With Medvedev out, Federer has a Mickey Mouse draw with only green Hurkacz and Berrettini to reach his #13 Wimbledon Final.
Hurkacz will choke - or bend over - against Federer, and do you remember the infamous beatdown two years ago against Berrettini ? The italian will fare better of course but it will be still a 3-4 sets win for Federer.
Shapovalov is the only one to have the game and the balls to beat Djokovic and avoid a Fedovic final (and we know how a Fedovic final will finish : a formality for Djokovic). Kachanov is a mug of the highest order and no way Fucsovics beat him.
It's simple :
- If Shapovalov wins : #21 for Federer with a routine win against Shapovalov and GOAT status protected.
- If Shapovalov lose : #20 for Djokovic with a routine win against Federer and GOAT status cemented with the DCGS and weeks of #1. And 0-4 for Federer against his biggest rival in Wimbledon Finals.
