Italy’s Jannik Sinner will be the top-seeded player in the competition, which will begin on January 12 in Melbourne. The 23-year-old, who is also the world number one, will defend his crown in the competition. He lifted it last year after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in a five-set thriller with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Kyrgios does not have a great record while playing in the Australian Open.
