"He had a good year last year, now he is number three in the world and people will be coming after him," said Roddick.
Local favourite Lleyton Hewitt, who has long campaigned for Australian Open organisers to speed up the courts, could struggle on the new Plexicushion courts with several players indicating they think they are slower than the old Rebound Ace surface.
Hewitt's preparations also suffered with a loss to compatriot Chris Guccione at the Sydney International tournament.
He has also not beaten Federer since a Davis Cup match in 2003, though that stomach virus may be the key to Hewitt becoming the first local man to lift the Australian Open trophy since 1976.
