Jannik Sinner starts again in Melbourne against Hugo Gaston. With the draw for the main draw we get to the heart of the Australian Open, the first slam of the season: the Italian number 2 in the world, inserted in the bottom half, takes to the field to defend the title won a year ago and in the semi-final he could find Lorenzo Musetti (from this week number 5 in the world) who makes his debut against the Belgian Raphael Callignon. For the other Italians, Flavio Cobolli faces the English Arthur Fery in the first round, while Luciano Darderi, another top seed, will face the Chilean Cristian Garin – Lorenzo Sonego makes his debut with the Spaniard Carlos Taberner: a challenging first round for Matteo Berrettini against the host Alex De Minaur, and also for Matteo Arnaldi against Andrey Rublev and Mattia Bellucci with Casper Ruud. Among the women, Jasmine Paolini, drawn in the first quarter of the draw (top part with Sabalenka) will make her debut against the Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich, coming from the qualifiers.
