Or maybe depending the result you will need the edema like many times you got before :lol6:

Doubt it this year. Unless you've forgotten, the despicable one is only ahead in the h2h on clay now.

So, what do you think about Novak's next opponents?
Not too interested in R1, 2. Del Potro should be fun, a little worried about Lopez, thiem shouldn't be a problem and fed is obviously going to be hard as hell.

I think he got an easy draw. Don't be too worry about Lopez, he has never done a good GS and Thiem is not doing well on grass

I am not too worried.
You might however want to check Lopez results at sw19 and perhaps check out his game on grass generally.

Novak has the tougher draw of the big 4 btw, but you know that.

If JJ had a head, he would have won Wimby by now.

Good to see Fog win the first round. So much talent. Another player who would have done much better if he had a head.

Seriously I don't think he has the tougher draw. Delpo has not played for long time and he still has some issues, and Lopez and Thiem I told you already why. Roger? we'll see how far he will go but yes, he seems to be his tougher opponent so far

His past is enough for me to be interested in his round 3/4/qf matches. My bet is on Cilic, but I hope Muller makes it to R4, that should be interesting as well.
Is Kachanov good enough to do the job?

Too bad about Haas. I was hoping to see him win at least a couple matches.

Stan never ever has played well on grass and I doubt he will do

Typical Stan, and now everyone will count him out which means he will be dangerous at USO again.

I hope you aren't comparing Nole drawing this Roger to Nadal being slated to face Murray and pretending that's the same. Nole has by far the easiest QF but by far the worst SF, and a pretty tough 3rd and 4th round IF the seeds play out.

I actually have not really seen him play on grass, but he is huge and has a big forehand. Defintely expect the least of him compared to Muller or Cilic, but still interesting because he's new and therefore could surprise us.

So tomorrow Djokovic starts his campaign. I'm a bit more optimistic since RG. Has he stopped that crap with the ballboys and the crowd after a win yet? That stuff should go. I didn't watch the end of the matches at Eastbourne.

And who has Roger? by the way since now to the SF who knows who will be there, do you know who?

I don't think that someone wanted to have Cilic in his draw but unfortunately Rafa got it.

Djoker has Roger. And you're right it is just a draw. We all know there will be big upsets, already saw a couple today, so who knows what the path will end up being. It's not worth complaint about especially when the draw is actually pretty balanced to begin with.

I just can't with Peter Bodo these days. "The player who can handle that serve can deny him control.." No crap, Sherlock. And then he lists Djokovic's 2 finals wins as examples? It was Roger's lousy break point conversion rate (3/7 in 2015, 4/15 in 2014) that lost him those 2 matches (and the 2015 US Open and several French Opens as well!) NOT Djokovic excessively getting to his serve. And getting to Fed's serve when he's in rhythm is easier said than done. Ask Andy Roddick about his 50 aces nightmare. Or Murray who saw 22 aces whiz by him in 2015 - in 3 sets. Or Nadal who just watched 20 aces sail by him at the AO - 3 in the final game.

Roger's first match is actually a very tricky one against Dolgopolov. Quite a bit harder than John freakin' Milkman.
