With the release of the seeds for the main draw at the Australian Open, let's take a look at who is seeded where and what their chances might be:

 

1. Rafael Nadal, Spain

Definitely a worthy No. 1. Question: can he complete the Grand Slam? Along with Roger, an odds-on favorite to win the tournament.

8. Andy Roddick, United States

You can never count Andy out. He's won a Slam before and he's been banging on the door of winning Wimbledon. As long as he's hanging around, he's got a chance. Question is whether he can get throug...
