Answer 1

The Australian Open Odds



It's a rivalry that has captured the imagination of the tennis world in the past five years, and Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are expected to slug it out at the Australian Open.

That's what the betting odds say, at least, for the big two are way ahead of the rest in Australian Open odds.

There's little to choose between Federer and Nadal in the odds, with both available at just over 3.0 to win the men's singles.

After that, you can get around 9.0 on third-favourite Andy Murray to land his first Grand Slam title, with Novak Djokovic next best and the only other player available at under 20.0.

It's no surprise that Federer has been made the slight favourite, given his superb record in Melbourne.

The Swiss maestro has reached at least the semi-finals every year since 2004, and has won four Australian Open titles.

His winning percentage at the Australian Open is actually only the third-best of the Grand Slams, which shows just how dominant Federer has been in the sport since 2003 when he won Wimbledon for the first time.

Federer's all-time Australian Open record stands at 54 wins and seven losses, for a career win percentage of 88.52.

Those figures compare favourably to his Spanish rival's. Nadal has won 25 and lost five of his matches at the Australian Open, since he made his debut in 2004, while his career win percentage at the tournament is 83.33.

It all looked set for a Federer-Nadal final in Melbourne last year as the Swiss legend progressed smoothly through the tournament as the top seed while second-seed Nadal reached the quarter-finals. But a knee injury put paid to his chances of making further progress as he was forced to retire in his match with Murray.

Federer and Nadal are the only men to have finished six consecutive calendar years as the top two players on the ATP tour, from 2005-10.

Nadal leads their overall head-to-head series 14-8, and has been the world's top ranked player since ending Federer's 237-week streak that had begun in February 2004, and ended in August 2008.

Of those Grand Slam finals, the only one to have happened in Australia was two years ago, when it went to five sets before Nadal came out on top, winning the decider 6-2.
