Early predictions for the 2012 Australian Open (only a week before it starts!)

Be bold and make your picks a week early! Let's make it a little more interesting. Because it is so early, we can make a first pick, second pick and a third.

Here are my picks for the Australian Open: men's (Djokovic, Murray, Tsonga), women's (Stosur, Kvitova, Azarenka).

I know my picks are a little strange, even for me, but that is what my guts say. What does your guts say?

Is it too late to change my pics? Looks like Tomic is moving up the ranks...and fast!

Sure, everything has changed already. Doesn't make sense to keep the same picks. But you're not picking Tomic to beat Fed, are you, Sara? :)

Wouldn't that be something? I hope its a good match. Maybe we are looking at a future no. 1?

I love Tomic's backhand slice. He could hit that all day like Ken Rosewall did in his day.

Well, there goes my third pick, Tsonga!! Well, I have two left of my original picks (Murray and Djoko) and (Azarenka and Kvitova).

Phew I'm glad Maria was able to squeak out that win.

Wow, it did not look good for her. Lisicki is a little clever, and I was up all night watching it on hahasport.com. None of these streaming websites keep the stream continuous. :( Well, the quest for tennis 24/7.
