Would like to see Andy back for sure. I don't think it's given to anyone at this point.

It will be interesting to see in what shape Andy arrives in the slam. Very.
Also Rafa, is he up for this? How much does AO mean for him? I have never heard he speak a lot about AO.
But history can be made, more to his legacy to be added.

Embla this slam has massive implications for history.


Andy can signal his return with a title run here.


nadal can tie Sampras with a title.

or nole can stay in the arms race by winning.

I think this becomes one of the most important slams of our times.

Just watched parts of the AO 2009 final.
Federer 13 GS then. Wasn't able to get his 14 and same as Pete. Lost to Rafa.
Will history repeat itself?

that was an awesome final. they went toe to toe for 4 long sets before Federer was to be tamed that day.


I rate that as one of the best hard court matches I have ever seen. the quality of play was very high for 4 long sets.


my own prediction is that nadal is going to be able to make history there. it is just 56 days away now.

that also partly explains why he keeps playing. he has exos planned with ferru and nole in south America soon.

It will be one of the most interesting AO in a long time.
56 days... only! Get a bit nervous already!

The draw... which side will Andy go? Rafa or Novak side? Andy has a bigger chance winning Novak than Rafa I think.

andy will be very hungry to compete at a grand slam again.

he has lost 3 finals there so we know he brings extra motivation with him.


no telling how the draw might work out. I guess ideally, if one is a rafa fan, nole and andy need to be in the same 1/2.

for the nole fans, they would want andy to be in nadal`s 1/2.

I also think we cannot count Federer out. he still has a big game. he could put it all together and end up in the final there.
