Australian Open 2022 Day 1: Order of Play for Monday, 17th January 2022

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka

The stage is set for the first grand slam of the year. Players have tuned up for the 2022 Australian Open and are motivated to start the season on a positive note. The build around the megaevent Down Under has been unreal for both positive and negative reason. The focus has mainly been on Novak Djokovic- who is currently in a virtual legal battle with the Australian government.

But the focus will most last shift in tennis, as it should’ve been from Monday as the Round 1 matches of the tournament will begin. The top half matches of both Men’s and Women’s Singles will be played on Monday. Defending Champion Novak Djokovic, who is still unsure of competing is scheduled to play tomorrow if he wins the case. The defending champion in women’s side, Naomi Osaka too takes the center stage along with World No.1 and home favorite Ash Barty and 2009 champion Rafael Nadal.

Other notable names who will begin their campaign on Monday are Maria Sakkari, Alexander Zverev, Matteo Berrettini, Hubert Hurkacz, Sofia Kenin, Coco Gauff and Denis Shapovalov.
