So I am a Federer and Nadal fan so I will give in interpretation of the situation.
Nadal pulled out of this tournament and he is getting a lot of hate, but I don't understand he is not feeling well, probably well enough to compete but it is a smart decision for him as he is not 100% and this is one of his worst surfaces - so having secured the number 1 spot, there is little point carrying on. And for his age, it is better to rest and prepare for the next Grand Slam which is much more important.
Nadal shouldn't be getting hate because Federer pulled out for most of the season, rested and skipped a Grand Slam to try and win Wimbledon.
Anyway Federer isn't playing hugely well by his standards, but he is clear favorite to win and I fully expect him to lift the title.
Guys, these two are the greatest two players of all time and it has been a pleasure to watch them growing up. It is really sad because they are both at the very end of their careers and we won't be seeing them compete at this level. Yes the 2017 season was very favorable for both of them, the lack of new generation as well as their direct competitors being injured helped and really took me back to when I first started watching tennis where Federer and Nadal were dominating.
This probably won't ever happen again, so let them enjoy their last few years and they will live on in the history books and youtube videos.
Thank you guys, salute.
