Roger controlling the seeds

Roger Federer is a magician - we know he can manipulate matches in which he participates, but he also has the mystical power to control outcomes of other contests.

This year at the Australian Open, he has so far arranged for all the seeded players drawn to meet him to be defeated.

Drawn to meet Hubert Hurkacz (31) in the third round 
- Hurkacz beaten by John Millman ranked 47 in the second round

Drawn to meet Denis Shapovalov (13) in the round of sixteen 
- Shapovalov beaten by Marton Fucsovics ranked 67 in the first round

Drawn to meet Matteo Berrettini (8) in the quarter finals 
- Berrettini beaten by Tennys Sandgren ranked 100 in the second round

If Roger makes the semi finals, he will not have played a seeded player in reaching the final four.
