I Love eating those aussie burgers. they are the best in the world. I really enjoyed it among other fine things at the open. Ahhhhhh, how i miss that place.:)
 
Have a feeling Murray will take out Djokovic, nadal will beat Federer and then will steamroller Murray as he melts down in a final again.
 
Dudes and Gals.....It the 100th Austalian Open....Gonna be something special down under.

Federer will do the impossible for the 5th time.
 
I've narrowed it down to Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, or perhaps Tsonga, man this is tough..from that group, I'll take Nadal to win the 2012 AO.

Nice plan! But looking at Murray's draw, he will be lucky to even get to Djoko... He's gonna need all the inspiration he can get from Lendl to make it through that one :-?

well i don't actually want this to happen, but i just have a feeling it could.Murray is certainly good enough to get to Djokovic, and I would be surprised if he does have to play all those guys that he could - someone will be upset and the draw will become easier. And if he does get through them all and make the final his hardship in getting there will sethim up to be taken down easily. I could be waaaaaaay off, it's just a hunch.
 
He can't afford to lose another slam final. I think if he gets there, he will give it everything he has and more.
 
he will give it everything, but if he does have to play several tough matches, i don't know how much he'll have to give. Well see
 
Eh, out of the top guns, I'm pulling for Federer. I usually prefer watching the early round matches of the slams though. Get to see all of my headcase favorites get knocked out :) For me though, it's the far more interesting tennis than blowouts or the usual Fedal/Djokal/watever matchups
 
I'm picking Federer over Novak (don't know why), and I think that Murray's going to have a hard time with Tsonga.
 
AO is my favorite slam! Expecting a great tourney this year. I think the top 4 are all solid contenders (perhaps Djok and Murray have a slight edge), and Tsonga and Ferrer could bring a couple of surprises... apart from these six I don't see anyone else winning.
 
some nice looking first round matches:
Mahut-Stepanek
Roddick-Hasse
Troicki-Ferrero
Kohlschreiber-Monaco
Tomic-Verdasco

and some even better potential 2nd rounders:
Roddick-Hewitt
Youzhny-Gasquet
Wawrinka-Baghdatis

Can't look past the top four.
I go with the seedings for the title though.

However, I will be rooting for Murray, then Federer.
 
I wonder if Tomic had his saying regarding the schedule as under normal circumstances his match vs Verdasco should have been a night session match.
It`s doubtful that Federer playing against a qualifier will make it for a long evening.
 
Omg I've just noticed the AO matches are listed on the bet365 schedule! They never usually have rights to show slams. I wonder who'll be commentating...? :D

Add in Hewitt vs Stebe, I think this match will be a great 1st rounder.

Murray Federer final where the true grand slam pigeon Murray again shows his head and loses in straights

I would love to see a Federer Murray final. Either Federer beating Murray in straights. Everyone makes fun of Murray and MurrayTards blame Lendl.

All the hate will be on Murray...and they will forget that it takes time for Lendl to change Murray attitude.

Or Murray beating Federer in 5. I want to see Federer arrogant words after he lost. Murray rubbing Federer,saying that it was Federer is nothing to him. All mayhem across the boards of Federer is done since he lost a slam to Murray. Then there will also threads about Murray goatness and finally winning a slam.

My head says that it will be a Federer vs Djokovic or Nadal vs Djokovic final.

Yeah, that would look cool if you're talking about a 16 time slam winner. :confused::shock:[

Yep yep, good matches all around tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to watching Dimitrov as well, I believe court 8 is televised.
 
Thx for the list LG.

Televised courts for the AO are RLA, Hisense, MCA, Show Court 2, Show Court 3 and Courts 6 & 8.

12hrs to go ;)
 
FloFlo Mayer has withdrawn with a hip injury, noooo :cry: Lucky Loser is De Voest who plays Lu in the 1st round.
 
Extremely excited for Grand Slam play!!!!

first round upsets.....


I've trolled him for a while but I'm rooting for Murray to take his maiden slam before Oli Golding becomes the Brit GOAT.
