CAN KING OF SPAIN FINALLY WIN AGAIN IN AUSTRALIA?

1/20

JUST one of Rafa Nadal’s Grand Slam wins came in Australia and it was 13 years ago. Since Nadal’s 2009 triumph, Novak Djokovic has won eight titles in Melbourne — but without the world No 1, the Spaniard stands a better chance.

WHERE THE BIG THREE WON THEIR 20 SLAMS:

NADAL — 1 Australia, 13 France, 2 Wimbledon, 4 US.

DJOKOVIC — 9 Australia, 2 France, 6 Wimbledon, 3 US.

FEDERER — 6 Australia, 1 France, 8 Wimbledon, 5 US.

SINCE Nadal last won the Australian Open, he has been knocked out in the quarterfinal six times, lost in the final four times and knocked out in the first round once.
