🏆 DOMINANCE 🇦🇺 @DjokerNole, @serenawilliams and @rogerfederer will start #AO2021 with a remarkable 21 #AusOpen singles titles between them. Will more history be made in February?
The first Major of the season (Australian Open) will take place at Melbourne Park between February 5-21, gathering the world's finest players in more different conditions than ever before in Australia.
The players will arrive in Melbourne in mid-January and embrace a two-week quarantine, practicing only with a couple of rivals and having a chance to play two ATP 250 tournaments and the ATP Cup ahead of the first Australian Open encounters. If everything goes right, all the top-60 players will chase the first Major title of the season, including the six-time champion Roger Federer, who is trying to recover in time and enter the draw.
The defending champion and the record-holder Novak Djokovic will be the top seed, seeking the ninth Melbourne crown ahead of Rafael Nadal, Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev. Nadal is trying to win the first title since 2009, and Thiem is eager to go a step further than in 2020. The Austrian was two sets to one up against the Serb in the title clash, only to lose ground and suffer a five-sets loss.
Roger Federer reached the semis last January before experiencing a knee injury and skipping the rest of the season, hoping to get back and chase the 21st Major title in February. Alexander Zverev should be in contention too if he brings his best tennis, reaching the semis in Melbourne this year and hoping for more in less than two months.
