I'm a bit surprised that there isn't one already, with this years Australian Open, ready to begin in an hour's time, but here it goes anyway.

Thoughts on the respective Male and Female Champions?

Can the British Girls Baltacha & O'Brien make it past Round 1?

My tips are Roger Federer and Justine Henin.

Also Elena Dementieva is playing very well, as is Nikolay Davydenko.

Been watching this overnight whilst in work. Cracking match earlier between Ana Ivanovic and Dolka. Recommend people watch it if they get chance.

Federer was in phenomenal form this morning against Hanescu.

The Quarters should be cracking with Murray set to meet Nadal and Federer vs Davydenko.

And the Henin vs Dementieva match yesterday was the best Women's match i've seen in a long time. I'd forgotten how good Henin's backhand was, and she looks a good bet for the title.

Henin through after a scare and Murray has another straight sets win.

What happened to the poor ball boy who dribbled over the court? Surely they would have let him off in an emergency?

Murray v Nadal in the quarters.

Woah, Murray holds to take the set 6-3 in a game of the highest quality.
