Nadal and Jankovic top seeds for Australian Open 2009

Thursday 15 January 2009

Seeds for Australian Open 2009 were announced today with world No.1s Rafael Nadal (ESP) and Jelena Jankovic (SRB) topping the men’s and women’s lists in what will be very strong draws.

Fans can expect to see the world’s best players at this year’s Australian Open, with all but one of the top 32 ranked men, and 30 of the top 32 ranked women seeded.

Russia’s Nikolay Davydenko has withdrawn due to a recurring heel injury; Maria Sharapova’s ongoing shoulder complaint will prevent her from defending her Australian Open 2008 title, and China’s Na Li has a knee injury.

The Australian Open official draw will take place at 10:00am tomorrow in the Skyline Room at Melbourne Park.
