Dimitrov has done nothing in the last year to show me he has a chance. Fed in 3, maybe 4. Unless Fed plays like he did third round last year, then babyfed could be close

Great call. How much money are you putting on the Young Artiste ?

2 bob maximum - he'll probably lose in straights but dare I believe!

Real Fed over FedZero in a pause from baseline bashing that will refresh us all. Real Fed in four if FedZero doesn't overdo his milf session the night before. Three if he can't resist temptation.

Federer in 4, and it will be quite the match I reckon.

Just realised something. Ok, so Mirka is a few years older than Fed. As expected FedZero got himself Masha who is a few years older. But now, FedZero gets himself Nicole who is the same age as Mirka.Real Fed over FedZero in a pause from baseline bashing that will refresh us all.

Anyway, this is their first slam meeting. Hope it is a cracker.

GOAT in straights. Federer has a good draw.

Fed in straights. I like Dimitrov but he's a poser, while Federer is the real deal. The realest deal, in fact.

Dimi to push Fed a bit more than some here are saying.
Still 3-4 sets for Roger though.

Horrible draw for Fed.
Dimitrov will be in the top 10 by the end. Don't worry about that. He will do a lot of damage this year.
I originally thought Dimitrov would be good for the upset before it started, however I think Fed is playing well enough to win. It will be a great and competitive match but Roger will have enough imo.
Has Davin got any tricks up his sleeve?
Also conditions matter, Fed says the day is twice as quick as the evening. Scheduling sometimes determines results.
Good luck @ArcspacE, would be a brilliant win for Dimi. A chance to reach the SFs and get his confidence and ranking back to its rightful place.

Fed in 4.
Dimi retires and flies back to England with Murray to act as midwife for Kim Sears'.

For all the dates he is able to get, the one date he fails to get is a date with a grand slam final.

I think this just might be the time for Dimi to do it.
It will hurt me big time but I'm thinking Mr Sherzinger/ex-ova-liams in 3/4.

Vader v Kylo Ren is not a fair fight; Kylo barely started his training... He got beat by a total novice Force user

A beatdown for Grigolo's (great one haha) bottom of his back - no chance at all, Fed in 3.
I like the last option, but not the time to make fun of Nadal

I was completely unimpressed with Roger's game about the Dog. His BH looked especially weak and endless UE's off that wing. Cahill and Cliff Drysdale both commented repeatedly that Federer looked "ragged" and "rusty" from the back of the court.
I don't think Fed stands a prayer in this tournament. Even if Djoker would be upset by someone else, Fed in his form hasn't a chance to win this with his current level.
His serving was awesome against Dolgo, however. But as he saw at Wimbledon last year, a great serve alone is not going to win him the tournament. He has to return better and somehow find a semblance of form on his BH.

The tighter matches often hinge on break point conversion. He remains really substandard in that area. They have cost him major championships recently. I don't know why someone of his talent and experience would experience tightness in key match moments, but if he can improve at least a little, the other strengths will carry the day.
