Brace yourself for Australian Open - the First Grand Slam of 2014

The defending champions: Novak Djokovic - Victoria Azarenka

Top tennis players and tennis fans from all around the world are arriving in Melbourne Australia to play and watch the first Grand Slam of the year 2014 - The Australian Open.

Held each year in January, the Australian Open sets the pace for the tennis activities for the rest of the year. This year, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams are being dubbed as the hot  favourite.

The aspiring title candidates: Serena Williams - Rafael Nadal

Serena Williams have had a meaningful tennis year last year and is being considered by many as the 'hot' favourites not only for the Australian Open but the entire year 2014. Last year, the world number one won the French Open and the US Open. Despite her age  Williams at 32 does not seem to be lacking stamina and will to lose her way forward. She now seeks historic 18th Grand Slam win at Australian Open — an accomplishment that would match Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert.

As for her form and fitness, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou believes that Serena Williams can become the first woman since 1988 to win all four Grand Slam titles in the same year.

It may be added that Williams, 32, held all four Grand Slams simultaneously when she won the Australian Open of 2003, but Steffi Graf in 1988 was the last female player to lift all four titles in the same calendar year.

However, there are some who question Serena's firness and ask Will Serena Williams' reign end? - well time will tell as Australian Open reaches its final.

Summing up ladies title, top 10 contenders to win in Melbourne, including Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka - the defending champion, who is aiming for a hat-trick of Australian Open titles .

As for the men's singles, although Djokovic will try his best to defend his title he won last year, he has Rafael Nadal all set to threaten him and is hot contenderer for the title this year. Although Novak Djokovic hopes Becker can help him retain title - Rafael Nadal, who has recovered from her knee injury is robust and reslienet as ever to take on the Serb.

It’s hard to bet against Djokovic though as four of his six Grand Slam titles have come in Melbourne. The three-time defending champion has the Australian Open down to a science; he opted to limit his preparations to exhibition events once again this year, which guarantee him a few good matches, before spending the last two weeks fine-tuning his game and arriving early in Melbourne.

As per the draws, Nadal and Djokovic are in different groups and are not likely to face each other till the final. With questions surrounding 2013 finalist Andy Murray’s fitness and four-time champion Roger Federer’s form, Nadal seems to be the player threatening the Serb his last year's title.

So we keep our fingers crossed and start watching the mega tennis year opener from 13th January which will terminate on 26 January.

Nadal opens the Grand Slam facing Australian Bernard Tomic in the first round.  

Movin' Sports will bring Free Live Coverage of all important matches as and when these are played.

World number one Rafael Nadal of Spain claimed his second victory at ATP World Tours Finals in London on Wednesday evening to maintain his status as world number for the current year.

Nadal needed two matches to win at London - which he did by beating David Ferrer and Stanislas Wawrinka.

So finally Rafael Nadal climbs to the top of the world after he lost the honour in 2011 as he played the China Open final against reining world no.1 Serbia Novak Djokovic Sunday.

It seemed Nadal was more interested in winning the world no.1 ranking rather than winning China. And the result of the final of China Open showed as he lost the final to Djokovic 6-3, 6-4. The win was the fourth consecutive win of Djokovic.

For Djokovic it was both achievement and a big loss. "I wanted to win against Nadal, who has been the best player so far in 2013. It's important for my confidence."

Though Nadal clinches the world no.1 ranking from Djokovic, he found it difficult to contain Djokovic from winning the China Open title for the fourth time. He said: "I couldn't see a way to stop him and he was too strong for me.

US Open champion Spaniard Rafael Nadal beat Philipp Kohlschreiber at the China Open to move a notch closer to regain his world number one title once again.

Rafael Nadal wins Montreal Rogers Cup

It was a one sided final at Montreal Roger Cup last night as world no.4 Spaniard Rafael Nadal beat his Canadian opponent Milos Raonic 62 62.

This was Rafa's 25th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown.

This also dashed any hopes of the Canadian Raonic of ending a 55-year title drought at the country’s biggest tennis tournament.

It may be recalled that Robert Bedard of Sherbrooke, Que., was the last Canadian to win what was then called the Canadian Open in 1955. Coincidently  he was in attendance to see Nadal claim his third Rogers Cup, to go with wins in 2005 and 2008.

Nadal wins French Open for record eighth time

It did not take Nadal long to successfully defend his French Open title Sunday today when he confronted his fellow countryman David Ferrer in the 'All Spanish' final of the Roland Garros.

Nadal's straight three sets win - 6-3 6-2 6-3 over Ferrer was not only a record eighth French Open title, but also a befitting tribute to his dominance on clay.

His 59th match win also takes him past Roger Federer and Guillermo Vilas at Roland Garros, while his 12th major title moves him above Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver on the all-time list.

However, the final was marred by a brief protest high in the stands during the second set that was quickly followed by an intruder leaping onto the court while brandishing a flare - something that never happens in Grand Slam event's final.
