Thanks a bunch for this. Couldn't see the livestream at work.

This will be a repeat of 2015 but the only difference is Djoker will win the final against a 1HBH player. I was hoping Nadal does not draw Djoko in the QF but todays draw has intensified my 2015 PTSD

Wait, Djoker, Nadal, Zverez, and Alcaraz are in the same half? :oops::oops:

Nadal might actually have a better shot against Djoker in the QFs - since he'll have one or two less matches under his belt compared to playing him in SFs and final - though as we've talked about, it's not necessarily about endurance, but day-to-day pain.

Works out good for Alcaraz in that he doesn't have to go through Djoker AND NADAL.

Nor does Zverev. He's a wild card. No he generally can't keep it together mentally for an entire Slam, but he has the game to upset any of the players if he has a good day in the head department.

Tsitsipas must be pleased.

Draw difficulty:

Djokovic - 9/10. Drew the hardest opponents, but not in the worst way possible. A night match guaranteed against Nadal and Alcaraz, which should suit him, with Tsitsipas (who he just beat) in the final. Also needs to face Schwartzman who could be terrible or great. R1-R3 not hard unless Brooksby becomes unbeatable.

Alcaraz - 3/10. About what he would've been hoping for. Drew Zverev, the 2nd easiest 1-4 seed, and gets to face the winner of Nadal/Djokovic, which is better because then he can examine how to face them. Only one way to get easier:

Tsitsipas - 1/10. Musetti/Evans/Shapo could all be dangerous, but I sincerely doubt it. I think Tsitsipas makes it to week 2. And there he faces the easiest 5-8 seed, then easiest 1-4 seed, before the final. Powderpuff draw.

Nadal - 10/10. Same as Djokovic, except has FAA/Opelka plus a Wawrinka that could do something if he's not careful. On top of that, he'd face Djokovic and Alcaraz in night conditions, which he dislikes.

Agreed, but let's just wait and see. These tough draws sometimes fall apart quickly.

I knew it - Novak, Nadal, Alcaraz in the same half

If Carlitos wants to announce himself this is the perfect opportunity. And also if Tsitsipas doesn't reach the Final again he should retire lol.

Is it 100% confirmed Novak’s QF and SF matches would be at night? Not sure how the system works

Well if TsiTsi ever wants to win a Slam this is his golden chance. My god. I actually think the worst part of the Nadal draw is Alcaraz in the SF. I'd rather him play Novak in the QF. Rafa will be fresher (presumably). But I'd rather face Alcaraz in the F, where he isn't quite accustomed to the pressure.

At any rate, who ever gets through the Novak half? Man. They will be exhausted in the final.

Of course, the organizers are Djokovic fanboys, so they will make sure to put the match as late as possible. This is all fixed.

Yes, that's why they put Nadal and Alcaraz in his path - because they're fanboys.

More reasonable solution for fanboys of Djokovic would be to put Nadal in Medvedev's quarter, Alcaraz in Tsitsipas'. Then the winner of those quarters still need to fight before the Djokovic F. Don't be salty that the draw didn't pan out for Nadal by claiming it's great for Djokovic. It isn't.

It could be a blessing in disguise. With his foot issue, he may have a better chance beating Djoko in the QF than in the F. His foot issue may get worse as the tournament progresses. Who knows...
If Nadal beats Djoko, I don't care if he doesn't have enough left in him to win the whole thing.

Literally i am gonna watch only the top half matches, absolutely garbage draw. 0 reason to watch the lower half. Is that all random, lol?

I don’t think Nadal and Djokovic have a particularly difficult R1-4. I mean if they can’t beat such opponents they have no business winning this tournament. On paper, Tsitsipas has the easiest path, but all his opponents are stubborn fighters and are known to create upsets. I still think one of Nadal/Djokovic is definitely a big favourite, whoever wins that delicious QF.

Man idk how Tsitsipas doesn’t become a top 3 favorite after this draw. He has no one threatening on his side and if he played even only as well as he has this clay season he should be REALLY fresh for the final

Tsitsipas' chances have skyrocketed, I already have him with one foot in the final with this draw.

What is up with Tsitsipas getting the easiest draw?

Why oh why does Carlitos have both Nadal and Djokovic in his half? He can do it, of course, he just did in Madrid, but why? At least he would only have to play one of the big two and not both of them!

I think if Alcaraz makes it past Korda he has a good chance for the final. I think he can take out Zverev and I think Djokovic/Nadal will tire themselves out in the QF, making the SF easier for him

and then he gets tsitsipas which I think he can win

Could be an Alcaraz FO22 win

This was a good draw for him imo. Only has to face one and not in the Final. Not sure what more you could have asked for realistically.

Oh yeah, the usual stuff from Djokovic fans: that an injured Nadal who is being destroyed by Alcaraz and Shapovalov on clay is somehow peak Nadal. Yeah, such a nightmare opponent for Djokovic. Just like in 2015 we are going to hear it was peak Nadal and that Djokovic has some hell of a draw, even though he'll win this match (if it happens) in easy straight sets.

Truth is, this is the easiest possible 1/4 final for Djokovic, just like it was in 2015. Even Zverev and Tsitsipas would be more dangerous for him at this point, leave alone Alcaraz. But no, he got the easiest possible 1/4, a heavy declined injured Nadal.

I have a hunch Alcaraz fans will be disappointed.

Nadal gets the easiest draw, a full tank of energy for the Djokovic encounter, as opposed to if they met in the SF or Final, especially since Wawrinka and Fognini are very error-prone so Nadal won't take long on them :alien:

Alcaraz is #9, getting 1 of Nadal/Djok in his half was likely. He avoided them in the QF.

You literally cannot complain.

Zverev and Tsitsipas weren't possible QFs for Djokovic. The alternatives were Rublev and Ruud. Are you REALLY going to sit there and tell me that Nadal on clay is worse than Andrey Rublev? Keep in mind, Rublev lost R2 of MC, QF of Madrid, and R1 in Rome. Rafa, on the other hand, lost QF of Madrid and R2 of Rome, just coming off an injury.

Rublev has bageled Djokovic on clay this year. Yes, at this point even he is more dangerous than Nadal. And stop calling this clay. Night conditions are absolutely perfect for Djokovic, and terrible even for a more healthy Nadal.
