Lukas Lacko, only 23 years old, from Slovakia, and ranked #97 in the world, will have a treat awaiting him in the first round of this year's first Grand Slam. An opportunity to play, arguably, one of the greatest players in men's tennis, Roger Federer! Lacko did reach the second round of this Slam last year, but this year, his hopes to repeat that are almost nil. The two have never met before. Anyhow, this should be a good learning experience for Lukas, and I hope he still brings his best game to the court so that he can see where else he can still improve.

Lukas Lacko - Roger Federer's First Round Opponent in the Australian Open 2011
