Personally i always struggle with the gaping sporting hole that is the Australian summer.
Sure, the cricket and soccer (football) lovers have their needs satisfied but what about the rest of us? Luckily the tennis has arrived just in time to tide us over till the footy season starts.
The Aussie Open usually grabs the nation's attention despite our nation's players (Hewitt) inability to make an impact on the world stage. Most people will be naming the usual suspects like Federer and Nadal as likely winners but i'll be keeping my eyes on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marat Safin as potential dark horses. Tsonga almost went all the way last year and is better for the experience while Safin is retiting at the end of the year so he'll be fired up for this one (expecially after getting into a fight in Moscow).
One thing's certain...i can't wait for the footy (not AFL) to begin.
