If Fed himself got to choose I'm 95% certain he'd take Ferrer even in their current states. Ferrer is a hardworker but he doesn't have the weapons to hurt Federer. His serve isn't dangerous either and Fed will always feel confident even when he gets behind.
If he gets behind vs a powerful player with a lethal 1st serve like Berdych he might not get many chances to get back in the set. Always more dangerous
As Federer can only play Djokovic or Ferrer now, if given the choice, Federer would take Ferrer, regardless of the form of Djokovic. Djokovic could turn up and give a damn and then Federer could be in for a tough 2 hours. Ferrer in contrast is one of Fed's turkeys. The H2H is 10 or 11 - 0.
Federer knows he is favourite vs Ferrer but also he will have to play a tough match with lots of rallies and surely he wants to be fresh for the final.Against Djokovic it could be a quick match if the serb isn`t playing up to par.
