Predict the rest of Fed's 2017 schedule.

[HunterST]

Which tournaments do you think Federer will play? Now that he's older, he's obviously going to be more selective about which tournaments he plays. The announcers during Miami were talking about how he'll probably skip 2 of the Monte-Carlo, Madrid, and Rome series.

What do you think the rest of the schedule will be like? Do you agree with what you think the likely schedule will be?

Good call on no clay Master's. You posted this 45 minutes before Fed said that was his plan.

Ah I always forget which one he plays. It's Basel. Good call.

Montreal (as he isn't playing clay, I get the feeling he won't skip here)
Cincinnati

So no Paris. Or Paris and no Shanghai, because of that Laver Cup nonsense.

Will play Paris Indoors if #1 is at stake, maybe even Shanghai. Not sure on RG.

Oh crikey, I was forgetting about all that Laver Cup malarkey.

 

[Zebrev]

WIMBLEDON!

I'm almost certain of it...

 

[Dilexson]

The race for year end NO 1 might come to play in the last part of the year.
Just saying.

 

[HunterST]

I got tickets to Rogers Cup in Montreal, so, if everyone could please pray he plays there, I would appreciate it.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

There will be a charity match somewhere this yr between Federer and Sampras and 90's Clay will say it decides the Open Era GOAT

 

[mike danny]

Man i hope he doesn't skip Montreal again, hasn't played there since 2011.

He did play in atoronto in 2014 though. I treat those 2 as one masters event.

Cincinatti

Adds Paris maybe depending on how the race for number 1 is looking. If all he needs is WTF final or win then he won't.

Problem with Canada is that it's so close to Cincinatti.

Yup, no way he plays Canada when Cincy he's won 7x. It's one of those events he loves because it's such a low-key venue in Mason, Ohio.

He won't play US Open?

 

[ncgator]

Going to Cincy, and hoping to see a Federer vs Kyrgios rematch.

Fedr/Kyr is probably the tour's most entertaining matchup.

Great list but he almost certainly won't play Montreal.

 

[KINGROGER]

Great list but he almost certainly won't play Montreal.

Wasn't he scheduled to play there last year, but pulled out saying "it's a great event hope to see you there next year"?

Found it: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/news.n...derer-rafael-nadal-pull-out-of-tournament/amp

Says he looks forward to coming back to Canada next year.

 

[NEW_BORN]

He did play in atoronto in 2014 though. I treat those 2 as one masters event.

For nitpicking sake, i treat an event held in 2 different cities as 2 separate tournaments, which is why i'm still peeved to this day that he lost his only Montreal final to Djokovic in 07.
