World No. 1 Rafael Nadal of Spain Defeated Swiss Roger Federer by 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2 to lift the Men's Trophy

Before the greatest tennis players in the world migrated to Melbourne, there was speculation that the two most highly rated tennis players were not prepared to cope with new, svelte young guns. After all, the number two ranked player, Roger Federer, may have won 13 Grand Slam Championships, but he had recently been dominated by the world's top ranked player, Rafael Nadal, and 4 consecutive times by Scotland's Andy Murray.

Rafael Nadal was highly regarded as a grass court player, but had been inconsistent on faster surface. Of course, despite his five Grand Slam titles, he was only 22 years old and had never performed that well during the Australian summer.

And, there was the tempestuous, flamboyant Andy Murray. Now, here was a fast court player. Granted Murray had never won a Grand Slam and despite his relative immaturity at 21 years of age, he had been impressive against Federer since the U.S. Open. Murray, the 4th seed, was installed as the pre-tourney bookmaker's favorite.

The 2008 Australian Open Champion, Novak Djokovic, was the number 3 seed, but was rumored to have trained poorly. He would definitely not win this year and the Serb would struggle with the climate.

The reason tennis uses a seeding system is that it works! Djokovic was not in shape to play. Murray's immaturity showed. Federer kept looking better and better. Nadal did not lose a set until the semi finals where he was confronted by another hard charging Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, who had trained harder than any other player for this event.
