After an unexpected delay, the results of the 2022 Australian Open draw were finally announced at Melbourne Park on January 13, Beijing time.
Originally, it was thought that djokovic, the world's number one in the men's singles, would regenerate the visa problem because of the vaccine exemption incident, but when the Serbian appeared on the men's singles signing list as the number one seed, all the speculation and doubts of the outside world disappeared in an instant.
Yes, Djokovic will be the top seed at this year's Australian Open, parachuting into Melbourne in a zero-warm-up format after a series of dramatic tests to strike at the 21st Grand Slam singles title of his career.
Judging from the final signing table, the world's no. 1 and the old rival Nadal, who is also the 20-time Grand Slam champion, are both in the top half of the zone. This also means that in the semi-finals, the "Dana" showdown has the possibility of being staged again.
Judging from Deyo's path to advancement, the first round will face Katsmanovic, and then the potential possible promotion path is, the second round Paul, the third round Soeg, the fourth round Monfils, the quarter-final Berrettini, the semi-final Nadal or Zverev, the final Medvedev.
For Nadal, after winning the first title of the new season before the Australian Open, the next Australian Open journey is also full of expectations.
Although the Spaniard has repeatedly said to the outside world that he is by no means the favorite to win the Australian Open, from the current men's singles pattern, it seems that everything is possible.
Judging from the signing table, as the No. 6 seed of the tournament, he faced Giron in the first round, and then potential opponents included Khachanov, Karatsev, Deyo and so on.
The men's singles second half was guarded by world second-place winners Dmitry Medvedev and Tsitsipas. Medvedev, who reached the final at the Australian Open last year, will face Lacersonnan in the first round, and then potential opponents include local players Kyrgios, Tsitsipas and Rublev.
For any Grand Slam tournament, the first round is especially noteworthy. At this year's Australian Open, the most noteworthy matches in the first round of men's singles were Berrettini against Brandon Nakajima, Murray and The 21st seed Bashirashvili.
It is worth mentioning that in the Sydney warm-up match, Murray won the second round with a score of 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3, and won the battle for 3 hours and 13 minutes. This time we meet again in the first game of the first Grand Slam of the new season, and it is worth looking forward to how it will end! (Source: Tennis House Author: Wu Li Fun)
