Australian Open 2011

A new season opens for tennis fans, and we quickly ran into the first Grand Slam of the year, which takes place in gambling -open-to-Australia / "> Australia and brings together the best players from last season in addition to some who seek to recover and provide the best version for this year.

The heavy favorite and who will open the meetings is Rafa Nadal , currently world No. 1 champions in 2009 and this year will have the mission to stay atop the ATP rankings , followed closely by the leader who was previously and recovering its level by leaps and bounds, the great Roger Federer , who in the last edition was crowned champion after beating Briton Andy Murray 6-3 6-4 and 7-6.

A step down is located Novak Djokovic , Australian Open champion in 2008 and closed a great year as a finalist at the U.S. Open 2010, having left on the road no more and no less than Roger Federer , and demonstrating in the latter instance a high level.

As for single women, are emerging as candidates for the Danish Caroline Wozniacki , and Serbia's Ana Ivanovic , who will seek to recover its level after a good end of the year, although the major candidates are the Williams sisters , after the title won in 2009 Serena Williams and 2010 and both having reached the championship in the Women Doubles category.
