Federer is on Djokovic's side of the draw so would have another SF match to go with their many, many previous here.

Federer said he is the best he felt in some time at Flushing Meadows, bit weird to say that when he lost in the 3R of Cincinnati so I have a feeling that is an attempt at self-deception.

Djokovic has Medvedev on his side of the draw also, after being him at Cincinnati.

Carballes Baena of Spain first up for Nole.

Federer has Nagal of India in the first round. You're fooling nobody, Rafa.

'Nadal' has Millman of Australia who is good for a bit of ball bashing and took out Fed at the US Open last year.
