CAMELOT FANTASIES

So Jerzy is out and in straight sets to Mayer. Well better him, an experienced player, than Jerzy and Mayer has a much better record against Ferrer too. 

Not surprised Robredo won. Just so you know, Wawrinka will find his hands full against Robredo as he leads Stan a whopping 6-1 in the H2H. So Nole's chances are getting better and better to make the final without much trouble. And Querrey couldn't take a set off Fognini so that even make things better for Nole.

Berdych's draw looks good too now that Anderson had to come off a 5 setter. In this heat, I am not sure how much is left in the tank.

I keep telling you this but you are only now just realizing it:

nole is the hottest player on the planet and he is also on his best surface. nole has now won 27 matches in a row.



its nadal who has the toughest draw and nadal is NOT on his best surface.


still I am sticking to my guns: I am picking nadal over nole in the final should that final take place.

and I am calling it an upset.



anyway I think you are right about robredo: he is tough as nails against wawrinka. robredo is just amazing as he is pushing32.

he is the one who removed Federer from the facilities at flushing meadows.

so robredo still has some magic left.

You've got to be kidding me, herc. Nole isn't the hottest player in the world and Nadal doesn't have the toughest paper.

Nole is always ruthless to these lesser ranked players but once he meets his match - be it Andy or Nadal, he's a different player - especially lately And he then lacks both confidence and consistency. I mean this is a fact. All you have to do is look at the previous Slams and see who beat whom to win those.

And Nadal's draw is and was only hard on papers. In reality it all fizzled out a bit too quickly- all that fuss - he didn't even play the whole match against Tomic.

Chances are, Nole will  meet Wawrinka in the QTR,, Andy will meet either Tsogna or Federer in his QTR if he survives today and Ferrer would meet with Berdcy, while Nadal would meet either Raonic or Dimitrov - or even Paire if Raonic and Dimitrov get into a marathon match. And that will leave Nadal's QTR as the weakest one. And then there are other possibilities. For instance, Murray might not even make the semi and if that happens then Nadal is having a cakewalk to the final and that's the reality of it. Who cares about what the draw was when one didn't even get to play any one of the worthy opponents, right. Not me.
