Mens final

We couldn't wish for a more fitting final of the first grand slam of the year in Melbourne as the world number one and two go into battle. Novak Djokovic has been hugely impressive in 2011 and has taken his haul in slams to four but Nadal will be bidding for his 11th slam which will put him into very elite company. Both players came through epic semi-finals to take their place in the final.

However all does not bode well for Andy Murray who struggled at times to beat his first round opponent Ryan Harrison from the USA after dropping the first set.

The first slam event of the year

All of the big names in tennis are in Melbourne for the start of the Australian Open which is the first slam event of the year. A players career and standing in the game are measured in how many slams they have won and no one has won more than Roger Federer in the history of the game.

Can Tsonga stop Federer?

Roger Federer has been the stand out player here in London in the ATP World Tour Finals. In fact the Swiss legend has been very impressive for the past few months now and even at 30 years of age, he still looks good for more possible slams next year and especially the Australian Open.
