LOL what's it got to do with Nadal who's not even playing? Fed's playing and still against Djoker his chance = 0% hahahahahahaha

NOT 1 set against Novak on plexicushion and now that he's even older he's going to beat him??? LOL dumb **** logic.

Anyway, Fed's not making it to the quarters this year. Get ready

If he gets the same draw he did at the USO his chances go down exponentially. Although if he got Tipsy in the QF and Ferrer in the semis than he has a shot.

Still it is hard to argue with this kind of reasoning:

Let's make a bet. If you win, you can determine what my payout is. If I win, you leave the boards. I wager Federer will make AT LEAST the quarters. Naturally you believe he will not. What should my payout be?

Let's make a bet, you're so confident.

Australia and a indoor grass court is night and day. Grass (especially indoors grass, is Nole's worst surface and Roger's best.). Australia is Nole's best surface by far and one of Roger's worst now.
Would you prefer they didn't have the roof and players had to play or at least finish multiple matches in a single day just to cram it all into two weeks? I have a feeling there would be just as many excuses for Federer winning in that scenario, if not more.

Is that why he leads the head-to-head?

Honestly.... Can you guys be realistic. Obiously we cant count Roger out he's amazing. But on the note of Wimbledon 2012 yes they said Nole had it but come on. Thats Noles worst surface by far and Rogers best. The AO is where Nole excels. So im giving it to him.

and will you disappear forever from here if he does beat novak ? LOL !

I already said novak is the favourite ...

and yeah anyways nadal isn't even going to make it to 1R @ the AO ...... get ready ..... oh wait ....you already are

again, you are just trolling here because of your frustration that your favourite nadal is out .....go try somewhere else ....

where's the love? on-topic:

Djoko's the odds on AO fav no doubt. But when you're Federer and you've done everything, fought and won in every type of situation, and are considered by many as the GOAT, even if your best days are behind you, you always have a chance, whatever the odds. This isn't just any player ... and Federer still has enough 'physical' in him that on any given day he's capable of pulling out his "almost-A+" game which might be enough to match Djoko on an off day ... who knows? jm2cts

Weirder things have happened. The way Djokovic and Nadal play submits their bodies to a higher chance of injury not to mention this thing called life in which stuff happens.

Nole was defending Wimbledon champion just 6 months ago.

He didn't. Hards are Nadal's worst surface. And Federer's second best (relative to the field).

Not saying Federer is gonna beat him, though. I do think it's extremely unlikely.

Are you saying that Federer is a better player on the AO surface than Nadal?

Because I have some evidence that refutes such a statement.

Course he is. And don't bring up the freaking head-to-head. Federer was past his prime and then there's the match-up.

If he was past his prime then, then he's past his prime now.

And if you're making the argument that Federer is a better player at the AO despite the fact that Nadal beat him in four sets last year in the semi (and other times before that), I'm gonna pull out the common sense card. No no, he's not.

Even past his prime, Federer is still an awesome player.
