Roger Federer's chances of winning the Australian Open got even better.





Defending champion Marat Safin and French Open winner Rafael Nadal dropped out of the season's first major on Tuesday because of injuries, eliminating two potentially tough opponents for Federer.





The top-ranked Federer lost an exhibition match Wednesday to Tommy Haas, but said he was confident an ankle problem that bothered him late last year would not affect him for the Grand Slam event.
