After a year that has seen him win three of the four Grand Slam events in 2010, world number one Rafael Nadal is the early favourite to win the 2011 Australian Open in the New Year

A win in Australia for Nadal would see him hold all four Grand Slam titles after following his US Open title win on Monday night in New York, the Spaniard is currently a best price 5/2 with Victor Chandler (£50 free bet) to win the first Grand Slam of 2011.

Roger Federer, who is now down to number three in the world rankings, can be backed at 3/1 with Sky Bet (£5 no deposit free bet).

But Novak Djokovic, who is now up to two in the rankings is as big as 10/1 with Boylesports (use bonus code MAXIMUMBONUS to claim £40 free), despite being a previous winner of the event in 2008.

British number one Andy Murray is 5/1 (also Victor Chandler), while Juan Martin Del Potro, who has missed much of 2010 through injury can be backed at 9/1 (also Sky Bet) - a price which likely won't last long as the Argentine is as short as 5/1 elsewhere.
