Let's first hope he gets there.
I'd rather Fed face a quality opponents like Murray or Stan in the final than a Monfils.
Not a huge fan of this tournament because of the geriatricerer set, but if Pouille doesn't get stuck with Murray he might wake up here. Medvedev, Paire, Evans, and Khachanov are all in decent form. Monifils will be 4th seed, so everyone will want to draw into that quarter or perhaps Wawrinka's.
Potential QF matchups; let's keep Pouille away from Murray
, the rest also are pretty weak of course except for Berd Poop.
This would be good to see:
