I must admit I was not aware of this thread especially given that it was opened as early as December 2013! lol

Have you guys voted? I guess we don't have enough people to do that but maybe we will in the future.

I never vote really since I like observing things as they play out rather than predicting it. Other times it's just too easy to know it though you don't want to get too caught up on that.

I don't vote in polls on other forums, but I will here for the sake of solidarity.

Not that it matters, since I'm only voting with my heart and not using any sort of statistical analysis.

General hercules, here is the scoop on the draw:

Qualifying draw: Monday, May 19, 6:00 p.m.  TODAY!

Main draw: Friday, May 23, 11:30 a.m.

So the main draw is just 4 days and a few hours from now.

I'll put this info in post #1 as well.

Respectfully,

You have that right general hercules.

Wonder which halves #3 Wawrinka and #4 Federer will fall into?
Will it be like the AO, or the reverse?  Personally, I'd like to see the reverse this time, but I don't know if either or both will make it to the semis.

Nadal vs Wawrinka and Djokovic vs. Federer  semis or even the reverse would probably make the sponsors and fans of those players happy.

Federer still has monster game. and we all know that he can be a beast on clay.

now he just has to go out there and do his thing in Paris.

Agree. People better not take Federer for granted. He is a beast on clay, and he's rested. Not good for the field.

General hercules, Lady TT, I have no idea how Roger Federer will play at Roland Garros. 

Physically he is probably fine, but he is probably undercooked a bit in match play which leaves him susceptible to upsets if he is rusty early against the wrong player. 

Mentally, who knows what planet he is on after the birth of his twin sons?  It might take hims some time to find his mental equilibrium again, maybe not. 

I would hope for him to make it at least to the QF at Roland Garros, and then play well in Halle, perhaps a final, and be ready for a full assault at Wimbledon with enough match play, and being relatively rested, he should be tough to beat there.  But again, who knows? 

Anything more he does is gravy on his plate.  He's probably playing more for the fun of it at this point, though he has done some serious conditioning, so it's obviously not without effort to be fit enough to do well.  Doesn't seem to be taking his losses in the finals too hard, though I thought he didn't look so happy after his upset to Chardy in Rome.  We'll see what happens. 

It's a major life change to add two more children to the family, but if anyone can handle it, it is multitasking Roger Federer, with the great help of his wife, family, and friends of course. ;)   He could retire this year, and I wouldn't be surprised, or he could go on till 40 and I wouldn't be surprised either.

Respectfully,

Federer has such a big game that he can make the quarters and the semis of any slam he pleases.

all that is required is that he is healthy and fit. the man is still armed with immense motivation.


some people have pointed out that he will be a factor at this Wimbledon.

Yes, general hercules, Federer has a big game.  Question is with the birth of his twins, will he be ready?

It seems he went to Roland Garros early this year after his early loss in Rome. 

Here is Federer in game practice with the talented Grigor Dimitrov - "Dynamitrov"



Looks like Grigor has some work to do.
