The Australian Open draw is out and there are no many surprises.
Djokovic
The defending champion (and hot favorite) has a smooth ride till the quarters where he is meant to play either Tsonga or Nishikori. Nole doesn’t have the easiest first round to play rising star Hyeon Chung in the opener, but the world no.1 should have many problems.

Federer
King Roger fell in Nole’s half. The Swiss Maestro will have a couple of easy matches at the beginning to face Balishvili in the opener and then Dolgopolov in the second round. The Federer should play Dimitrov in the 3rd (not good). Roger may face Kyrgios or Berdych in the quarters.
Nadal
Rafa had a rather good draw since he fell in Wawrinka’s quarter (arguably better than getting Djokovic, Federer or Murray). The King of Clay will face a not-so-dangerous Verdasco in the opener to possible play Stan in the quarters.
Murray
Andy has a great draw, but a tough opener (against Zverev) to possibly face Tomic in the 4th round. Andy may play Ferrer in the quarters.
Here the full draw.
