Nadal, Federer Even in Australian Open Betting

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are impossible to split in online sports betting odds for the Australian Open, which begins in Melbourne on Monday.

As usual, the top two players in men's tennis are neck and neck, as Nadal attempts to complete a historic Grand Slam. Several other contenders also have their eyes on the main prize, led by Brit Andy Murray and Serb Novak Djokovic.
