This year sees the Australian Open return to some sort of semblance of normality with Novak Djokovic back as favourite and in the country without restriction as he had his ban overturned.

Defending champion is Rafael Nadal who stole a march with Djokovic not in the country and will be one of his main rivals albeit with an ATP field that is relatively undercooked. Carlos Alcaraz, the World Number One hasn't played in 2023, Holger Rune and Nick Kyrgios among others are similar.

All will remain protagonists for the title but will potentially aid some shocks in the opening rounds.

WTA wise, there is no defending champion with Ashleigh Barty retired and now pregnant with her first child. Iga Swiatek who has been utterly imperious barring Wimbledon since her reign began as World Number One will look to add another Grand Slam to her collection.

The likes of Jessica Pegula, Ons Jabeur, Aryna Sabalenka, Maria Sakkari and even Emma Raducanu, Leylah Fernandez and Naomi Osaka if she is involved will look to stop that charge.
