The official draw for the 2009 Australian Open was held this morning (Jan 16), with James Blake drawing out the mens names whilst Amelie Mauresmo drew out the womens names.

The first round match to watch out for on the mens side is undoubtedly Lleyton Hewitt vs Fernando Gonzalez. On the womens side, one of these two's rankings will plummet with Casey Dellacqua (2008 4th round) taking on Daniela Hantuchova (2008 semifinalist) in an unfortunate first round encounter. The 2009 Australian Open starts on Monday, January 19 - can't wait!
