Nadal-Doubt will play in any Australian tournaments prior to Australian Open
Novak-playing at Kooyong
Murray-Playing Hopman Cup
Del Potro-playing at Kooyong I consider

Not like final year Sydney had numerous headlining gamers like Novak, Tsonga, Simon, Nalbandian
What is up with it this year?
Thoughts?
