Our prediction of when Roger Federer will play is based on the following info:- Current ATP ranking points (#3) - same ranking and seeding as in 2017.

9/4 QF (Nishikori ), 9/6 SF (Djokovic), 9/8 (Nadal)
The biggest question is whether it will be during the day session or evening session on those dates.
If you want to be absolutely sure you catch him on the day you attend, then I recommend buying both a Day and an evening ticket. Sell the one that he won't be playing.
He is about an 80% chance he gets put into mostly Evening Sessions.Typically the men's match is the 2nd match of the night, which starts immediately after the women's match opener that begins at 7pm.
The other best chance to see Federer on the practice courts during the day. He will at least practicing on P1-P5 before any match. Any of these Day tickets will allow you to see many more matches than the evening session. Valid 11AM until ~5PM+.
