Federer is really an underdog this time.
Djokovic and Nadal Miles Ahead of Field Murray, Federer, DelPo Capable, but Longshots
Two men stand out here, and we all know who they are. If anyone other than Novak Djokovic or Rafa Nadal reaches the final it will be a stunning development unless one of both of them are hurt.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Djokovic has never reached the final at Roland Garros and totally choked against Jurgen Melzer last year, but in so many ways we may well toss out his entire career prior to the 2010 US Open when he really picked up steam and nearly won the tournament, falling to Rafa Nadal in the final.

It took only eight weeks of the 2011 season and as somewhat expected, the incredibly talented Juan Del Potro, won his first title since the 2009 US Open, taking down Janko Tipsarevic 6-4, 6-4 to win Delray Beach.

The following is my top 10 picks in order for which men will fare the best at the AussieOpen, which is not totally based on ranking.
1 RAFAEL NADAL
The Spaniard has been ill but should be fine by the time he strikes the first ball in Melbourne. Rod Laver Arena is a bit slower than the US Open and that will play more in Nadal
