Will it be third time lucky for Andy Murray? He'll certainly hope so.
The 2010 and 2011 runner-up looks in good shape for another title bid in Melbourne.
He won the warm-up event in Brisbane and appears in good spirits having recently linked up with new coach Ivan Lendl, a former world number one who Murray hopes will take his game to new levels.
It would be a terrific start to their combination were he to win here and Murray's record in Melbourne is certainly a good one.
An impressive all-round game is based on a counter-punching style - his defence is among the best - and the hardcourt surface suits Murray well.
The biggest obstacle for him to overcome is probably a mental one - Murray knows only too well he has lost all three Slam finals he's played, while it's now more than 75 years since Britain had a male Grand Slam singles champion.
"I know that he'd like to win the first title in British tennis in, what is it 150,000 years?" Roger Federer famously joked here two years ago before demolishing Murray in the final.
He'd give a lot to break his duck in 2012.
