Federer, Nadal to clash early in Cincinnati

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are very close in the Cincinnati draw.

The tennis legends need to win just a couple of matches to play a blockbuster quarter at the Western & Southern Open.

The top seeds are Djokovic, Federer, Murray, Nishikori, Wawrinka, Berdych, Cilic and Nadal.

The most interesting first rounds are Janowicz vs. Monfils, Gasquet vs. (bad boy) Kyrgios and Isner vs, Querrey (pity it’s so early).

Projected quarters

Djokovic – Wawrinka
Nishikori – Berdych
Cilic – Murray
Nadal – Federer

The defending champion is Roger Federer that last year has defeated Ferrer in the final. Ferrer will not be able to play due to an injury to his elbow.
