World no.1 Rafael Nadal cruised past Hugo Dellien to start his campaign to equal Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slam titles dropping only 5 games in a 6-2, 6-3, 6-0 win in barely two hours. The Spaniard has won the title only once at Melbourne Park in 2009. Meanwhile, world no.2 Djokovic managed to overcome a 3rd set wobble to see off Germany's Struff 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 2-6 6-1 in his first match to start his title defense.
