Someone said Federer's draw is easy, but Benneteau in R2 and Isner in R16, both best of three, is no cakewalk.

[zzbust]

Tipsy-Nalby again in R-1! haha

[Fuerfsanv]

Roddick/Nole a possible round 2 - given their history, that could be a good match. Ferru/Kohli as a 2nd round could also be a good one, since it is 2 Wimby '12 Quarterfinalists.

[RalfDweflywex]

Since it's best of three until the finals there's a significant chance of upsets. I'm not sure of counting on anything. Best of five the usual suspect guys are shoo-ins, but there have been many instances of going down 0-2 or 1-2 in slams and such.

Yep. Including Sir Roger ... just a few weeks ago ... very early in the tournament ... on these same courts. Love the best-of-3 for these Olympics.

Pretty even draw, I think, with the Ferrer quarter fortified by JMDP. I ain't counting Roddick out for a run to the semis.

[Waymninelia]

Plus, Roger obviously has a pretty weak, choker level record at the Olympics. Not at all convinced Roger is a shoo-in for a medal.

[Fuerfsanv]

Karlovic is out (foot) - Petzschner is replacing him in the draw.

[jagxj12]

I like Roger's draw for sure, but I'm worried anyway...

Yeah, this. Better to have Tipsarevic/Del Po instead of Tsonga/Berdych. Same with Ferrer instead of Murray. The draw gods are shining on him at Wimbledon this year. Fed fans should relax and start planning for the final.

Outcomes in the bottom half are a lot more questionable.
