open as well as just take one much at a time just make sure that i keep having my same routines and just trying to be in the best shape that i can be every day and you know you see how it goes while on the men's side well number one never thought of it will be going to retain his crown and serbian is stored against italy is paolo a lot i'd say in the i think around he could face andy roddick in the fourth and inform david ferrer in the last night it's finally coming off the back of clinching his title i think or clint out in this survey while jack of h. has yet to play a match on the a.t.p. tour this year and knows the brilliance of last season is going to be a tough act to follow. two thousand and eleven has been the best year so far in my career and. it's going to be very difficult to repeat what i've done. but look i've done it once why not twice you know why why not staying optimistic and positive about this about the whole season you know it's a start obviously i'm not. thinking too far away from australia my

focus is directed to this tournament and i want to start of the year well. well mark edmonson was the last australian to win his home ground swung back in nine hundred seventy six but the local crowd has a mean man to pin their hopes on one thousand year old but not to make enters his fourth australian open on the back of his maiden professional when the youngster took on america's top man mardy fish was an exhibition in melbourne and then wheat forehand down the line sorto make take a back and forth match six four three six seven five a timely based for the teenager who opens his grand slam campaign against spaniard fernando verdasco with boxing now retallack let's go is taking nothing for granted as he prepares to defend his w.b.c. heavyweight crown against derek to soar in munich next month the tally was a late replacement for his brother but the mirror was due to finish as sora however
