The Australian Open once again got the tennis year off to a great start and whetted out appetite for the forthcoming season. The master they call Roger Federer once again lifted that famous trophy, sending out a warning to all his opponents that he's still the man to beat.
We all love surprise results in a major, and who can forget the phenomenal 2009 US open final when Juan Martin Del Potro beat Federer to lift his first major title?
There are quite a few players waiting in the wings to show us what they are capable of after showing great promise in 2009. The first one is on the women's tour, the American teenager Melanie Oudin.
The peak of her 2009 season was beating some big names to battle her way through to the semi finals of the US Open. With years yet to mature and grow as a player, she could well be lifting many major trophies in the years to come.
A young man with the aspirations to take Federer's crown is Marin Cilic. A top ten player at only 21, he has started this year with 15 wins and only 1 loss. Watch out for him this year to really rattle the top players. The depth of his game at this young age is staggering, and he can only get better.
Nikolay Davydenko is no newcomer, but at 28 seems to be finally getting the recognition he deserves as a great player. In their last three meetings he has beaten Federer twice, which will no doubt be a thorn in Federer's size.
Our next player to watch is a 28 year old who has been around quite a while but is literally in the form of his career. Nikolay Davydenko has had a career that has been overshadowed by allegations of gambling scandals.
Finally these are behind him and he is enjoying his tennis again. Currently ranked no.6, his recent form against Federer in particular has been very impressive. On form both physically and mentally, watch out for some great results from Davydenko in the coming year.
