How do you rate Soderling's chances to lift the Aussie Trophy this year..?

I think he's playing some of the best tennis of his life right now , plus he's starting to mix in the one handed slice and taking some of the pressure off his two-hander much more often now, not to mention doing something which he never does...venturing to the net a couple of times !

Yeah,I think Murray gets bogged down 10 feet behind the baseline against ultra-offensive players, and Soderling is as offensive as they get..It should be an interesting match-up..

Soderling has no chance. If he is going to win he will likely have to beat Murray, Nadal and Federer all in succession and he doesn't have the game to do that. If he gets past Murray he will challenge Nadal and Federer for a set max.

Dude, I didn't see this and basically said the same thing ten minutes later. My bad.

Agree with all ya'll. Sod has too many good players to get through to win. However, that being said, I do think he can take out Murray. Murray may be flying under the radar, but since he got the beat down at last year's AO, he has not been the same. Sod will be too much for Bags.
