So it begins, a new year, a new decade. Best of luck in the final years of the maestro lets enjoy it while we can! Here is Federer potential path to the trophy:

R1: Johnson
R2: Krajinovic
R3: Hurkacz
R4: Shapovalov/Dimitrov
QF: Berretini/Fognini
SF: Djokovic/Tsitsipas
F: Nadal/Medvedev

A kind draw for Federer till the semis. Shapovalov/Hurcacz might prove to be problematic if he has an off day. But lets hope he comes out firing all cylinders.

Thanks for the thread!!

Here's a closer look at Roger's quarter:

 

[Jolyon]

Hurkacz and Dimitrov can trouble him. Then, maybe, Coric; but these days, he is Boric.

The veteran will babysit the rookie Shapovalov, should he face him. Berrettini and Fognini? It is a time for Martini.

Trying to watch Roger... Missed most of it first because I was going between my mom's place and home, then because my tv cable box isn't working right. finally found a stream.

Nice n' easy win by Roger. I didn't get to see much, people are saying Roger was good and Johnson really didn't have anything to challenge him with. Shapo is out.

 

[swissmaestro92]

Excellent start, he looked comfortable against Jhnson, very nice backhands in particular a good sign

 

[swissmaestro92]

good start against Krajinovic, 3-0

 

[swissmaestro92]

a set and a break up, very positive!

 

[swissmaestro92]

2 sets now 6-1, 6-4 Allez!

Super stuff by Fed! into R3

 

[Arvind S Chehtha]

Great opening two matches for Federer....Feel Millman will be a test...Potential banana skin and hopefully Federer's up for it.

 

[Kat_YYZ]

Saw the last set, Roger looking good!

 

[StingSuperior]

C'mon Roger.... Don't let lightning strike twice!

 

[swissmaestro92]

that was tooo much, what a legend!

Please play better against Fucsovics

What an escape. I thought he was done like a turkey at 4-8 in the super tiebreak. Millman was playing off his tree, swinging for the fences, guessing everything Roger was about to do, feeling zero pressure and everything was dropping in. And then somehow, Roger won the last 6 points. He played solid and didn't beat himself during those 6 points, and some luck probably went his way. Some positives- Roger didn't look too exhausted considering how long and physical that match was. In fact, I felt like Millman was also getting tired near the end, which is very, very rare and showed that Roger has put in a good amount of conditioning.

46 76(2) 64 46 76 (10-8)

This f*cking guy... 3 hours of sleep, 4 hours of gut-churning agony... Now off to work.
