Wow, that soon, eh? Of course, Oz is hours ahead of us.

I'm hoping for a fair wind for Rafa, but otherwise, I expect to be posting at some stage during this slam. There's no substitute for match practice and he just has none going into it.

Am curious about where JMDP is in the draw, a horribly dangerous floater. And Nick too, if he plays...

A player like Nadal, does not need match practice, mate. His presence alone would be intimidating for most players, except his rivals. Please God, Rafa and Nole in the same half. ;)

Rafa-Roger same side, Stan and Nole.

Andy-Roger quarter, Bird-Rafa

I like this so far, but I'm not getting me hopes up...

I know, Kieran. But as a Rafa fan, I LOVE this draw for him! Let's hope he is healthy and plays very well fingers crossed!
