US Open draw:

Nadal:

R1 Coric
R2 Schwartzman or Qualy
R3 Fognini
R4 Raonic
QF Djokovic
SF Nishikori or Ferrer

Federer:
R1 Mayer
R2 Baghdatis
R3 Kohlschreiber
R4 Karlovic/Isner
QF Berdych/Gasquet
SF Murray/Wawrinka
F Djokovic

Djokovic:
R1 Souza
R2 Pospisil
R3 Seppi
R4 Goffin
QF Nadal (o Raonic)
SF Nishikori
F Federer

Murray:
R1 Kyrgios
R2 Mannarino
R3 Bellucci
R4 Anderson
QF Wawrinka
SF Federer
F Novak

Looks like Federer has similar draw like 2012 when he got knocked by Berdych in QF.
He should be relatively fresh this year but age is not in his side.
Nevertheless a tough draw. Looks like its Novak's trophy to lose.
Have a feeling Nadal may finally come thru' this one as a dark horse!!

You might never know. I for one however find it incredibly difficult to see Nadal getting through Djokovic. This has traditionally been the worst part of the season for him and I really cannot see him having a resurgence like the one he had in 2013. He won both the follow up events that year and made a clean sweep at the US Open.
As for Federer, I don't know what to expect of him for this one. An SF appearance looks highly probable and then it's anybody's game. Berdych's looked spent all year and apart from Isner, I dont think anybody can cause him much trouble.
