The Aussie swing starts with two ATP 250 tournaments in Melbourne, named Great Ocean Road Open and Murray River Open. Alongside the ATP Cup, those are the last pre-Australian Open events.
Great Ocean Road Open gathers 56 players, with the top eight seeds skipping the opening round. David Goffin, Karen Khachanov, Hubert Hurkacz, Jannik Sinner, Nikoloz Basilashvili, Reilly Opelka, Miomir Kecmanovic and the Antalya finalist Alexander Bublik are the players to beat.
