Big Names Waiting for Seeds: The Men’s Australian Open Tennis Tournament is Full of Challenges

Despite Nadal’s waiver – Big names are waiting for the seeds in the men’s table early on – Sports – SRF Jump to content Sports Grand Slam tournaments Current article Contents

If you are seeded in a tennis tournament, you are spared the big chunks in the first rounds. This is not necessarily the case in Melbourne.

Legend: How far will his artificial hip carry him? Five-time Melbourne finalist Andy Murray has never reached the second week “Down Under” since 2017. Keystone/JONO SEARLE

When Rafael Nadal announced his withdrawal from the Australian Open on Sunday, a weight might have been lifted from the hearts of some top players. After all, the 22-time Grand Slam champion could have been a first-round opponent.

But even after the Mallorcan’s withdrawal, the field of stumbling blocks in the men’s table remains large. No less than 4 former major winners could be drawn from the 32 seeded players. In addition to the Grand Slam champions Andy Murray (ATP 42), Stan Wawrinka (ATP 49), Dominic Thiem (ATP 98) and Marin Cilic (Protected Ranking), there are others with Milos Raonic (Wimbledon 2016) and Matteo Berrettini (Wimbledon 2021). Major finalists included. They all reached the semi-finals in Melbourne at least once.

Sure: These players are coming back from injuries or are past their prime (or both). But because they have a lot of experience at big tournaments, they are certainly not the preferred opponents of Novak Djokovic and Co.
