What is the easiest projected draw for your US Open pick to have?

[drwood]

Similar to akv89's thread, what is the easiest projected draw for your US Open pick to have? Remember that Fed and Murray will be on opposite sides of the draw as the top 2 seeds.

I'll start.

My Pick = Roddick

Easiest projected draw he could have:

R128 = Odesnik
R64 = Melzer (owns him H2H)
R32 = Blake
R16 = Robredo or Monfis
QF = Djoker
SF = Murray
F = Nadal (after Nadal beats Fed in SF)

 

[Serendipitous]

1. Federer

2. Mauresmo

3. Mirka

4. Gulbis

5. Nadal Freak

6. Murray

7. Win by default (because Nadal injured his hindquarters)

That's a hell of a tough easiest draw for Roddick.

It is possible for one to have a draw composed of players ranked outside the top 100 if all the top players somehow lose early. Something along the lines of:

WC

Qualifier

That's why I said easiest PROJECTED draw

You projected nadal to beat federer. He projects qualifiers to beat top seeds. There is no difference there.

I think Roddick's easiest draw will only have him beating either Djoko or Murray but not both. I don't think Nadal will make it past the quarters and if Fed gets upset by some 10-20ish ranked player in the 3rd or 4th round is possible then that would be the easiest path for him imo.

Roddick needs to avoid Delpo and Fed at all costs.
