Federer's draw could have been one of the toughest of all time

[merlinpinpin]

You paid a great tribute to that era´s greatness with your comment on Edmondson ( AO and W semifinalist as well as AO champion in 19769

Wow! You mean you also know the results of slams that will get played in like 18,000 years time? :shock:

That's pretty impressive tennis knowledge!

Too bad you know zilch about current or past tennis, but I'll be sure to come and ask you next time I have a question about tennis in the year 20,000... :lol:

Yes, specially since Robredo had to defeat champs like Rosewall and newcombe, back to back, to earn the title

Yea 42-year old Rosewall. It's like a well playing Robredo faced current (and I mean current 2012) Agassi.

LAWL.

the lucky loser is playing better than any of his previous three opponents or for that matter any of the first three opponents of djoker/nadal ...

He played very well (being Belgian, I tried to watch all his matches), but it's still phenomenal how some of you always see the difficulties in Federer's draw, and not in Nadal's draw. Nadal has Monaco in the fourth round. On paper, who is the tougher opponent?

If it's on blue paper, the Rafa might have problems

Since Rosewall never took drugs he fared much better than a 42 yrs AA would...he played 2 GS finals a couple of years before Edmondson beat him in 4 sets at melbourne.

Berdych and Del Potro both look hurt. Federer's draw doesn't look so hard now.

Why the certain face?

Oh really? What if the winner beats Federer in the next round (which I think will happen)?

Then it won't be because he had a hard draw but because he's played crap. He's already lost sets to Umag, Mahut and Goffin.

Stop kidding yourself. Both Berdych and Del Potro are good enough to trouble Federer these days even when he's playing well.
