Rafael Nadal Is Poised For a Repeat Championship at The Australian Open

Found January 24, 2010 on bleacherreport.com:

One year ago at this time, Rafael Nadal was on top of the tennis world.

He entered the Australian Open as the number one player in the world, having broken through against long-time rival Roger Federer in the previous year's Wimbledon in an epic five set marathon. He followed that up by reaching his first ever US Open semi-final.
