Australian Open 2023 – schedule Monday: Rafael Nadal starts, Jule Niemeier demands Iga Swiatek

Rafael Nadal is entering new territory. The record Grand Slam champion meets Jack Draper for the first time in his career, who, as number 40 in the ATP ranking, is anything but an easy opening opponent.

From a German perspective, the focus is on the duel between Jule Niemeier and Iga Swiatek. The Pole is one of the favorites and is aiming for her first title in Melbourne after reaching the semi-finals last year.

Daniel Altmaier, Tamara Korpatsch, Eva Lys, Yannick Hanfmann and Oscar Otte are also on duty.

With Daniil Medvedev, the finalist from 2022 will also be involved. “Daniil flies under the radar but is the third favorite for me”, holds Europort expert Boris Becker big plays on the 26-year-old.
