This is a baseless conspiracy thread. I'll get that out the way to start.
I'm rating the difficulty of the draws of the top 8 seeds, before their quarter final matches. The top 8 seeds could all potentially have any of these draws before the quarter finals. I have put them in order of difficulty, hardest at the top.
.
Anderson, world rank 8. Potential match against Gilles Muller in round 3, Querrey Round 4. Two of the worst opponents to meet early on at Wimbledon.
Thiem, world rank 7. The unpredictable Nando in round 3, (3-0 H2H vs Thiem) Djokovic round 4. Not a draw anyone would want. Normally i'd rate this as harder than Andersons draw, but with Djokovics questionable form and Nando prone to being a fiasco, i'll rate it as marginally easier.
Dimitrov, world rank 6. Stan round 1, the upcoming Tsitsipas round 3, Isner round 4. Stan shouldn't be a problem, his name is much bigger than his ability on grass. But Tsit and Isner are both dangerous opponents.
Del Potro, world rank 5. Half fit Murray/Shapo round 3, Goffin round 4. Murrays not in top shape and Shapo hasn't been playing well recently. But they still both have potential to beat Del Po. Goffin can also trouble Del Po despite not really being a grass courter.
Cilic, World rank 3. No dangerous opponents until round 4 when he would face Raonic, the best servebot in the draw. If he's fit, that's a challenging 4th round draw for the number 3 seed.
A. Zverev, world rank 4. A potential rematch against Dzumhur in round 3!! On paper this is an easy Zverev win that hopefully won't go five sets again. Kyrgios in round 4 is obviously a potential danger. However you don't know if he'll turn up and no one else in this section looks dangerous. Zverev should be fairly happy with this draw.
Federer, world rank 2. A safe looking draw in Mayer and Coric, the latters win at Halle will have little relevance. A good draw for Federer, though not quite the easiest possible draw.
Nadal, world rank 1. Has one of the easiest possible draws in Cecchinato and Schwartzman. Between them they've won a combined two career grass court matches (both by Cecc in this years Eastbourne.) Most potentially dangerous opponent in this section is M. Zverev
Clearly there's a huge conspiracy here, as the higher ranked players are being blessed with easier draws. Did anyone seriously think Djokovic or Murray would be drawn against Fedal before the quarters?? Did anyone really think Nadal would face Muller and Querrey before the quarters?? That would not be a good idea, so best dump them in the same section as Anderson. No one's gonna cry if Anderson loses early are they.
Talk conspiracies here.
