Djokovic is showing up to play events and meeting commitments. Fed's behavior lately has been diabolical with withdrawals. Time to see what Nadal will do. I suspect he'll want to show up and play one match and retire to cash in the money. If its by the rules its ok, no?Had to laugh at the "RBA being in Djokovic's group so he may retain #1" option. You're dynamite Meles!
Yes, a guy who earned 200 million DEFINITELY needs those 100 grand, so badly...
So how exactly is Nadal's NOT playing helping his no 1 cause...?
Lol. This plan includes every other top 10 player other than Federer withdraw from AO I suppose?Nadl is ruining my planzzz to get Fedr to #1 after AO20

Well showing up and then withdrawing before the first round 100% guarantees RBA will not be in Djoko's group. They're last three hard court matches and this is played on hard courts last I checked:
Meanwhile before you know itIt was just a bit of fun
But it was definitely possible (would've been much better if Nadl beat Djokr at Bercy (or Djokr lost before finals)). Fedr defends 180pts at AO, while Djokr/Nadl defends 2000/1200. In the most extreme case, it's a 3020-3820pts swing. I know that's not likely, but that's a lot of room for error.
That would be a bad look. Imagine if Djoker and fed get drawn in the same group and then Rafa bounces.
Its darn near what you want him to do.That would be a bad look. Imagine if Djoker and fed get drawn in the same group and then Rafa bounces.
Think he will play at least one match no matter what. I want Fed to win it, then Rafa, so no, I don't want that.Its darn near what you want him to do.
How can he know 5-6 days before he plays if this is even remotely borderline? He may pull the trigger in greed Tuesday and have to pull out before the first match.
Meanwhile before you know it
If Novak and Agut played at WTF I'd bet on Novak, of course.Well showing up and then withdrawing before the first round 100% guarantees RBA will not be in Djoko's group. They're last three hard court matches and this is played on hard courts last I checked:
12/2019 R16 Miami Masters Hard Roberto Bautista Agut Novak Djokovic 1-6 7-5 6-3
1/2019 SF Doha Hard Roberto Bautista Agut Novak Djokovic 3-6 7-6(6) 6-4
40/2016 SF Shanghai Masters Hard Roberto Bautista Agut Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-4
You don't bet much do you.
I think Rafa almost always pulls out before it starts if he has much doubt. Especially at any non slam event.
If he loses to RBA at WTF, Mad Lad will have him too.
True, but there is a lot on the line. I think he gives it a go, especially considering he won't play for a week.
Have you studied tennis lately?If he loses to RBA at WTF, Mad Lad will have him too.
So your Melesian Science is to take ONE match from a whole decade and base your predictions and conclusions around that?
