Federer's cakewalk Wimbledon 2019 draw

[Sephiroth]

I seem to remember all the Federer fans targeting Nadal for his FO 2019 draw, time to bring some balance to this forum because it's hilarious there's no threads made about Federer's draw. But it's okay, I'll be that guy to bring the balance.

Let's look at the comparison between Nadal's and Federer's draws. Bolded players are stronger players per round.

Nadal:

1R . Sugita
2R. Kyrgios
3R. Tsonga
4R. Cilic / Shapovalov
QF. Thiem
SF. Federer
F. Djokovic

Federer:

1R. Harris
2R. Clarke
3R. Bublik
4R. Coric
QF. Isner / Nishikori
SF. Nadal
F. Djokovic

Up until the SF and that's even if Nadal gets through his draw, absolute walk in the park.

I can't wait to hear how Clarke, Bublik, Coric, Isner are stronger than Kyrgios, Tsonga, Cilic, Thiem. And yes, Cilic as a 4th opponent is much tougher than as a finalist before you guys use the Wimbledon 2017 card.

Once again, there is no such thing as a difficult FO draw for Rafa. He would have gone through a hand picked draw of the toughest players like a hot knife through butter.

Why are you talking about the French open?

Nadal fan's complaining about easy draws, that's cute.

Did you read the op, kiddo?

 

[KINGROGER]

Fantastic. Hope he wins the whole thing with his toughest opponent being Coric.

But Fred is the moral winner of RG this year, no?
Would’ve trash Nadal in 3 if not the wind, no?

I lost 15 or more majors because of injury, no ??

Finally some progress towards parity and it's seen as a travesty.

No chance. I predicted 3-1 Nadal win against Federer in perfect conditions.

It's a nice draw.

If I'm honest, I would've loved something similar for Nadal, but no matter.

All these guys get some good draws along the way. Federer's turn this time.

@Lleytonstation was spot-on, he predicted that the Nadal vs Federer SF was a sure thing

Whatever. Half of the oponents of Kneestrong will fall injured/ill and the other half will retire/withdraw. I bet my house.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Yessssss

For once Fed gets the gift and Nadal gets the tough one. Just once. It's all I wanted

Literally nobody thinks that

 

[Lleytonstation]

Fed RG draw not too different then Rafa's here, only difference is round 2.

Imagine thinking this means anything

Posting stuff like this as objective facts is a real VB specialty

 

[skip1969]

Whining about the other guy's draw . . . a TTW tradition.

A tired, tedious and dull TTW tradition.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

My cat just bit me I think he’s mad about Feds easy draw

Why does an objective statistical measure upset you so?

Yum

It might, if it was one. Oh how you wish it were so

I mean, it is a statistical measure, it is objective, and it exists. You need to have a healthier approach to life, facts do not care about your feelings.

Incorrect.

 

[Chronos]

Draw does not matter actually if he meets DJoker in the final.There is no way Fed winning against him.He could not done it 2014 and 2015.He can't do it now.Actually i don't think even if he can win against Nadal in the SF.Chances are slim for Fed.He needs other 2 to be eliminated in order to have the 9th title IMHO.

 

[SeeItHitIt]

Reminds me of Rafa draw for anything on dirt.

 

[AceSalvo]

Good to see feathers ruffled. Can't wait for this whole thing to get started.

I don't know who you are, but I am glad to see you know who I am

Suffer, baby, suffer!

Benefits of being the #2! I ain't complaining.

Let's be honest, no draw is a cakewalk for Fed at this stage of his career.

 

[Bartelby]

Nadal should just cancel Wimbledon and marry his long-suffering wench.

Fedal XL incoming.

Nadal/Kyrgios YES!

Federer got Nishikori

Irrelevant stat on grass. What is the grass stats on this? Then we can talk.

I mean, I'm not posting this to prop up Rafa's Wimbledon chances, just to point out that Roger trails Rafa in slams when adjusted by difficulty.

 

[Pheasant]

2017 Fed would have destroyed Nadal’s draw. I.e, these draws aren’t nearly as important to Fed on grass, if Fed is in form. If Fed plays at his 2017 level, these draws wouldn’t matter to him.

Kyrgios is a bad matchup for Nadal on fast surfaces. That is where Nadal got royally screwed over. Nadal gets a coin flip match in the 2nd round. Shapo and Thiem haven’t done crap at Wimbledon. I’d be far more worried playing guys like Edmund or Tsitsipas. Cilic could be dangerous. But his form has sucked lately.

I think that if Nadal gets by Kyrgios, then he will be in the semis.

 

[NastyWinners]

Yeah, that stat doesn't matter if it doesn't count moral slams.

Okay. This stat does benefit from being boosted by clay considering he usually went through a big 3 every time, but I won't knock him for being good on clay, it's a huge part of tennis.

 

[290Pistol]

Got to protect the overrated Swissy's Slam record don't we W organizers? How much money does Fed pay these clowns under the table every year to rig it for him is what I would like to do. He gets a cakewalk most years

I WOULD boycott this event if I was Nadal. The blatant favoritism and backwards seeding it obvious to anyone that sees it. The organizers are bribed

[KINGROGER]

INcorrect.

What objective stat does that website use to measure difficulty?

For example, does Federer 2008 RG F count as a difficult opponent? Despite actually playing poorly and being rolled over.
