Andy Murray and Andy Roddick have put in quiet bids for spots in next week's elite Australian Open tune-up at Melbourne Kooyong club, leaving the eight-man special event with an embarrassment of choice.
Federer has long been promised a spot should he desire to continue his habit of using the guaranteed matches at the four-day tournament as his final tune-up for the Grand Slam which starts in a fortnight. His management has promised a decision within a few days.
Meanwhile, Murray and Roddick, competing on opposite sides of Australia, have both put in bids, with Murray considering asking for a practise match. Logistics could be complicated as 2008 Aussie Open finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga battles a wrist injury which has forced him from two events already in the New Year.
"The plan is to go to Melbourne and maybe play a match at Kooyong," said Murray at Perth's Hopman Cup. "I feel good. It's only been four weeks since London (year-end finals), so I don't feel like I've been away from the court too long."
Roddick has played Kooyong before and is headlining in Brisbane this week.
The Kooyong field already includes Novak Djokovic, Juan Del Potro, Fernando Verdasco, Robin Soderling, Tommy Haas, Fernando Gonzalez and Tsonga.
