The first grand slam of year 2012 starts in a few hours time. There seems to be no clear favourite in the men's section.

Third-seeded Federer, a four-time Australian Open winner, is on Rod Laver Arena in a night match against Russian qualifier Alexander Kudryavtsev.

No. 2-ranked Nadal [/b]has the last match on Hisense Arena -- the second show court at Melbourne Park -- against Russian Alex Kuznetsov.

Defending champion [b]Djokovic [/b]doesn't start until Tuesday.

Women's champion Kim [b]Clijsters [/b]plays in the third match on Rod Laver Arena on Monday against Maria Joao Koehler of Portugal.

Li [b]Na, who lost the Australian final last year but rebounded to win the French Open to become China's first Grand Slam singles champion, has a first-round match against Ksenia Pervak of Kazakhstan and No. 1-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, still searching for a maiden major title, faces Australia's Anastasia Rodionova.

Who will win the Aussie Open?

I agree but they've made Evra look so ordinary.

His body already aching after a season of almost unceasing success, Novak Djokovic ran into a brick wall in David Ferrer.

Ferrer's relentless hitting proved too much for Djokovic on Wednesday, giving the fifth-seeded Spaniard a 6-3, 6-1 win and a spot in the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals.

"I think today maybe was my best match of the season," Ferrer said.

Roger Federer raced to one of his easiest wins over rival Rafael Nadal, routing the Spaniard 6-3, 6-0 Tuesday to ensure a semifinal berth at the ATP World Tour Finals.

From 3-2 in the first set, Federer ran away with it and not even Nadal's trademark defensive abilities could handle the pace and accuracy of the 16-time Grand Slam champion's forehand.

The 26th match between the former No. 1s was over in exactly one hour. Federer finished with 28 winners to Nadal's four.

With one match to play in Group B, Federer is assured of a place in the semifinals as he targets a record sixth title at the season-ending event.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga earlier kept alive his hopes of reaching the last four by beating Mardy Fish 7-6 (4), 6-1.

Djokovic survives. He scrapped past Berdych 3-6, 6-3, 7-6.

LONDON -- David Ferrer pulled off the first upset of the ATP World Tour Finals with a 6-4, 7-5 victory Monday over Andy Murray, whose groin injury might force him to quit the season-ending tournament.

Rafa Nadal opened his account at the ATP World Tour Finals with a 6-2 3-6 7-6 defeat of American Mardy Fish in a late-night thriller at the O2 on Sunday to join great rival Roger Federer at the top of Group B.

Nadal will now face Federer on Tuesday in what will be their first clash in round-robin play.

LONDON -- Roger Federer weathered a barrage of big hitting by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France to begin his title defense with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 win Sunday in the opening match of the ATP World Tour Finals.
