Who would fedr least like to draw in semi. Ralph, nole, or mury goat?

At this point? Honestly I don't think any of them would stand much of a chance against a fully fit federer.

Semis are feds strongest round at Wimbledon after round 1.

Uninjured he's dropped exactly one set there in his career.

So not much difference in my opinion.

Yeah, but hope he didn't add few more pounds after having a long break from clay season.

1) Murray
2) Nadal
3) Federer
4) Wawrinka

Murray stays on top due to strong 2016 finish and the Wimb title.
Nadal second due to the clay season 2017 sweep and strong 2017 start.
Federer is third after his amazing 2017 start and the 2016 Wimb SF points help him a bit as well. Could've been higher if he had played more on clay but alas.
Wawrinka fourth because of his 2016 USO win and strong 2017 start.

Djokovic drops down to #5-7 because of his weak 2016 finish and equally weak 2017 start.

I'm pretty confident of this order. Would put money on it if possible.

Lol, we've never seen a truly fat Fred even though he used to really put away the schnitzel and wurst back in the day.

 

[Beast from the East]

so who's likely to be the top 4 seeds in wimbledon?

Murray 1

federer/nadal 2+3 (depending on who has the best grass warm up tournaments)

Djokovic 4?

Wawrinka could well be top 4 if he wins today, if not djokovic would likely have to play a warm up tournament to make any higher than 4th

I don't get why it would be anything other than coincidence that he has done better in semi-finals than in finals. (Round 1 is because the quality of opposition is different). What's your reasoning there? That he gets nervous in finals? Or that his opponents in finals are stronger?

Djokovic has 1000 more points in the Wimbledon seed race, someone explain how exactly could Roger possibly pass him, he plays a 250 and 500 tournament before Wimbledon.

as wimbledon seeding formula adds on 100% of points earned on grass before wimbledon starts. so obviously Wim '16 and then add on all grass court tournaments in 2017. so they essentially count as double points

 

[Djokovic2011]

If Djokovic is seeded #3 or lower it'll be the first time since the 2011 AO that he won't be one of the top 2 seeds.
