Men: AO- Djokovic FO- Nadal W- Federer USO- Djokovic Women: AO- Serena FO- Li Na W- Serena USO- Azarenka

Sounds a little bland. Any idea what colour Nadal's shorts will be, and are they still 7"?

Just about anything could happen here, about time Rafa won a non-clay major so hopefully he pulls it off.

If Stan plays like he did against Murray then we're in for a treat, but I don't see him sustaining that level for back to back matches against top three players unfortunately. Djokovic in four.

Don't think so, nowhere near mentally strong enough. Much like a lot of his fellow countrymen, a shame as all of Paire, Tsonga, Monfils and maybe Gasquet have the talent to win at least one. I think we will have to wait a little longer for another French male major champion unless Paire makes...

If he gets to the semis and plays a competitive match against Djokovic, that'll be enough for me to remain hopeful there are more slam wins in him.

His athleticism is unreal at times, he can get back so many balls in the same point that other players wouldn't get close to. When I watch his matches, this is what I look forward to seeing most so I would definitely say his athleticism is his greatest strength.

1. Djokovic 2. Nadal 3. Murray 4. Federer 5. Del Potro 6. Tsonga 7. Ferrer 8. Berdych

Definitely the channel slam, two surfaces with the biggest differences and much less time to adapt from the clay to grass.

Should be interesting to see how Fed fares with the new racquet.

He's got a shot at number 2 for sure, but can't see both Djokovic and Murray losing enough points to both go behind him when every big tournament from now is on a hardcourt. If he has a good rest of 2013 and makes a big impact in Melbourne, then number one will be a major possibility.

I accidentally knocked into Xavier Malisse at Wimbledon in 2011, and got a smile from Genie Bouchard the year after when she won the girls title.

I've always thought his peak in terms of play was 2008 and early 2009, but statistically 2010 probably was due to winning three majors. 2010 was when none of Federer, Djokovic or Murray were playing particularly well though, so I don't feel Nadal had to play his peak tennis to win those majors...

How many US Open champions do we need? Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Janowicz... I agree with this one though, he'll be up for some revenge on Murray after Wimbly and I can't see anyone else beating him.

Someone's been listening to too much Andrew Castle it seems... Seriously though, big congrats to Andy he was comfortably the better player on the day and fully deserved it.

I certainly don't think they're the model fans many people like to think they are, but they're not the worst set either. Anyone who got really angry about the fans here should probably avoid the final, as it's only gonna get worse.

9/10, probably got number 6 wrong.

Cilic goes a set and a break up, remembers he's Murray's lapdog and does a USO12 style choke. That or Murray plays like he did in the last set yesterday and wins in straights. Either way Murray wins.

Might as well flip a coin to predict who would win. Too close to call for me.

Never seen Sijsling before, looks a half decent player. Not impressed with Tsonga at all though.

It was about the fifth post in this entire thread, about 5 days before the match... I'll bear that in mind for the future anyway though :)

Just remembered I posted this, couldn't have got much closer with the upset call...

Strange... Hope he's alright, tennis is so much more fun with guys like him around.

As a fan of Nadal it would be hard for me not to score it a 10, but from a neutral perspective it would maybe get a 6 or 7. Not amazing, but certainly not the worst major of recent times.

Weren't people saying that about Djokovic in 2011 after he lost to Federer? We all know what happened there... Having said that I still rate Nadal and Murray as the favourites, with Federer and Djokovic pretty even after them.

Cheers for the info bt and Fedzie. Sounds like a great line!

Always loved Queen's, wish Rafa had carried on playing there instead of switching to Halle. Still a very strong field this year, looking at the draw I fancy Murray to regain his title, would be amazed if he didn't at least make the semis. Anyone else see Del Potro losing to Malisse in his opener?

OP, do you genuinely think Tipsarevic, Gasquet, Haas or Raonic has a better chance than Federer? Seems a little rude to shove him down to fifth in the poll options, could at least have given the R and F capital letters as well.

Why has Shriekapova changed her grunt for this match? Quite hideous...

Welcome back once again :) Anyone know if Nadal is wearing the same shorts for AO and post-AO, sounds like that might be the case based on the colours of his shirts? And are Fed's shirts polos or crews?
