Nine-time champion Novak Djokovic will get to compete in Melbourne following his unfortunate deportation last year, and could face the always-dangerous Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals. The Russian has one win over the Serbian in three meetings, and could see this as an opportunity to announce his intentions as a serious contender.

The final quarterfinal could see top-ranked American Taylor Fritz take on former World No.2 Casper Ruud, with the Norwegian hoping to reach yet another Grand slam final. After falling at the last stage at the French Open and US Open last year, Ruud is looking to reach another final and finally claim his maiden Major title.
