2024 Australian Open Men's Singles Seeds confirmed led by Novak DJOKOVIC and Carlos ALCARAZ

With the conclusion of the first week of competition on the ATP Tour, the seeds for the Australian Open, scheduled to take place between January 14 and 28, 2024, in Melbourne, have been confirmed. The list is led by the 10-times Aussie Open champion Novak Djokovic and the Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz.
The main draw of the first Grand Slam of the year will feature 32 seeds, preventing matchups between the top-ranked players in the early rounds. The top eight are ensured not to face any higher-ranked opponents at least until the quarterfinals, including Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, Andrey Rublev, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Holger Rune.
Top Contenders Secure Favorable Draw Positions
n the event that the top players successfully navigate their challenges against lower-ranked opponents, a clash between Alcaraz and Djokovic could only occur in the final. Similarly, the next two seeds, Medvedev (3rd) and Sinner (4th), might emerge as opponents only in the semifinals.
The subsequent eight seeds could potentially face top-8 players only in the quarterfinals. Among the prominent names are Hubert Hurkacz, Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz, and Alex de Minaur, who will make his debut in the top-10 for the first time in his career after a solid campaign in the United Cup.
The seeds from 16th to 32nd include players like Frances Tiafoe, Nicolas Jarry, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Sebastian Korda, who pose significant threats to the top seeds starting from the third round.
The cutoff for the seeds was set at Jiri Lehecka (currently world No. 32), and in the event of a last-minute withdrawal, the next players on the list are the Serbian Laslo Djere and the American Jiri Lehecka.
Most of the 32 seeds won't be in competition during the week preceding the Aussie Open, with the ATP 250 Auckland Open and Auckland Open. Between both tournaments, only four players from the top-20 will be in action, totaling 12 within the 32 favorites in the first Slam of the year.
