[fishy25]

May as well get this thread open for the first slam of the year. For the first time in a while we have a potential semi of Nadal-Federer whilst Murray has a really tough quarter with Troicki, Monfils, Simon and Tsonga all in that 2nd quarter with Djokovic likely to await the winner in the semis. Will post the draw up now and then bets away :ok Novak Djokovic SRB (1) Paolo Lorenzi ITA Santiago Giraldo COL Qualifier Tatsuma Ito JPN Potito Starace ITA Nicolas Mahut FRA Radek Stepanek CZE (29) Milos Raonic CAN (23) Filippo Volandri ITA Lukas Rosol CZE Philipp Petzschner GER Cedrik-Marcel Stebe GER Lleyton Hewitt AUS Robin Haase NED Andy Roddick USA (15) Janko Tipsarevic SRB (9) Dmitry Tursunov RUS Qualifier James Duckworth AUS Mikhail Youzhny RUS Qualifier Andreas Seppi ITA Richard Gasquet FRA (17) Juan Ignacio Chela ARG (27) Michael Russell USA Igor Kunitsyn RUS Pablo Andujar ESP Matthias Bachinger GER Ryan Sweeting USA Rui Machado POR David Ferrer ESP (5) Andy Murray GBR (4) Ryan Harrison USA Xavier Malisse BEL Edouard Roger-Vasselin FRA Michael Llodra FRA Ernests Gulbis LAT Daniel Gimeno-Traver ESP Alex Bogomolov Jr. RUS (32) Viktor Troicki SRB (19) Juan Carlos Ferrero ESP Guillermo Garcia-Lopez ESP Mikhail Kukushkin KAZ Thomaz Bellucci BRA Dudi Sela ISR Marinko Matosevic AUS Gael Monfils FRA (14) Gilles Simon FRA (12) Qualifier Julien Benneteau FRA Karol Beck SVK Joao Souza BRA Matthew Ebden AUS Stephane Robert FRA Kei Nishikori JPN (24) Marcel Granollers ESP (26) Jesse Levine USA Frederico Gil POR Ivan Dodig CRO Qualifier Ricardo Mello BRA Denis Istomin UZB Jo-Wilfried Tsonga FRA (6) Mardy Fish USA (8) Gilles Muller LUX Alejandro Falla COL Fabio Fognini ITA Albert Montanes ESP Pere Riba ESP Philipp Kohlschreiber GER Juan Monaco ARG (25) Florian Mayer GER (20) Yen-Hsun Lu TPE Qualifier Steve Darcis BEL Qualifier Blaz Kavcic SLO Adrian Mannarino FRA Juan Martin Del Potro ARG (11) Alexandr Dolgopolov UKR (13) Greg Jones AUS Tobias Kamke GER Victor Hanescu ROU Kenny De Schepper FRA Sam Querrey USA Bernard Tomic AUS Fernando Verdasco ESP (22) Jurgen Melzer AUT (31) Ivo Karlovic CRO Carlos Berlocq ARG Qualifier Eric Prodon FRA Andreas Beck GER Qualifier Roger Federer SUI (3) Tomas Berdych CZE (7) Albert Ramos ESP Olivier Rochus BEL Qualifier Sergiy Stakhovsky UKR Qualifier Qualifier Kevin Anderson RSA (30) Stanislas Wawrinka SUI (21) Benoit Paire FRA Marcos Baghdatis CYP Benjamin Becker GER Jeremy Chardy FRA Grigor Dimitrov BUL Lukasz Kubot POL Nicolas Almagro ESP (10) John Isner USA (16) Benjamin Mitchell AUS Jarkko Nieminen FIN David Nalbandian ARG Flavio Cipolla ITA Nikolay Davydenko RUS Leonardo Mayer ARG Feliciano Lopez ESP (18) Ivan Ljubicic CRO (28) Qualifier Qualifier Donald Young USA Tommy Haas GER Qualifier Qualifier Rafael Nadal ESP (2)

Re: Australian Open Tennis 2012 Fired away with one early straight away :p Dimitrov to beat Chardy @ 1.85 with Bwin This needs to be taken straight away, as the line is a complete nonsense. Chardy is struggling, Dimitrov on the rise and there is a huge gap of class between the two. Dimitrov is an upcoming top 30 player (at least), while Chardy is just going down and down through the rankings.
