Novak Djokovic
(RS/SRB)
THE LOWDOWN:
This year's Australian Open victory was Novak Djokovic's announcement to the world that he has arrived. By taking out possibly the best tennis player ever in Roger Federer, Djokovic showed he had the will and the skill to back up his big serve. Definitely one to watch in this tournament.
