For the first time since 1999, Nadal and Federer will not participate in the Australian Open, but that does not mean that there will not be interesting matches. Novak Djokovic is the first favorite for the title, which would be his 25th Grand Slam title, but before the end of the last season it became clear that this time there will be strong competition.

The Serbian will start his title defense against a qualifier whose name he will learn later. In the second round, he will play against Popirin or Polmans, and in the third, a duel with Andy Murray is possible. Further, until the final, if there are no surprises, he would play with Tsitsipas, Wawrinka, then Tsitsipas and Siner, whom he lost to at the final Masters in Turin. Djokovic appears to have an easy task until the semi-finals in Melbourne.
