Novak Djokovic has landed in arguably the toughest section of the men's draw for the Australian Open
6 February 2021
The world number one finds himself in a quarter with a host of current and former top-10 players - Alexander Zverev, Gael Monfils , Milos Raonic and Stan Wawrinka - and could meet Dominic Thiem in the semifinals.
Women's opposite Ash Barty has a far easier run.
The leading local hope will face Montenegro's Danka Kovinic, who hasn't been past the first round at Melbourne Park since 2017, and potentially fellow Aussie Daria Gavrilova in the second.
Simona Halep, Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Garbine Muguruza and many other big names are in the other half of the draw.
