Federer's cakewalk Wimbledon 2019 draw

[stringertom]

I’ve sweated a lot today at work and needed some sodium chloride replenishment. I knew just where to go and I am not disappoint.

No draw can be really called easy for a 45 year old mental weakling with a chronic back injury.

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

Well said bro. Those clowns that are on Fed's payroll, disgraceful stuff.

So sick of all the crying that Fed and Rafa fans do about easy draws. Every event they enter, it's the same crap. Especially when a major rolls around. Both guys have ate plenty of cake in their careers. Seems like Djokovic fans whine much less(on average) about draws. Humble Nole Class will win Wimbledon.

Cause he is 3rd wheel.

But I thought Cilic was a nobody when Fed played him? Sorry, but if NK, shapo, cilic, Tsonga, and Thiem on grass is a ridiculous draw, then tennis is certainly in bad shape.

Fed faced players like that all the time and they were supposedly weak, right?

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.

Well thank you, someone had to do it!

 

[Lleytonstation]

Well thank you, someone had to do it!

So Fed has an easy draw. Rafa has a hard draw. Djokers is the easiest.

This is a musical chairs game. Welcome to tennis, where we have draws...

 

[Sentinel]

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

LMAO

How do you rate Nadal's marriage "adjusted by difficulty" ?

 

[Sentinel]

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

Just have him neutered.

 

[ghostofMecir]

But any verified statistical measurement is objective and exists. That's basically a tautology. That inherent property doesn't matter much per se when it comes to explanatory power; the fact that Tim Henman reached the SFs of Wimbledon 4 times is objective and exists. Is it therefore relevant? Probably not. So what does make it relevant? What property of the stats actually means anything and indicates or validates a position? Therein lies the problem that the stats need context to achieve anything and reiterating ad nauseum that they are 'cold', 'hard' and 'objective' expands on their explanatory power not one iota.

What an absolute evisceration.

Have you heard of the ATP rankings, kiddo?

When Murray ranked #2 in the world in USO17 despite barely winning a match all year. What a tough opponent he would be there! How was he so dumb to withdraw not even knowing himself would be so tough to beat in NY being ranked and seeded #2

 

[The Shape-shifter]

And yes, Cilic as a 4th opponent is much tougher than as a finalist before you guys use the Wimbledon 2017 card.

In Wimbledon 2017, Fed faced 3 consistent Wimbledon quarterfinalists/semifinalists, and another former semifinalist, including the 2016 runner-up: Raonic at that time is tougher than Kyrgios/Shapovalov/washed-up Tsonga/claycourter Thiem combined, amd on par with 2019 Cilic.

 

[Rosstour]

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.

Only because Federer could not play himself

Anyway, to the draw...Coric-Isner-Nadal is no cakewalk.

Only because Federer could not play himself

Anyway, to the draw...Coric-Isner-Nadal is no cakewalk.

Coric is injured might pull out, Isner has fractured foot, didn't played since Miami, and let's see if Nadal can reach the SF first, with the draw he has. Fedr draw is a joke.

[Paulreedsmith]

Coric is out

 

[Nadal_Django]

Coric is out

Of course he's out. He was seriously injured before the draw was made. No wonder he was in Fedr section of the draw.

He saw that he was in Fed's section of the draw so he withdrew.

 

[augustobt]

He saw that he was in Fed's section of the draw so he withdrew.

Rafans won't be to critical of that, I'm sure.

 

[GOATzilla]

Just LMFAO @ this challenger level quarter for Federer. Perfect draw orchestration.

The only question is will they let him count these wins as slams when they demote Wimbledoom to an optional masters a few years from now
