The draw for the Australian Open began at 16:15 (8:15 Moscow time), Reuters reports, citing the organizers. It was postponed from 7:00 Moscow time due to uncertainty about the participation of the first racket of the world Novak Djokovic. As a result, he was included in the draw.
The first tournament of the season will take place on the courts of Melbourne from 17 to 30 January. In the first round, Djokovic must play with compatriot Miomir Ketsmanovic. The first racket of Russia Daniil Medvedev will meet with the Swiss Henry Laaksonen.
Novak Djokovic was placed in isolation after arriving in Melbourne. There are two specific complaints about the tennis player that are being discussed in the press. The first is related to inaccurate information in the tennis player’s questionnaire, filled out when obtaining a visa. The media write that an athlete can face up to a year in prison for false information.
