[peRFection]

Nadal gets the easiest draw in history.

 

[NoleFam]

Nadal gets the easiest draw in history.

Actually, neither he or Federer have an easy draw. Didn't Fognini beat him here a couple of years ago?

 

[True Fanerer]

Danger early on for Federer

 

[jm1980]

Nadal with yet another cakewalk draw at the USO

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

About as equally challenging for both. Dimitrov could be a challenge for Rafa. Fed has some tricky opponents but nobody he shouldn't beat. Not really scared of anyone outside of Kyrgios. He should beat Thiem/Delpo easily. Tiafoe is kind of a scary first rounder if Federer comes out rusty

Rafa/Fed possibility is very real

 

[tennis_crazy]

Kyrgios to take down Federer
Dimitrov to slay Nadal

 

[Chicharito]

Rigged.

They want a Fedal match. Draw them together then give Nadal a cakewalk to ensure.

 

[Charlie]

Nadal has a longer relationship with USO cakewalks than he has with Xisca.

 

[VoodooChild24]

Rafa and Roger have a tricky draw. Lots of dangers in that half.

 

[sbengte]

I hope it backfires big time. If anyone needed a cakewalk, it was the injured Federer. They screwed it now.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Both draws are relatively tricky in my opinion. That SF could be the de-facto championship.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

Fed draw is too tough, but I think cant complain as there is no Novak to worry about.......Fed should streamroll to semis with all those unstable mugs in his draw and in semis, he needs to handle nadal just like he handled him before this year and murray would be a no worry if he reaches final that is. If fed plays strategically, it is HIS USO to win.

Nadal draw till R3 is a complete joke

 

[Djokovic2011]

If Nadal gets past Dimitrov and Federer loses before the semis it's difficult to see who can stop him winning a 3rd title.

 

[BHServe]

Actually, neither he or Federer have an easy draw. Didn't Fognini beat him here a couple of years ago?

Didn't just beat, it was quite humiliating actually for Rafa, Two sets and a break up. Fognini actually played a heck of a match from that point on

 

[metsman]

GREAT FCKING JOB MURRAY

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

If Nadal gets past Dimitrov and Federer loses before the semis it's difficult to see who can stop him winning a 3rd title.

Zverev can *if* he doesn't crap all over himself. USO seems to be a coronation for new champions though, so it would be fitting for him not to crap himself.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

If Nadal gets past Dimitrov and Federer loses before the semis it's difficult to see who can stop him winning a 3rd title.

most of them are unstable in Feds draw except for may be Querrey(a little danger), so it is possible fed will reach semis without breaking much sweat. Dimitrov or Berdych can take nadal out imo

 

[Chicharito]

Have they also tried to rig Fed Kyrgios for Labor day weekend? SAD!

If Nadal gets past Dimitrov and Federer loses before the semis it's difficult to see who can stop him winning a 3rd title.

Zverev 100%

Murray isn't getting to the final lol. They're trying to make it happen but it wont

 

[NoleFam]

Fognini played the match of his life to wrestle that from him. I hope to see a rematch or Berdych bring a high level like he did at Wimbledon.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Querrey has been playing great tennis, let's not automatically hype up Fed-Kyrgios just yet. Kyrgios needs to, as he said, show up for the "smaller" matches. I'll worry about that match if it actually comes to pass, but I don't trust Kyrgios not to tank if he gets down

 

[PeteD]

Nadal has a longer relationship with USO cakewalks than he has with Xisca.

certainly a deeper one

 

[MasturB]

Zed must be thrilled.

No Thiem, Kyrgios, Dimitrov, Nadal, Federer on his side. Only a not-healthy Mugg.

Wow. Zed has no excuse to not make final with this draw.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Zverev can *if* he doesn't crap all over himself. USO seems to be a coronation for new champions though, so it would be fitting for him not to crap himself.

Crap on the opponents instead.

 

[icedevil0289]

damn y'all weren't kidding about fed's draw

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Fed/Nadal to make final only to get 09 Delpo'd by Alexander the Great

 

[Shaolin]

Nadal with yet another cakewalk draw at the USO

He'll still fail to reach Fed in the SF.

 

[GOATzilla]

Lmao Fed fans have the audacity to say Nadal has an easy draw after he faced Berdych in the semis and an injured Cilic in the final of Wimbledon.

The only tough round for Fed could be the potential Querrry/Kyrgios 4th rd. And there's always a possibility that Kyrgios might not even get up for the match.

Now Murray really got away with the draw, but might not make it to the later stages considering he's not at his physical best

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Fognini played the match of his life to wrestle that from him. I hope to see a rematch or Berdych bring a high level like he did at Wimbledon.

Yep troll Berdych at your own risk I'd say, he beat Federer convincingly (his first ever night match loss at USO) the yr Federer convincingly beat Nole in Cincy. Berdych has had great matches here.

 

[MasturB]

Seriously there's zero threats to Zed in his quarter of the draw. If Murray isn't healthy to challenge then he definitely has no threats in his half.

Top half is loaded though.

Kyrgios would get up for it, question is will he make it that far

 

[Sport]

Nadal's draw is slightly worse. I prefer Kyrgios over Dimitrov (Dimitrov defeated easily Kyrgios in Cincinnati). And Berdych over Thiem. But both draws are highly complicated.

Dimitrov R16, Raonic QF is hard as it gets. How its Fed fault that Nole and Rafa retire/lost ?!

I agree they're both tricky but the transitive property doesn't apply to sports. The fact of the matter is Nadal/Federer have to play a helluva lot better than they did in Montreal/Cincy (for Nadal) if they want to beat guys like Zverev/Kyrgios/Dimitrov etc.

Kyrgios or Dimitrov would both be tricky for Nadal, especially if his form is going to be this erratic. Which I don't expect it to be.

 

[TennisLBC]

Federer has a tougher draw than Nadal. But Rafa does not have the cakewalk some are suggesting. There are some pitfalls for sure.

 

[GOATzilla]

Dimitrov R16, Raonic QF is hard as it gets. How its Fed fault that Nole and Rafa retire/lost ?!

Really? The Raonic of 2017, where he's been withdrawing due to injury since early this year? Look at his results so far.

And if Dimitrov is that tough, why do I see all the Fed fans mocking Nadal's draw? He has Fognini, Berdych and Dimitrov in his quarter

You need to make up your mind on if Berdych is good or not

I don't see Kyrgios even getting this far. And given Nadal's current form I actually see him losing even to Berdych. AO 2015 proved even that is possible.

 

[NoleFam]

I'm not trolling Berdych. He did play a high level at Wimbledon.

 

[skip1969]

Fed's quarter looks like the toughest on paper. Murray's quarter, the weakest.

The gods aren't gonna punish me by having Murray in the final, are they? Naaaahhhh . . . they're not that cruel.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I'm not trolling Berdych. He did play a high level at Wimbledon.

No I was saying in general people should troll Berdych at their own risk because he has done well here before. Granted 2012 Berdych was a VERY good version of Berdych.

 

[GOATzilla]

You need to make up your mind on if Berdych is good or not

It's 2017, and Berdych is a tough 4th rd opponent. Wouldn't say the same about semifinals. However it's not Fed's fault that others got dispatched.

You just butthurt that when Nadal lost at WB, you and your ilk was hoping any poor soul in the the draw would beat Federer. 19>15. Deal with it.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Ok glad we agree on that, because I don't think he's easy either. Especially with how shaky Nadal has looked on HC this summer. Nadal gets visibly nervous these days. Could actually be a close match if Berdych plays with nothing to lose, which he has the luxury of.

 

[Newcomer]

2012 was five years ago.

 

[West Coast Ace]

If Nadal gets past Dimitrov and Federer loses before the semis it's difficult to see who can stop him winning a 3rd title.

Last time Berdych played Nadal on hard he smoked him, real bad. So don't assume Dimitrov will have the 1st great shot at Nadal.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

2012 was five years ago.

But, like now, he wasn't "supposed" to beat Federer. And did. Convincingly too. For his first ever night match L. And that was a healthy, in form, pretty amazing summer Federer (Wimbledon Win, Olympic Silver, Cincy title over Djokovic)

He could give Nadal problems if it's the MTL/Cincy Nadal

Berdych actually was a tough opponent for Federer back in 2010-2012. But starting from 2013 his record against top players speaks for itself. I will feel very very bad if Nadal will lose to him, same as I felt in AO 2015.

 

[Bukmeikara]

Anderson again drawed with Zverev, they would play for the 4th time this year
