So What Quarter Final Are You Hoping To See?

Now that the All England Club has decided that Nadal will be seeded at five what quarter final would you like to see?

Also imagine you had final tickets would you swap them for your chosen quarter final?

Decided? I thought they were following the rules?

If I was to pair the top 8 off, let's see.

Nadal v Federer
Ferrer v Tsonga
Berdych v Djokovic
del Potro v Murray

Yes they are following the rules, there was no decision to be made.

Is the only choice one with Rafa in it?

This poll is about a potential quarter final resulting from Nadal being seeded at five. Of course there will be three other quarter finals but that's not what this poll is about. The other three quarters could end up being more interesting...

Glad I'm not misreading the rules.

I was teasing

Seriously, while all tennis players are clearly not equal, in terms of rules and systems then they really must be on a level playing field - you can't operate a system where all tennis players are equal but some are more equal than others (apologies to GO)

Nadal v Murray

Nadal vs Djokovic or Nadal vs Murray. I don't think I want to see Nadal vs Federer because I have a feeling Federer will lose.

Nadal vs Djokovic.

I want the sternest test for Djoko and easiest path for Murray.

So

Hewitt - Djoko 1st round

Gulbis - DJoko 2nd round

Haas - Djoko 3rd round.

Raonic - Djoko 4th round

Nadal - Djoko Quarters

Djoko - Federer Semis
 and

Djoko  - Murray finals

That would be my dream line up. 

The way he's been playing Raonic will be lucky if he make the 4th Round. Also, I think Haas in R3 is impossible.

I went for Nadal vs Murray but in reality I would be happiest if Nadal lost before QF and we ended up with something like Haas vs Murray instead

Lost to Dodig at Eastbourne. :(He is becoming more a clay courter and less an all court player.

Tomic, by the same token, seems to be doing better. He may even take out Simon, the way Simon played against Edmunds.

PS: Apologies, HE, for an off-topic comment.

First and foremost, I want Nadal to get beaten by somebody.

However, I said Nadal vs. Ferrer because assuming they all get there I don't want to see someone with a genuine chance (Djoko/Murray) or a genuine Wimbledon pedigree (Fed) facing Nadal in the QF any more than I want him to face a big gun in the QF if he gets there.

Ha ha! I think you got a little carried away. You only had to say what quarter final match up you wanted not your whole dream tournament. Haven't you dreamt the score in the final yet?

As a neutral I would have said Nadal v Murray. It's the big match we've not seen in two years, and it would be interesting to see how they match up now. 

As a Murray fan, it's the last match I want to see... So I'd say Nadal v Djokovic so they can kick lumps out of each other.

Nadal v Federer. No longer the big match up it once was. Will have the situation where the old master is a big underdog on a surface where he should still have the edge in technical terms. Could see Federer edging a classic.

I want to see Nadal v. Fed in the quarters because I would like to read Hawkeye's outrage.

Good lord she'd spontaneously combust if Nadal drew Ferrer.....and lost.
