Fish just pulled out.
Either that, or the OP has excellent foresight.
Could have a negative effect on Roger to not have played in 4 days.
If a guy pulls out, they should have to make an alternate in place.. A guy shouldn't just get to SKIP a round completely.. Not when theres only a handful of rouds
Fed will be fresh as a daisy..
Ignore him. He's another Weak Era Troll - just hates seeing Roger eclipse everything his idols did. Why would tennis change the rules? It happens so infrequently.The only option would be the person that was defeated by the person that pulls out, but why should he proceed to the next round when he was eliminated fair and square?
Federer in 3 or 4 at most. Federer looks in form and an in form Federer has never lost to Berdych that I saw.

It's a shame Nadal isn't playing US Open 2012, it would have been fun to see Federer try to go through Berdych, Nadal and Djokovic. (Not that he would have got past Nadal in the semi-final anyway, since Nadal doesn't lose to Federer in slams.)

He said an in form fed and he was pretty bad back in 2010 wimbledon (2009 fed won the title) berdych has won another 3 times i think, so i still think he has a chance.
good catch. he took at arod in 2009. what was wrong in 2010?
Who was on the other side of the net of Federer in the 06,07 Wimbledon finals?
And what about Wimbledon 2008, and Australian Open 2009 and 2012, and Roland Garros 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011?

Federer never beats Nadal, except when he does.But that doesn't count because Nadal was injured those ten times.
+1. AKA Nadal_Slam_King - and others.Really everyone, just ignore 6-1 6-3 6-0.

Anyway, this is a pretty dangerous encounter for Fed and I expect a 35% chance of upset. Overall going to go with Fed in 4 with the 4th set going to a tiebreak.

I wonder at times if this is some 6th grade school assignment for him/her.
I think NSK and 6-1 6-3 6-0 are different, 6-1 6-3 6-0 seems more like a kid than NSK. However, it could be that NSK has split personality.
Not an ideal situation for Federer. Not playing today may break his tournament rhythm and Berdych is dangerous. Expecting five sets if ******** shows up. Will win nevertheless.
Agree somewhat. NSK would at least try to justify his posts with some intelligence unlike 6-1 6-3 6-0.
They do post the same pointless stats mind you.
Realistically unless there was rain on Sunday he at best was going to be thrashed by Djokovic on the final.
So Nadal always beats Federer in slams.....nooooooo! Yes Nadal won majority of the encounters.....but it not like Federer hasn't won any of them. I know it was 5 years ago.....but it not like Nadal was a chump back then!
