This is the 4th time the two players NOVAK AND ANDY have met in the AUS OPEN FINAL with Djoko winning them all. He loves the place

Taking him to win 3/1( last years score ) at 5/2

PS Murray has beaten Novak twice in Grandslam finals

I think about two years ago I was hoping that Djokovic beat Nadal in one of the Grand Slam finals so Nadal won't be able to catch up to Federers record. Djokovic got a real chance of overtaking Federer record of 17 slams in the near future. One thing for sure I will be going with the Serbian.

Australian Open 2017

Its on the go and Djokovic is already knocked out. As always I will be going for Milos Raonic and I like the teen Alexander Zverev although they are in the same half of the draw. He looks to have a bright future.

In the ladies I like Wozniacki and Kuznetsova.

Tsonga is playing well this Friday morning as I write. Made a name for himself in the 2008 Australian Open after losing in the final to Djokovic.

Murray still has a few lurkers on his side of the draw but the other half open for Raonic or Nadal with Djokovic out...

Ladies draw still has some sorting out to do as only Halep and Radwanska out...Konta playing very well and Pliskova and Muguruza and Kerber and Williams (both) still in...Serena Williams will have poor match as she doesn't play enough to be consistently match sharp as at her peak so it depends on who she plays on the day...Konta or Pliskova could be the boogie...

Been great up to now.

4 old timers showing up in the last week

Federer into Semi' Dunno if he can beat Wawrinka
Nadal up shortly.
and then the willams sisters Venus thru to the semis and Serena up later.

i am hoping for the 4 of them to still be around come the weekend

would make for amazing viewing

federer nadal final would be leka i think,

two champions, trying to grab another grand slam, who knows, might be their last
realistic chance to win one.


took nadal at 35's and federer at 30's, some excellent tennis expected

Definitely the tournament for the legends that are the Williams sisters and Federer and Nadal. Great to see that all still have the will and desire after all these years

Suspect a very one sided final with Nadal likely to dominate...heavy top-spin forehand to Federer's single-handed backhand and will be difficult to control when up around shoulder height

Federer's only hope is to keep the points short because he will lose the rallies

It's come back to me why I went off tennis, all the noises when they hit the ball. I never ever watch woman's tennis because of this . Pointless using the mute button, well I do when Haysman is on the cricket as he never stops talking, as it takes away the atmosphere
