The whole world noticed that Novak Djokovic was ultimately not allowed to enter Australia and will therefore not be able to defend his title at these Australian Opens. Dominic Thiem and Roger Federer are also prominent names missing from the first Grand Slam of the year. But Rafael Nadal is back after a long injury, having previously won a preparatory tournament in Melbourne, ATP title number 89. The Spaniard also won his opening match against Marcos Giron that night. Daniil Medevdev is the highest-ranked player in the tournament due to the absence of Djokovic, but still plays in the lower tableau as number 2 on the seed list because Djokovic was originally drawn. Alexander Zverev is listed at 3, Stefanos Tsitsipas is seeded at 4.
