Poor Philipp

At least he'll make the 3rd round.

And I love the prospect of a potential RG final rematch in the fourth round.

**bikersfan** · 06-19-2009, 02:25 PM

Here's hoping for Odesnik-Roddick! It could happen!

**masteryxisman** · 06-19-2009, 02:49 PM

Lucky frenchies

LA Clé meets Rafa (if Rafa palys ...)
Chardy meets Roddick !
Bennet meets Djoko
Fabrice meets Blake

oh well, at least the first round will be fun and I shall be able to see on a feed how my boys get eliminated ...

Philipp never catches a break at a Slam draw. I'm convinced if there was a formula to calculate it, he'd be near the top in terms of percentage of difficulty in Slam opponents. (maybe I need to devise a formula to calculate this).

**anderriter** · 06-19-2009, 03:16 PM

Roddick-Dimitrov, if it happens, should be interesting!

I found this image, which makes viewing the draw more convenient:

Yup, unlucky for PEHK. If you're a 17-32 seed, it is a bit unlucky to end up in the same 1/16th as Nadal, Federer, Murray or Djokovic.

So, the bad luck guys would be Tursunov, Troicki, Kohlschreiber and Fish.

Good luck guys rated between 17 and 23 would probably be Stepanek and Schuettler.

Sort of an even draw for Rafa and Rog. Rafa gets Murray and Rodddick but Fed gets Djokie with Soderling lurking early. All is all, I guess Roger has the easier draw.

**bikersfan** · 06-19-2009, 03:33 PM

That is nice...

Wouldn't happen to have a women's one lying around, would you?

**viagraman** · 06-19-2009, 04:29 PM

Given the questions about Nadal's knee, it's appropriate that Roddick is in that quarter. He'd be a very suitable replacement for Nadal in the semis (and a patsy for Fed in the finals, if it comes to that). But if Nadal withdraws before they begin play, would they jig around the draw, with Del Potro moving up to Nadal's spot?

**gyjsdtuwr** · 06-19-2009, 04:32 PM

Rafa would face Hewitt in the 2nd round, who's just beaten him...

Not only that, but Roddick and Murray are on his side.

Yes.
someone posted the procedure the other day. If Rafa withdraws before play begins, #5 seed takes his spot in the draw, #17 moves to the spot vacated by #5, and the player next to be seeded (#33) moves to the spot vacated by #17. A lucky loser gets the remaining empty spot.

If Nadal withdraws before the order of play is out , Del Potro will take his place .

From wimbledon tweet:
If seeds 1-4 withdraw before order of play is released on Sunday, the fifth seed takes their place in the draw and 17 replaces 5.

**viagraman** · 06-19-2009, 04:57 PM

OKay, that's what I thought, but should the number 9 seed be included in the shuffle? Otherwise two of the top eight seeds (Verdasco and Tsonga) would be in the same section.

**r7rGOhvd** · 06-19-2009, 05:09 PM

From Wimbledon:

Marcos BAGHDATIS (CYP) has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a knee injury.
He is replaced by Karol BECK (SVK).

Michael KOHLMANN (GER) and Alexander WASKE (GER)
have withdrawn from the Wimbledon Doubles due to an injury to WASKE
They have been replaced by David MARTIN (USA) and Jean-Claude SCHERRER (SUI).

**icedrakona** · 06-19-2009, 05:13 PM

Tommy Robredo ESP (15) v Luka Gregorc SLO
Edouard Roger-Vasselin FRA v Stefan Koubek AUT
Dudi Sela ISR v Santiago Gonzalez MEX
Xavier Malisse BEL v Rainer Schuettler GER (18)

Not a bad draw for Santiago González at all. I don't think he could've asked for anything better.

**aliceingoogs** · 06-19-2009, 05:15 PM

I saw the update post from TAT and thought it was for Rafa's withdrawal. phew

Anyone know what time his press conference will be?

**Honealals** · 06-19-2009, 05:26 PM
