[The M.I.C.]

True. Both have benefited from easy draws in the past which happens when you're the #1 seed

Watch Rafa idiotically plays Acapulco when he should sit out until Indian Wells

One thing he should adopt from Fed is limiting his damn schedule..fukk the 500s. Focus on the Masters and Slams.

Tomas could wash (yes i said wash) Federer tomorrow.

He has a history of beating Fed, but not of late. The first two sets will really be telling.

Berdych is gonna do his thing and fold up like a lawn chair as is typical.

Exactly, you EARN that #1 spot you reap those benefits. Gotta beat whoever is in front of you. Roger deserves the path and playing times they give him this year.

Man is THE attraction everywhere except Madrid so of course he will play more prime time matches than anybody else

Berdych is Fed's pigeon in a BO5. Fed in 4 w/one being a TB

Exactly. He needs to Barcelona or Madrid but since they're clay tournies AND in Spain, he won't.

Drop the China Open too

ima gonna be if Wozniacki don't win this tourney.

I want Pliskova to win but we'll see

Not Fed's fault the others faultered on the way, he is just beating the guys put in front of him. I mean if he does make it to the final (which isn't a given) Cilic wouldn't be a walk over (if Cilic makes it)

He made Cilic cry last time they played

Man, if you dont gtfo with that bullshyt. Fed popped a gasket early in the second week with neutral weather.

It's been 100 plus degrees down in that bytch and they've been gifting Fed with late afternoon and evening matches this whole tourney.

When you're the GOAT you do what you want. He's paid his dues.

To keep it real, I'm lowkey scared that Berdych could upset him. He washed Del Po. Federer has beat Berdych 8 times in s row tho. Usually the matches aren't even competitive

I didn't watch the match, wtf happened to Rafa? New injury?

Except he isn't number 1. Rafa is.

I went to bed fully expecting Nadal to win in striaght sets. What the hell happened to him?

Who won AO last year??
They both deserve to play at night as much as possible. Fed had 1 Rafa I think had 2 day matches.

Upper leg injury. Exhausted his injury TO's and tried to give it a go but he was hurting. He honestly should of lost the 2nd set TB but Cilic overcooked an EASY FH that would have given em two set points. Rafa went down a break early in the 3rd and was physically done then.

Cilic form does look good enough to win it all tho if he doesn't have a damn brain cramp and bytch up like Wimbledon last year

Leg gave out.
