From now on Who has the toughest draw ?

[sheq]

We past first two rounds and everything looks casual till now.

however i wonder what people thinks about the draw because when the draw was announced i thought that Murray has the hardest one while Novak the easiest one. Yet roger draw comes to me the toughest one for some reasons. What do you think ?

Murray has the toughest one but Federer has Del Potro.

On this slow HC doubt that Karlovic or Llodra can hurt them. Round 4 is iffy, Tomic can be a hurdle as well as Monfils. QF gets even tougher, both Tsonga and Del Potro are very dangerous. SF is hard to predict.

Djokovic's and Nadal's draws are much easier.

Murray for sure.

Beating Tsonga, Djokovic, and finally Nadal or Fed in a row would be one hell of a feat

Federer has the toughest 3rd match against Karlovic ( Even if i have no idea about his current form )

Murray has the worst 4rd match against Monfils

Federer or Murray has the toughest quarter final test in terms of their opponents current form.

Murray also has the hardest task in tennis world, beating Djokovic

Tough call between Fed and Murray. Monfils and Tsonga can be great players, but also very streaky. Djokovic is obviously difficult, but a semi is better for Murray than a final.

Federer has a tricky encounter with a stylish young player be it Dolgo or Tomic, and I think he'll get through that OK. But then he would potentially face two major winners who have beaten him in Grand Slams, so I'd have to give the slight edge to Federer for the toughest draw. I think he'll get past del Potro in three or four sets, but Nadal will be tough. It will depend on how high Nadal is able to get the ball to bounce in that match.

Nadal and Djokovic have little to worry about till the semis.

If you compare between top 4, I think you should just compare 4th round and quarters. I mean, of course Murray has it tougher than Djokovic anyway since 1) Djokovic > Murray and 2) Murray's opponent (Djokovic) > Djokovic's opponent (Murray)

when Dr. Evil is on. he will be a nightmare for every body.. all he has to do is win one point against his opponent serve in the tie breaker.. with his usual billion ace.. this guy is quite a bore to watch..

Murray then Federer then Djokovic and finally Nadal who seems to pretty much be guaranteed a finals appearance.

I picked Federer, has to play Karlovic which is always a "tall" task. Then the matchup w/dolgopolov can be tricky as that guy is an on and off winner machine. Delpotro should be an easy win for him as he's not at the same level he was a few years ago imo, and Berdych or Nadal are always dangerous. I hope to see another GS semi for fed

Not taking in to account the semis, Nadal and Djok's draws are pure lol. Federer's is quite a bit harder than Murray's. An in form Del Potro is better than Tsonga.
