I don't think Federer will get Nadal's walkover on his side, he will most likely get Nadal. 1 vs.3, 2 vs.4 has a 10% of happening.
 
Why does Wawa's name appear in the list of seeds ? Didn't he withdraw ?

I am not making any predictions this year, I'd like to retire with my 100% RG record from last year ;-)

Conspiracy theorists, post your draw predictions before it is out rather than saying you always knew it once the draw is out :)

He didn't withdraw

I predict Fed will draw Nadal in his semi, Berdych/Tsonga in his quarter and Janowicz. Nadal will get Tipsarevic or almagro or some other pushover. Djokovic will draw Raonic, Isner, Gulbis and Dimitrov. If Fed doesnt draw Nadal then Djoker will swan out in an early round before he can meet Nadal......

Do you really have to be a conspiracy theorist when it's so blindingly obvious whose half Ralph falls under? :lol:

BTW can I ask you,what happened to the French people hating Ralph which would translate to a hard draw for him? Should that be taken under consideration at all?

SF: Federer in Nadal's half, Djoker in Ferrer's...if draws are rigged, this is a given. Others that are probable but maybe not so certain with rigged draws:

Federer gets someone tough in his QF like Tsonga/Berdych
Probably Ferrer gets the other tough QF match-up (whichever of Tsonga/Berdych isn't put with Fed)
Djoker and Nadal get the comparatively easier Wawa and Gasquet in their QFs...because of their AO classic, I'd say Djoker gets Wawa in the QF for a rigged draw, leaving Rafa with Gasquet.

Some other signs of a rigged draw would be:

Dimitrov against Djoker in R32 or at latest R16
Simon (drains too much energy) and Haas (too big a threat for his ranking) kept away from Djoker and Rafa's quarters to preserve the dream Final...come to think of it, Simon probably ends up in Federer's section for R16 or QFs at the latest.
Gulbis against Rafa in an early round, or at very latest, the R16
Rosol (who may seeded now) against Rafa in R32 or at the very latest, the R16.
Isner against Rafa in R16
Maybe even Janowicz against Tsonga for R16

Those are the most obvious ones I can think of if I was a RG organizer looking to maximize the number of interesting match-ups/revenue. If the draw is indeed rigged, expect to see a disproportionate number of these come true. Again, by far the most important and certain in my view is Djoker and Rafa being in opposite halves.
 
Worthless draw, this year there's no French Open, it will just rain non-stop in Paris, only Monday it won't.
 
Nadal will get a cake draw. As usual. Tipsarevic in the quarters and Federer in the semi. Djokovic is not making the final regardless of whether Nadal is in his half or not; it'll probably be a fluke finalist this year.

Barring MC, everything's gone in Ralph's favour. He's now evaded Djokovic in IW,Madrid, even Rome. Looking at the way things have gone so far, Ralph will have a cake draw at RG as well and may not even play Djokovic and thus pick up yet another cheap RG crown ala 2011.
 
Not gonna lie, Nadal does get stupidly nice draws A LOT, so I expect he'll get Tipsarevic in his quarter, with Federer in the same half to face Berdych in his last 8 match and Gulbis in the first round or something...

Even if he gets Tipsy in his draw, Tips is likely to retire from the match, so another quick practice for ******.

I get the feeling it will be something like this.

God mode Jerzy, Rosol, Tsonga, and Djokovic in Nadal's half of the draw. It would be quite the spectacle, I really want to see him work hard for a slam for once.

Sort of like how Fed worked hard to win 6 of his slams by facing slam final virgins, and 5 of his slams without ever facing a top 4 opponent?

Please let Janowicz be in the same bracket as Rafa...

I HOPE JJanowicz, LRosol and the others get lumped into RNadal's draw too, so RNadal can pummel their face into the clay. Hopefully RNadal destroys their confidence for good, or at least keep coming back for another thumping, just like RFederer. :-P

You HOPE for everything don't you? You probably thought it was the greatest move ever for Nadal to lose to Rosol, because it would enable him to return with a vengeance and 'win 2013'. If Nadal loses in the FO this year, you will proclaim it was the best result possible, because it will spur him on to win Wimbledon and US Open to diversify his Slam-surface repertoire and come ever-closer to GOAT-dom. For you, everything that happens to Nadal is the best thing ever.

Anyway, I predict Nadal's path to victory will be;

R1: Ramos
R2: Troicki
R3: Stephanek
R4: Tipseravic
QF: Paire
SF: Almagro
F: Berdych
 
Yeah, Federer and Nadal will be in the same half, guranteed. If not, the very least they'll do is put Berdych in Federer's quarter, whom he has no chance of beating.

Classic, and so dead-on. Nadal vs. Almagro for the 9843983498th time, guaranteed.

I thought the draw had been released and this was a first round match. My heart skipped a beat. I've been praying for this match up. Damn you! :twisted:

Interesting, weren't you spot on last year regarding Nadal draw? Or is the memory playing tricks on me :)
