm kind of edging Murray here. His third round prospects are Cilic or Ljubicic, two big serving guys who can kill the ball. Although he is 5-1 against Cilic most of their matches have been tight and I think we all remember that beatdown Cilic gave Murray at the US Open not too long ago. Ljubicic might be even more dangerous, the guy is hit or miss, but Murray has always struggled against him and Ljubicic serves huge and can hit some damn good volleys if necessary. Though Ljubicic has never gone past round 3 at wimby but it's all about matchups.
Then looking to round 4 it is most likely going to be either Gasquet or Stan..two more players who Murray is probably not happy to see. Stan took Murray to five back in 09 here and wore him down and then last year took him out in the US Open. Gasquet has a reputation for choking against Murray but it is good to note his only two wins have come from when Gasquet all ready had two sets in the bank not something anyone wants too look forward to going into the QFs.
His QF could be any of Roddick, Lopez, Karolvic, Monfils, Janko etc. It's a seemingly wide open section but a handful of troublesome guys. If Karolvic serves well he can cruise through and then although Murray is undefeated against him he can expect a lot of work. I think all can recall what Roddick did to him back in 2009. He did just dismantle him a week ago, but if Murray gets passive and Roddick's serve gets rolling things get ugly. Feliciano Lopez just another big serving guy with a good grass game. Monfils and Janko might not get it going but the prospects are deadly.
Now cue in Nadal as a SF or Berdych or the off chance one of Raonic or Del Potro get rolling and then of course the final things look rough...
Fed can basically sleep until his QF with most likely Tsonga (unless Isner v Mahut isn't a magical marathon) a fourth round prospect with Isner could be a bit tough but Fed likes big servers.
Djokovic has Baggy...and then Llodra? Not sure where he really has to worry Soderling poses a threat, but then Djokovic's grass game is a bit shaky, but with his draw he has no excuse for not getting to at least the QF.
Nadal looks good until either Raonic/Haas and then is clear until Berdych who he kind of dismantled last year so he should be good as well..
Let the war begin
