Australian Open draw

The draw for the Australian Open took place today. In Roger's 45th consecutive participation in a Grand Slam tournament, he will meet Lukas Lacko for the first time in the first round. The Slovak had all eyes on him as he took a set 6-0 against Rafael Nadal in the tournament in Doha, before finally losing the secound-round match 6-7, 6-0, 3-6.

If all goes well for our defending champion, he could face Frenchman Gaël Monfils in the third round and in the quarter-finals he could be seen battling with Andy Roddick. After that, the semis is a likely duel with Novak Djokovic before a final battle between Nadal and Roger could not be ruled out, if all goes well for these two champions.
