on the other hand, if he loses in the first 4 rounds he'll do nothing of the above

Federer's opponents:

R1: Mikhail Kukushkin (#60)

R2: Adrian Mannarino (#55) or Conor Niland (#181)

R3: probably David Nalbandian (#23)

R4: Nicolas Almagro (#15), Mikhail Youzhny (#17), or John Isner (#47)

I would be surprised if any of those guys will stop Federer the way he is playing.

It's amazing. A 2nd round versus Fed would be dreamlike - showcourt to boot!

He's 100% against Rog too! :)

Yep Federer has a perfect draw to the semi-finals. Only threats (he'd probably beat both in straight sets if they actually played anyway) are Isner and Tsonga if they're GOATing.

If Federer wins and Nadal doesn't reach the final, Djokovic is the new no 1. It would be a 500 point margin between 1-2-3, though.
