Are you sure? You're saying that even if Rafa wins RG, if Roger wins Halle, he'll be #2 seed? This is not what I have read elsewhere, but don't know enough about rankings to voice an opinion. Roger will also be dropping 150 points from Stuttgart 2018.
What about the points he will lose?
There’s another thread on this with more detail, but pretty sure that’s how it works. Were Rafa to say play Queens and reach the quarters, that would guarantee him at worst a tie - I don’t know what the tiebreaker would be. Semis or better would lock it up for him.
Saw the info elsewhere. Not smart enough to work it out myself, but if that’s the case then my mistake
No, he drops them all. It’s only 75% of your best year 2 event, which for Fed is Wimb 2017, so he gets 1,500 for that.
Did some digging and it’s your best event for 2017
ATP points (6,120 after taking out last years Stuttgart and Halle), plus
Typos - going too fast. 7,145 ATP, and 135 year 2. I’ll fix the original.
Should be 135, not 145 for 2017
Yes - all fixed now. Shouldn’t be doing this on my phone.
As a Fed fan, it does matter immensely. A #2 seed means he does not have to go through (potentially) both Nadal and Djokovic. If he's #2 seed, he will only have to face Djoker in the final. Not Djoker in the semis and potentially Rafa in the final. It's huge.
. But there is not much to do about it since he is not playing Stuttgart. Just win Halle and hope Nadal doesn't play a grass tourney just to grab 2 seed.
I'm pretty sure he's always entered in Queens.
Roger was basically nerfed by the wind (moreso than Nadal) where he needed perfect execution to even have a chance. This wouldn't be as detrimental on grass.
It's called the weakest era in history.
I don’t think he’s played it since 2015, and 2011 was the last time before that. I think he was entered to play the last two years but pulled out.
That's the wrong tree. Fed's execution at WB wouldn't have to be as good to stand a chance. Of course he could still lose, but I'd give him better odds all other things being equal, including form.
That's the point. I think he is less likely to do that as often at WB as at the French.
I simply think put Roger of the FO SF in a WB SF and chances are he performs better there, in the same 'conditions'. My memory is fine.
He was carrying a right hand injury from Stuttgart until the YEC. Robbie Federer was referencing that again this week, saying Roger couldn't even hold his knife properly with the hand issue. That's why his game was slightly off.
Yeah and he should have simply won in straights, of course. Trust Fed lol.
Why is there dissension in this thread? This Forum is supposed to be positive and about Roger, not getting into conflicts with others. Take it to the other sub-forums please.
let's go get another.
Not sure why you're so angry at Federer, all of the posters here and possibly those kids that keep playing on your lawn but I'm sure you're a barrel of laughs in the real world.
