I'm not sure how Nadal is "likely" to win a slam on hard after not practising at all for 4 months + . Let's stay in touch with reality here... (not that I would mind of course)

I went for Djokovic, but it wouldn't surprise me if Nadal came back with a bang.

Not his biggest fan (much because of the Vamos Brigade), but absolutely cannot wait to have Nadal back.

The thought of Nadal, RF, Cvac and Murra all playing somewhere near their best is mouthwatering..really hoping for an epic Wimbledon Championship.

I'll be at the Aussie Open from Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th.

Thursday - Ground Pass
Friday - Rod Laver Arena
Saturday - Rod Laver Arena

I'm picking Murray but hope Federer wins.

Can't wait.

Nadal a bigger favorite that Federer....when he has not played for 6 months?

Murray will be back to his non slam winning ways.

AO is Djokovic's second home: slow high-bouncing courts for this Western grip.

Murray is using SW, relies on his serve more, needs a lower bounce for his slice to work. And, don't forget, he is still a one-slam wonder.

I agree the court suits Djokovic way better. It was still very close last year though.

Yes because the majority of the tour still haven't quite dealt with his moonballing except maybe Djokovic. Maybe Murray too but he chokes at the first sign of MP.

And AO is too slow for Olderer.

Now that he's broken the slam duck,its better if he wins coz that would mean his hero Ralph wont win outside clay.

He hasn't played in another slam since the USO yet so how could he be anything other than a one-slam winner? It is not like he is Andy Roddick. He'll win more slams. The differences between Murray and Djokovic are miniscule.

Gonna be a lot of late nights for the Aus-O, damn time difference. Will be my first while in full time employment as well, which is bound to be gruelling.

Can't wait though, they should be scribing Murra's name on the trophy already.

Federer is the only player in the top 4 with no chance of winning the Australian Open.

I think Nadal is the one with no chance to win the AO. Djokovic or Murray will win it. Bank on it.

Geez, a whole two months without serious tennis after DC. That's gonna be killing. Anyone knows the exact date of the first rounds? Looking forward to it, but taking a break till at least the new year.
