Default Roger vs. Hrbaty first round!

Doesn't Roger practice hitting with Hrbaty? This could be a dangerous first round match, if Hrbaty knows some of his secrets

Hrbaty hasnt beaten anyone in 2 years and is now #272. And he got thrashed first round by Seppi at WImbledon last year. Doesnt look very dangerous.

Hope he shows up in that fancy shirt of his. You know, the pink one with the holes in the back?

Of course, Hrbaty's one of the only veterans who's never lost to Federer (2-0)...

Now's the time. He'll probably get rolled in easy 3.

Long time has passed since Hrbaty showed any results.
Probably for him beeing in the main draw and playing first match on center court is already a success.

Unfortunately Hrbaty isn't even close to the kind of player he used to be. This shouldn't be a difficult match for Federer.

As people were saying, this year, when Hrbaty started his come-back, he apparently beat Federer in practice... and Federer doesn't normally lose in practice!

That is completely untrue. I've personally seen Federer lose in a practice match and it's pretty common from what I've heard. But when it's time to play for keeps he lays a beatdown.

Hrbaty is on the end of his career and might be inspired for a set, but he won't bother Roger like many would like, sort of like Phau a few years ago in Melbourne.

Hrbaty unfortunately went in a minor slump then had a serious elbow injury, he was a nice player to watch, hope he can put up a fight against Federer.
