Novak should feel alright too...he will play into form until Wawrinka, and even then there is no guarantee Stan will be there.

It's a good draw for Novak. I was hoping he could avoid Wawrinka, but its a better quarter and half than Nadal's.

Tomic-Nadal first rounder is for sure the one to watch, no? I mean, nobody expects Tomic to win, but just because this is down under and all...

Yes, that's a match I'd like to see. Tomic is a bit of a home crowd player, he may have a shot at taking a set or something.

Very true, Murat!

Even though the top half is heavy loaded, I still think Nadal will come through and reach at least the Quarterfinals. I'm just hoping Nadal doesn't play long matches until the later stages of the tournament.

Well Murray is still a question mark but if he gets the QF he probably beats Roger if he makes it. Berd would beat Roger no questions asked at this point. Hopefully Tsonga and Murray get upset.

Roger can see Stak in the second or third round...REVENGE!!!! Or not...

So it could be Roger-Tsonga in round 4 and then if he survives that he'd get Murray?

Cilic might take Jo out in round 3...

Djokovic's path isn't that rough. Nadal's got DP, but I'm not worried about anyone else in his quarter. (And not that worried about Delpo.) Murray's got a load of qualifiers, and should make to either Isner or Tsonga? Fed should make it to that QF. (Stepanek is always tricky, but still, and I don't think Stakhovsky repeats.)

Hopefully he stocks up on those prescriptions!

All the action is in Nadal's half. Im probably not even going to bother watching on the other days. Maybe I'll see a match or two of Novak if I have some spare time.

Looks like Novak has a good draw. Maybe some challenges from Gulbis and stan. He will then kill David.

Rafaaa gets old man Hewitt, then DelPo ... then Tsonga, Fed or Isner.

Im scurred.

The only likely trouble in Djokovic's quarter is the unreliable Gulbis. If they see each other, Gulbis takes a set and folds. :cry

As far as my fellow Canadians are concerned, Milos has to go through Dimitrov to make it to Delpo. Possible? Maybe...Popsicle, on the other hand, has Wawrinka right around the corner, and than Gasquet...well, you want to be the best, you got to beat the best.

All of this if he gets past Stepanek in R2. Brutal

Federer has to face Duckworth first!
