I didn't hear the whole thing (the beginning) he took the mickey out of Nole's ball bouncing (very brave and original!), I think the interviewer asked him what he thought of the new time rule, and he supported it.

Ferrer with Tisparevic in the same quarter (same as USO), JJ in the same quarter having a kind draw for the first few rounds.

Tipsarevic-Hewitt in the first round too, night slot on Laver, could go to 5 sets...

No, he is in Ferrer's quarter, playing Bennetteau first.
Compared to Djokovic and Federer, number one and two players, Ferrer and Murray really have a cakecup draw.

Absence of a formidable player like Nadal has put a huge imbalance in the draw. I don't miss Nadal but I do miss a competitor player like him. Else it becomes a cake-walk draw till the finals for 1 player.

Federer has been the most unlucky player in the history of tennis.

Perhaps. Every possible thing was done to produce a match for him and provide others a better chance. This AO draw is very tough for him, all the players who can trouble him are in his side of the draw.

1. Praire
2. Davydenko
3. Tomic
4. Raonic
QF. Tsonga

Thats a tough road just to reach the Semis.
Then possibly Murray and the Djo. This is as tough as it could have got for him. Nonetheless Wishing him all the best.

Murray:

1. Hasse. (If Hasse can get his act absolutely right, it could be end for Murray right here )
If he crosses it, till QF its a virtual walkover.

QF: Delpo. though Murray handles him well enough. But its could be possible we get an improved Delpo. But just as likely is seeing a injured Delpo. In the latter case, Murray's walk-in-the park will continue for one more round.

3. Ferrer: No body he can't get past till the semis. His resume has greatly improved Slam-wise with Nadal's absence.

4. Djokovic: Imbalance in the playing field has greatly started to help him now. He will stroll to the finals. He really needs to put an effort to lose early, else he just can't.

To me they seem comparable. Fed's is the hardest by far, but both Nole and Murray have similarly difficult ones. Of course, between Nole and Murray you have to compare only through QF. Obviously, Nole has far the easier SF, but that is not due to the draw but due to the seeding.

Second quarter has both the weakest top seed (Ferrer) and the weakest second seed (Tipsy). Maybe a chance for one of the youngsters to break through? Kei? Grigor? Of course, in the end it will be a Tipsy-Ferrer QF.

I do not think that possible opponents as Paire, Davydenko, Tomic, Raonic, Tsonga can beat Fed, but they will be good test for him. Delpo or Berdych would be much more tougher for Fed. Only Murray is unwanted as always

I don't know. I am intrigued to see what Tsonga shows up.

It is a crime for Paire to draw Federer, though this could be Paire's big chance to announce himself to the big stage Winking

Unfortunately, I think Tsonga made a wrong choice with his coach and I am not expecting much from him.

As for Paire and the big stage, well, that match is going to be most beautiful to watch in terms of shot-making and flair, that will have to be my reward and comfort draw - 2013 Australian Open Draw 1805953252

Couldn't they have just given Fed Ramos like they did in Wimbledon...or another Frenchmen (doesn't Fed's draw always get loaded with the French and Germans and Nadal's with Spaniards....)

Nitb, your "second" man has much to pay back to Fed from Bercy, so this could be a nice match, which also shows what potential Paire has. draw - 2013 Australian Open Draw 364988687 at the draw.

Latest info from Ivan was just that he pushes Andy to play more aggressive tennis. It looks that six women is enough for Ivan to stay at home, so he will definitely enjoy Australian open after a long time he has been there.
