Join TENNIS.com for the 2007 Australian Open!
With Australian Open fever upon us, here’s a quick guide to TENNIS.com’s coverage of this year's action.
STARTER KIT
Get set with our Australian Open preview section – there’ll be a full round of editor's predictions, from the early favorites down to a detailed bracket breakdown once the draw is out. You can get details on all the top names in the newly-expanded players section, which now features photo galleries as well as biographical details and tournament stats.
After finding out who’s hot and who’s not, check out the TV schedule to see when you can catch the stars in action. Bleary eyes are guaranteed – much of the live action takes place late at night for far-off time zones... Two-time Australian Open champion Jim Courier sympathizes with sleep-deprived American fans as he gives us his light-hearted assessment of the field.
Few countries have the tennis tradition Australia does – catch up with former wizards of Oz like John Newcombe, Roy Emerson, Mark Woodforde and Evonne Goolagong.
What’s more, just before the tournament starts, rising star Ana Ivanovic will give us her guide to Melbourne and tell us why it’s her favorite city to visit.
DURING THE EVENT
Follow the matches as they happen with our live scores and stay on top of the latest news by visiting the homepage. For more, keep the Ticker on your taskbar and get all the breaking news and updates at a glance.
The Australian Open page will house exclusive articles from the event on a daily basis, and Kamakshi Tandon’s ‘Travelblogue’ from Melbourne will have a more informal look at the action. During the second week, Peter Bodo will also be blogging on site from Melbourne with his unique and insightful perspective at TennisWorld. Meanwhile, Steve Tignor will hold down the fort at home with regular entries at The Wrap.
Finally, check in daily for our pick of the upcoming day’s matches and see the best pictures of the week in TENNIS.com's feature photo gallery. If you can't wait, the site's central photo gallery has the latest shots almost as quickly as they're snapped.
G’day mate!

 Aussie Bracket Breakdown
Don’t you love to see an unspoiled draw? For this brief moment, no one has been upset, torn a muscle, had a brain cramp, suffered heat stroke, or otherwise let us down. Everything is potential. We're free to look at names and play out upcoming matches in our heads. Blake-Moya, Safin-Roddick, Gasquet-Baghdatis, Mauresmo-Vaidisova: sounds like a fun couple of weeks, doesn’t it?
All that will be ruined by Monday morning, of course, when the first results come in and bring the inevitable bad news. Safin lost to who? Jankovic tripped over what? But for this weekend, anyway, we can imagine whatever we want and keep our dream match-ups alive...
