Federer and Nadal in one half of the scheme

The leader in the world rankings Novak Djokovic will start against qualifier in the fight for the fifth title of Australian Open. In general the draw for the Serb is good and the only serious obstacle in the first week seems to be John Isner, with whom Nole can compete in the third round. Djokovic fall in a quarter with Milos Raonic, as a duel between the two is possible in the quarterfinals.

The champion of the last year Stan Wawrinka is leader in the second half of the table. He will begin his the title defence with a match against Marcel Ilhan. In the quarterfinals, Wawrinka could face the finalist Kei Nishikori again. Is it possible to play semi-final with Djokovic?

Rafael Nadal is the biggest name in the third part of the scheme. The Spaniard will have a tough opponent in the start, where will face with Mikhail Youzhny. It is possible to play in quarterfinal with Tomas Berdych, but like last year, Nadal could meet in the semis Roger Federer, who fell into his half of the scheme.

Federer`s last won of the Australian Open is in 2010 and he began participating in the tournament against Lu Yen-Sung (Taiwan). In the second round, Federer could face Juan Monaco or Simone Bolelli and in the third round some of the young talents Borna Coric and Nick Kyrgios. It is possible for quarterfinal clash with Andy Murray. Also, in this quarter is Grigor Dimitrov.
