AO is really the slam where there are more than 1 favorite to
win. It depends on Andy Murray I think. Which shape he arrives
there.
Rafa won USO after 3 years. He can win AO again too.
Nole has the perfect game but this year he has more threat in
Rafa as ever before there. Rafa hasn't played there in 2 years.
He will be fit and injury free. Delpo I don't see winning it.
I am so curious how the draw will be!!!

> the title is rafa's......the last time he played he should
have won it but had a mental hurdle......this time it's going to
4 sets at max in the final even if it is nole on the other
side.......hardcourter nadal is pretty much unbeatable at best
of 5 on hardcourts.......so he's my favourite for the
title.......

welcome back general shanks.
he has some extra motivation. I think that loss at the O2 arena
is going to be the kicker. he will be thinking about it as he
starts his preparations soon.
[/quote]
he was playing at 60% capacity in AO 2012, the backhand was
still not there.......he will play close to 80% next year like
at the us open recently.......i am giving zero chance to
djokovic and others.......rafa 3.0 is basically unbeatable at
best of 5 on hardcourts.......
[/quote]
No player out there plays 100% of his or her capacity - not just
Nadal.
[/quote]
both your favourites do.......djokovic is always the same, his
backhand down the line works all the time and the defense is
never down......not much variation in level of form.......same
thing could be said about murray's game.......
nadal and federer have a lot of variations, both for different
reasons........nadal often lands his backhands in the service
box and his forehand down the line does not work all the
time.......federer's game is just about perfect whenever he
faces somebody who is totally capable of beating but his form
dips the moment somebody challenges him.......nadal's form rises
when he is challenged, like in the roland garros semis
2013.......

I see it, but I can't hear it. I don't know what's going on, but
the only place that my sound works right is Facebook. I use it
there to play Bejeweled Blitz and I need to hear it, ha ha ha.
But even on YouTube, it's so low that I can't hear it.
Very weird.

i have a feeling that rafa is taking it.
it is going to work out just like the u.s. open did. he could
not play there last year so he was eager to do well there. he
was focused and ready to make something happen.
it is exactly the same scenario in Melbourne: he could not play
there last year. and now he has some extra motivation for
historical reasons also.
he is going to want to tie pete Sampras and get it over with
before moving on to other quests.
