SPANISH powerhouse Fernando Verdasco has completed the perfect Australian Open preparation.
Verdasco's 7-5 6-3 win over France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the AAMI Classic final climaxed an ideal week at Kooyong.

The big-serving left-hander didn't drop a set against 11th ranked Chilean Fernando Gonzalez, Serb Novak Djokovic (3) and Tsonga (10) to demonstrate ominous form as he moves camp today to Melbourne Park.

If he can maintain the rhythm with his vicious, topspin ground strokes, Verdasco is a strong chance to improve on his Australian Open semi-final last time when he pushed eventual champion Rafael Nadal to five tight sets in the longest match in the championships' history.

"I hope this is going to help me, these three wins in four days and doing it in tough conditions," the Open's ninth seed said.
