He said it when he was asked about being the favorite.

Well all three of those things are objectively true. He didn't say he thought they were better players.

Well done Fed, a quite Nadalesque statement :-)

No kidding. Feds knows that if he has a solid return day, he's winning in straights. If not, then he'll have to grind it out, move Berdych as much as he can, keep the ball deep into the corners as often as possible and let the pressure do it's thing on Thomas. Then hope Cilic and SamQ go 5!

He will need to stay on the baseline and keep the ball low ( he needs spin day) and he has been doing great job doing this. If he played back and the ball went little high to the strike zone of these tall players Federer will be dismissed.
Of course he needs to return well.
