Adidas have released the brand new Barricade 7s, just in

year when the Barricade 6s were released, so what has changed.....?Article: 2012 & Australian Open Preview

any other Grand Slam and, as we have seen before, the tennis calendar can
deliver many surprises....
So how is this
Australian Open going to shape up? We are graced, as always with the appearance
of the top four, Djokovick, Nadal, Federer and Murray. Along with many others considered
to be the second division of tennis. However as we have seen before it can be
the second division players delivering the final blow.
