Novak Djokovic is joined in top half by the No4 seed David Ferrer, while No3 Roger Federer joins Andy Murray in the bottom half.
Tomas Berdych lands in the Djokovic quarter, del Potro in with Ferrer.
BOOM: Rafael Nadal lands in Roger Federer's quarter, meaning they could play in the QFs. Tsonga falls softly in Murray's quarter.

Top half projected R16s : Djokovic-Haas Gasquet-Berdych, Ferrer-Kohlschreiber Nishikori-del Potro.
Bottom half projected R16s: Nadal-Wawrinka, Almagro-Federer, Tsonga-Cilic, Tipsarevic-Murray.
Top R32s: Djokovic-Chardy, Simon-Haas, Gasquet-Querrey, Anderson-Berdych, Ferrer-Dolgo Raonic-Kohls, Kei-Seppi, Dimitrov-delPo

Benoit Paire lands as a potentially 3rd round for Rafael Nadal.
TOUGH first round for Novak Djokovic against 2012 quarterfinalist Florian Mayer. One of the toughest floaters.
Bottom R32s: Nadal-Paire, Isner-Wawa, Almagro-Janowicz, Fognini-Fed, Tsonga-Benneteau, Pico-Cilic, Tips-Youzhny, Robredo-Murray.
Americans Reynolds and Johnson draw each other in R1 with winner to face Novak Djokovic. Harrison also in that section vs Chardy.
Big ticket first round match between Gilles Simon and Feliciano Lopez. Tursunov-Haas could also be fun.
Bernard Tomic gets Sam Querrey in the first round, winner to play Blake-de Bakker winner.
Injured lucky loser Olivier Rochus draws Kevin Anderson in the first round.
Not an easy first round for Tomas Berdych against Martin Klizan. Then gets a Daniel, either Brands or Gimeno-Traver.
Milos Raonic gets Carlos Berlocq, which should be a smooth opener on grass for the Canadian.
American qualifier Alex Kuznetsov gets a decent draw against Igor Sijsling. Kudla gets Duckworth in battle of qualifiers.
Llodra-Nieminen should be a crowd-pleasing battle of 30-somethings, winner to get Istomin-Seppi winner.
Juan Martin del Potro opens against Albert Ramos, then Pella-Levine.
Rafael Nadal opens against Steve Darcis then gets Kubot-Andreev.
John Isner thankfully avoids Nicolas Mahut, but gets Evgeny Donskoy who beat him this week in Eastbourne.
Benoit Paire will begin his tournament as a tribute in The Ungur Games. He'll go straight for the cornucopia, that one.
Ooh, Lleyton Hewitt gets a blockbuster R1 against Stanislas Wawrinka.
Lukas Rosol opens against Reister but more importantly could play Roger Federer in the third round if he gets by Fognini-Melzer.
First two rounds for Roger Federer, first against Hanescu and then Dutra Silva-Stakhovsky winner.
Ernests Gulbis gets Roger-Vasselin then a VERY intriguing possible R2 against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Will be tough for Ernie.
Isner and Mahut won't meet before the semis, folks. Sigh of relief.
Slumping Marcos Baghdatis is still maybe a tough opening round for Queens finalist Marin Cilic.
All-Serb R1 battle in Murray's eighth between Viktor Troicki and Janko Tipsarevic.
Nicolas Mahut gets Jan Hajek and then Robredo-Bogomolov, and then maybe Andy Murray.

Wow another easy cake draw for Nadal...

To be fair, Fed has it really tough this year as well.

Murray too.

Novak should make the final, no way will Ferrer stop him.

lol poor Hewitt

Wimbledon is his best chance at a deep run in a slam all year, and he draws Wawrinka first round.

Nadal and Federer have the same draw from the quarters onwards, I imagine neither of us will be celebrating come the second Sunday.

Damn, I forgot to post my draw predictions :)

I would have thought they'd put Djokovic with Fed and Nadal but instead they decide to screw Murray :-? ( scratch that, he faces only one of them , most likely Nadal, and should be able to beat either in the semi)

They really don't want Murray winning Wimby, do they ?

So Federer losing in the round of 16 and not facing Nadal in the quarters will mean he is a better player than if he goes deeper but then loses to Nadal thus making his h2h worse?

Is this right? I tried to imagine being a partisan hack but I can't quite figure out how the logic works. Losing earlier would make him better in this case no? :evil:

Too bad this is happening when he is so *******. Imagine seeing Rog play Nadal, Murray and then Djoker peak to peak on grass? Would have been a sight.

Fed will more than likely lose in 4 to Nadal. Queue the trolling.

Fed first might have to face rosol in 3rd round , if ever rosol wins first and second round and then it will be rosol vs rafa in quarters which i want to see :)

Fed has already achieved everything,win or lose don't really matter at 32.

How was it trolling? If RFederer loses in the QF, do you think he won't drop to #5? Is RFederer likely to win Wimbledon with this draw? :lol:

Good to see you back from your exile. :)

We need you around for Wimbledon.

Their agenda is for Djokovic to break Federer's slam record. They obviously don't care about a Brit winning Wimbledon at all.

Feddy will pull it off in 3, 4 top. He better does.

If it goes to 5, he will lose it like 6-1 or something

Always played crap in the 5th.

Are you talking about Federer's fourth round vs Almagro ? :-? I don't see him pulling anything out in 3 vs Nadal or Murray.

Agreed. I can't wait to see tennis_pro's absolutely flawless statistically significant 'evidence' to suggest that the draws are rigged. :|

I have to agree with this, as the insecurity is off the charts in various corners of the internet--all participants thinking "the fix is in" to "get" Federer. Absolute nonsense.

^^^ It is not about you or I believing. I doubt if Fed believes he can beat Nadal in a best of 5 now.

Honestly, it doesn't matter if he can or cannot beat Nadal in a best of 5. The time where that was important is passed now; he's too old.

It's a "nothing to lose, everything to gain" thing for Federer now that he's 32.

If he loses, so what? Anyone else at his age should've been retired for two years now at least.

Federer and Nadal potentially have to go through 3 of the "Big 4" to win the tournament. Djokovic only will have to play one of them. Anyone who thinks this is balanced is off their rocker. Murray has a pretty easy go of it, up to the SF since his potential QF opponent is Tsonga with whom he has an 8-1 H2H, 4-0 on grass.

I dont like how tough this draw is for Rafa, but Im glad that those ******* fans who were wishing Rafa to be #5 are now screwed up

If Nadal gets to the QF then I think he will go all the way, Federer should be no challenge and he'll beat Murray as he always does (especially coming off the back of a big win over Roger). With all that momentum I don't see him losing to Djokovic in the final.
