I don't think we really need to start yet another whole new discussion on rigged draws, but I thought I would just make a simple, open poll to see where people stand on this.
In theory, assuming a fair, unrigged draw, there is a 50/50 chance that the potential SF match-ups will be Djokovic/Ferrer & Federer/Nadal and a 50/50 chance they will be Djokovic/Nadal & Federer/Ferrer. In essence, with an unrigged draw, this polll is akin to asking you to predict the outcome of a coin toss.
However, the recent history of Slam draws has many people suspecting (myself included) that draws may not be untainted and common sense suggests organizers have a huge incentive (more than any Slam in recent memory) to place Nadal and Djokovic in different halves. As a result, I'm expecting a completely lop-sided poll result even though this is in theory like choosing between "heads" and "tails".
Cast your vote for what you think will happen and we'll see how it turns out tomorrow.
