Original title: The 2022 Australian Open draw list released a number of golden flowers against rivals in the first round
The draw for the 2022 Australian Open was announced on the 13th. Although the aftermath of Djokovic’s entry incident is still unresolved, he still ranks in the draw as the top seed in the men’s singles.
In men’s singles, the top ten players in the world are currently participating. Djokovic and No. 3 seed Zverev, No. 6 seed Nadal, No. 7 seed Berrettini, No. 10 seed Hulkac and No. 14 seed Shapo who just won the ATP Cup this year with the team Valov was placed in the top half. No. 2 seed Medvedev, No. 4 seed Tsitsipas, No. 5 seed Rublev, No. 8 seed Kasper Ruder and No. 9 seed Aliasim are in the bottom half.
Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has not made further comments on Djokovic’s visa issue. If the Serb can play smoothly, he will face his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, ranked 78th in the world, in the first round.
In women’s singles, among the top ten players in the world, Pliskova, ranked fifth, withdrew due to injury, and the rest of the players will participate. The top seed Barty and No. 4 seed Kreichkova, No. 5 seed Sakkari, No. 8 seed Bardoza and No. 9 seed Jaber are in the same half. No. 2 seed Sabalenka, No. 3 seed Muguraza, No. 6 seed Kontaveit, No. 7 seed Swatek and No. 10 seed Pavlyuchenkova are in the other half.
In addition, the defending champion Naomi Osaka, who was twice “backward” at Melbourne Park, and the 2020 Australian Open women’s singles champion Kenin will also participate.
Chinese female players Zhang Shuai, Wang Qiang, Zheng Saisai, Wang Xinyu and wild card holder Wang Xiyu all entered the main competition. At the Australian Open last year, many Chinese Golden Flowers unfortunately stopped in the first round. Judging from the signing situation this year, it is still difficult for the Chinese girls to successfully break through.
Zhang Shuai will play against Swiss player Grubic, who is ranked 42 in the world. The two have played against each other three times in singles before, and Grubic has two wins and one loss.
Wang Qiang and Wang Xinyu will face off against two American teenagers, Gauff and Ann Lee, respectively. Gao Fu is the 18th seed in the tournament, and Ann Lee defeated Zhang Shuai in the first round of last year’s Australian Open. Zheng Saisai and Wang Xiyu will face two qualifiers respectively.
