MELBOURNE : While injured Nick Kyrgios will be a vocal presence on the sidelines of the Australian Open, it will be the home nation's quiet achiever Alex de Minaur carrying the main weight of fans' expectations on court.
Novak Djokovic is targeting an 11th Australian Open title and in the absence of injured Rafael Nadal several younger players are out to stop him. Here's a list of five men to watch when the first Grand Slam of the year begins on Sunday:
Carlos Alcaraz is raring to go at the Australian Open where he will seek to dethrone holder Novak Djokovic and secure a third Grand Slam triumph that would see him reclaim the world number one spot.
Novak Djokovic is once again red-hot favourite at the Australian Open as he chases an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title, but a wrist problem and the emergence of Carlos Alcaraz puts his all-conquering reign under threat. The 36-year-old from Serbia defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in last year's final for a record-extending 10th Melbourne crown then added the French and US Open titles to his collection in 2023. But he lost a pulsating Wimbledon final to Alcaraz, who is a different player to the one that last graced the Australian hard courts as an 18-year-old ranked outside the top 30.
Novak Djokovic is confident he can recover from a wrist injury in time for his Australian Open title defence.
Novak Djokovic's preparations for his Australian Open title defence were dealt a blow in an injury-affected defeat to Alex de Minaur in the United Cup in Perth.
After six years and 43 matches, Novak Djokovic finally lost in Australia.
PERTH : Poland beat China 2-0 to reach the semi-finals of the United Cup mixed team tournament on Wednesday after Hubert Hurkacz and Iga Swiatek cruised through their singles matches in Perth.
