PublishedThe Australian Open draws have been released, with the first round set to begin this weekend in Melbourne.
Felix Auger-Aliassime is the only seeded Canadian in the men’s draw, coming in at No. 29. The Montreal native will take on world No. 42 Jan-Lennard Struff in the first round. If he were to advance, former world No. 6 lines up for a possible third-round match with current No. 6 Casper Ruud and a potential fourth-round match with No. 12 Tommy Paul.
“It's the only thing that's kept me in the game, to be honest, trying to get back to the top level of where I was, or trying to go even further,”. “When I stopped with my injury, I told my team, I told my family, that it's not interesting for me to be back and to be an average player. I've been at the top of the game. I've achieved a lot, I think, in my short career.
Gabriel Diallo is making his first appearance in the main draw at the Australian Open and will battle Luca Nardi in the first round. It will be the first matchup between the two. The 23-year-old’s potential draw includes No. 19 Karen Khachanov, who beat him in the Almaty Open final, No. 11 Stefanos Tsitsipas, and No. 8 Alex de Minaur.
