Will Novak Djokovic be in Rafael Nadal's half of the Wimbledon draw this year? Because in the Australian Open, Djokovic was in Federer's half, right? How does this system work?

  1. Well i think he will be. Rafa always seems to get a really tough draw at wimbledon lol Roger will get a easy ticket to the final. Anyway even if Novak is in Rafa`s draw at wimby it`ll be good for him a tough match for sure, but it`ll make him stronger when he makes it through to the wimby final.


  2. he might or might not be. He might not be because in melbourne, djokovic was in fed's half of the draw. in paris djoker was in rafa's, so it could be possible. one thing's for sure; neither rafa nor fed will want to see novak in their half of the draw.

  3. Nobody knows actually. Sometimes they but 2nd and 3rd seed in the same half and 1st and 4th in the other one, sometimes 3rd and 1st seed. I guess there is some kind of draw for that, too.

  4. its possible they might be in the same draw...... very likely.... that will be a good match for them..

  5. no idea

  6. It is either based on two systems their ranking I'm assuming with the Australian Open, United States Open and the French Open with Wimbledon its a different case.  They rank you according to how good you are on their grass surface.  Novak Djokovic was World No 3 and he faced Roger Federer in the semi at the Australian Open.  In the French Open however he was No 2.

  7. The draw at the grand slams, and every tournament on both the ATP and WTA except for the year-end championships (which uses a round-robin format for the elite eight players who qualify), is done randomly.  This means that at Wimbledon for example, the #1 (Federer) and #2 (Nadal) seeds are automatically placed in opposite halves, but after that the other seeds are randomly drawn into either the top half or the bottom half.  This means that in the semis, the #1 and #2 seeds could draw either the #3 (Djokovic) or #4 (probably Davydenko) seeds, and in the quarters the #1 through #4 seeds could draw any of the #5 through #8 seeds, and in the 4th round the #1 through #8 seeds could draw any of the #9 through #16 seeds, and in the third round,  the top 16 seeds could draw any of the #17-32 seeds. While a random draw doesn't assume that  in the semis the #1 will always play #4, or #2 will always play #3, what this system does ensure is that the top 2 won't have to play each other until the final, if they can both get there, and that the top 4 wouldn't meet each other until the semis, the top 8 until the quarters, and so on.  The other  96 non-seeded players in the draw could end up in anybody's section of the draw in the first round, which means #1 could face a player ranked as high as #33 (thus not seeded) or as low as the lowest ranked qualifier or wildcard, or two qualifiers could end up playing each other in the first round, scenarios which often happen in the slams that sometimes produce not only big first round upsets but also a chance for a complete unknown to advance pretty far into the draw.

  8. they pick out players to put in federer's and nadal's draw he might be in Federer's draw

  9. It doesn't matter actually because Novak is gonna make it into final no matter if he plays Nadal or Fed in the SF
