My guess. Rafa always draws Shapovalov and Opelka.

That would be very fair and balanced.
Ruud < Tsitsipas
Alcaraz > FAA
Berrettini > Hurkacz
Norrie < Sinner
Schwartzman < Fritz
Cilic > Shapovalov
Carreno-Busta = Opelka (a servebot can always win or lose against almost anyone)

I don't think Alcaraz is greater than Felix or Berrettini is greater than Hurkacz. Opelka is far more dangerous than Carreno-Busta. At least for Rafa because Rafa swats PBC aside like a fly whilst PCB is a threat to Djokovic. I bet Rafa also ends up with all the big servers and Djokovic gets a free ride yet again.

Agreed. I think FAA and Berrettini eat Carlos alive on this surface

hope to avoid - Kygios, Murray, FAA, Alcaraz
Alcaraz doesn't bother me if Rafa has no fitness issues. Kyrgios will do his best to beat Rafa as we all know so it won't be easy but Rafa is 2:1 against him in slams - on grass and hardcourt. FAA has weapons and is not an easy draw for anyone unless Felix Shankalot turns up. Nadal vs Murray won't be any different to their previous encounters now that Murray has picked up his form. Rafa is 3:0 against him on grass, all at Wimbledon and Murray has only won one set.

Matches are not played on paper. We shall see.

Yes I agree for me it’s not if he can not beat those mentioned above but more about attrition just like FO horror it was the consistent grind that hurts his chances. In saying that he continues to amaze and come through it all but hoping not for a breeze but nothing horrific as we have seen previously.

You are probably right about Alcaraz as well he is more of an unknown quantity and I’m not as worried about him Vs FAA but if he is in that QF it will mean he has played well and is dangerous

It’s impossible to get both only 1 of the 2
No. The top and bottom halves will have two of 5-8, two of 9-12 and two of 13-16. I'll swap Alcaraz with Hurkacz because I'm sure Nadal vs Alcaraz will provide a lot of buzz for everyone.
