Australian Open draw – Well present in the draw, Djokovic inherits Kecmanovic in the first round

Once is not customary, it’s a Grand Slam draw to be taken with a grain of salt. Admittedly, it was carried out on Thursday and was formalized as planned, despite an hour and a half late. But an unknown remains and not the least: Novak Djokovic, who has the rank of seed number 1 at the top of the table of this Australian Open 2022, will he actually be on the court, he who is still under? the threat of eviction? Craig Tiley, the tournament director, declined to answer any questions on the matter. In the meantime, the Serbian inherited from his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round and could face Alexander Zverev or Rafael Nadal in the semifinals.
