The Australian Open 2018 tennis rolls on and with the temperatures already starting to take a toll on players in the tournament in the early rounds, whoever is left standing at the end of the two weeks with the title in their hands is going to have had some kind of exhausting journey to get there. The men’s draw looks fiercely competitive for this opening Grand Slam of the new calendar year.
The big guns in the draw like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have had some issues in getting fully fit to take on the challenge in Melbourne. So it may just end up being a battle of survival of the fittest under the conditions and that could open the door for some of the next generation on the ATP Tour, like the much-touted Alexander Zverev and Grigor Dimitrov, to make a name for themselves.
It is Roger Federer who is the reigning champion at Melbourne Park after coming through some epic battles to win it for the fifth time in his career in 2017. He took down his old rival Rafa Nadal in the final over five sets and that was after having needed five sets in the quarter-finals to get past his Swiss compatriot Stan Wawrinka. How will this season’s tournament play itself out? Can Federer defend? Will Novak Djokovic be able to battle through for his seventh Australian Open title? Will Nadal win it for what would be just the second time in his career?
