At the Australian Open 2024, defending champion Jannik Sinner and ten-time winner Novak Djokovic have been placed in separate halves of the draw, preventing a rematch of their last year’s semifinal. Sinner will face Nicolas Jarry in his opening match, while Djokovic is set against Nishesh Basavareddy and could meet Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. In women’s singles, Aryna Sabalenka faces a tough start against Sloane Stephens, and Coco Gauff is pitted against former champion Sofia Kenin.
