Mens Singles: In my mind, picking the Australian Open winner is based on who is busting their butt training during their short off season and who is not. Who comes to mind when you think who is on a mission and training like crazy? Rafa, right?! Me, too. However, as I write this, it is questionable as to whether he is even healthy enough to play. The grind playing professional matches has become unbelievable. On a hard court, I just can't see Rafa's body holding up over the fortnight. Roger Federer is known as the ultimate professional. That means you know he will come into this event well prepared. Yet at age 30, I think there are younger legs around him that will make it tough win this event. I'm very intrigued by Andy Murray's choice for a new coach. He is now being led by multiple grand slam winner, Ivan Lendl. Lendl was known as a no nonsense player in his day. He certainly won't tolerate Murray yelling at him while he plays like he did to his previous coaches. Is this the change Murray needs to get him over the top at a grand slam. My guess is not at Australia. This brings us to my pick for this year's Australian Open men's champion: Novak Djokovic. I believe he appreciates his good fortune, and knows that he has several other great players biting at his heels. Novak will come down under prepared to start 2012 where he left off in 2011. He is still the best player in the world.
Ladies Singles: I'm sorry but I'm still suffering from Justine Henin withdrawl on the women's side. She brought so much excitement to the game that hasn't been replaced yet. She had a true all court game and made for great contrasting styles when she played. It's great to have Kim Clijsters back but I'm afraid she may not be healthy or have had enough match play to be able to defend her title here. I don't see how you can pick Wozniacki as she still hasn't proven that she can win on a big stage like Australia. Wimbledon champ Petra Kivita would be my choice to come in second behind........you guessed it- Serena Williams. You've heard it before and I'll say it again: When Serena is healthy and motivated, no one is better.
