Australian Open 2012: Elite Men's Team Country Award
Every Grand Slam, MyFABETennis gives an award to the country who has the most number of players in the fourth round. In case there is a tie between countries, the seedings will be added and the country with the lowest sum will win the awards. In case there is a tie in the sum, the country with the highest seeded player gets the award.
For the Australian Open 2012, Spain reasserts themselves again, after losing this award to the United States in the last Grand Slam, the US Open. Four Spanish players get into the fourth round of the Australian Open 2012 - Rafael Nadal (#2), David Ferrer (#5), Nicolas Almagro (#10) and Feliciano Lopez (#19).
The other countries who had players into the fourth round are -
Australia - 2
France - 2
Argentina - 1
Czech Republic - 1
Germany - 1
Great Britain - 1
Japan - 1
Kazakhstan - 1
Serbia - 1
Switzerland - 1
Interestingly, the US who won this award in the US Open 2011 have no players in the fourth round! Also, surprisingly, Australia has two - Lleyton Hewitt and Bernard Tomic! Four other countries fielded players in the fourth round, while they were absent in the US Open - Czech Republic, Germany, Japan and Kazakhstan.
