Australian Open Betting Odds Updates

Roger Federer, the top favorite, will debut at the Australian Open Odds against Russia's Igor Andreev, while the Spanish Rafael Nadal, seeded second, will premiere at the local player Peter Luczak, as the drawing was held today in Melbourne. Federer shares the top of the box with Russian Nikolay Davydenko (6), which would be in quarters, and the Serbian Novak Djokovic (3), whom he would cross in the semifinals.
