Looks like Fed could have a heavy early second week. Dolgo is not the easiest of opponents but should be okay.

Apart from Del Potro, Djokovic's draw looks okay to me. Thiem is probably the best potential QF opponent, and he avoids dangerous floaters such as Kyrgios, Dimitrov, Raonic.

Nadal has some good servers in his section, so that's good news for most of us!
Who are "most of us"? you should be be concerned about Novak and not about Nadal who has not played on grass for two years

Rafa fans should breathe a sigh of relief - he looks like he has a pretty easy section. He could face Khachanov in the 3rd round, the maybe either Karlovic or Muller in the 4R, then Cilic/Nishikori in the QF. But no Dimitrov, Zverev, Kyrgios, etc, until the SF or later.
I don't see that easy section but.......
I think the draw is more or less even for the four top players

Oh come on don't be silly. Not the whole world is fan of Nadal. And its not a fedal world either.

Moaning about the fact that not the majority of the board is a Nadal fan, pathetic.

That's true..I am a JowillieTs fan, I admire Novak's game and likes how smooth Federer plays.

There are just as many Nadal fans here IMO. I think there are some neutral posters you're just classifying as Fed fans. The old tennis.com and tennisfrontier board was almost all Nadal fans at one point.

Pretty balanced, I didn't get a chance to see Djoker's quarter though. On paper Fed's draw would be tough any other year but Dimitrov, Raonic and Djoker aren't in good form coming in. If he plays like he should he wins this event IMO

Djoker got a very tricky draw.

Certainly some rightwing conservatives here. Not all of them fed fans. Can only think of britbox and federberg. Then there is Retardo and calitennis, but they are no fedfans.

Even that I didn't know too much about him, this time I put more attention to Khachanov, he played well vs Roger, he has strong shots and serve, he can be a very tricky player
