Roger Federer
Defending champion Roger Federer is chasing an unprecedented 20th Grand Slam title as he prepares to win a record-equalling 6th Australian Open title. He begins his defence of the title with a first round match against Aljaž Bedene. He then could face the German Jan-Lennard Struff in the second round.
The draw is not as kind for Roger as it is for Nadal as he might begin facing the well-known names in the tennis circuit starting in the third round itself, where Richard Gasquet could meet him.
The fourth round could see him facing American No. 1 Sam Querrey. In the quarter-finals, he faces the prospect of facing David Goffin, followed by a semi-final against one of the most promising young players on the circuit, World No. 4 Alexander Zverev.
When all that is said and done, we could see Federer and Nadal grace the court yet again as if the clocks stopped running for a decade.
