I know it's not Federer's fault, but his draw in the AO has been profoundly easy. Here are the rankings of his opponents so far:
1st. Johnson, 75
2nd. Krajanovic, 41
3rd. Millman, 47
4th. Fucsovics, 67
Qtr: Sandgren, 100
Assuming Fed beats Sandgren, he would have made it to a GS semifinal without facing an opponent in the top 40. Has that ever happened before? Perhaps on the women's side where there seems to be more upsets. Of course, he will likely face Djokovic next and then a tough opponent in the final, but so far it's been borderline Challenger-level competition for him.
