Novak Djokovic tough Australian Open draw

Tough luck for Novak Djokovic that in order to win his 7th Australian Open he will have to cruise through a tough draw.

The “only” good news for Nole is that he didn’t get Federer in his half, but Alexander Zverev. In fact, even if the German has recently defeated Nole at the ATP Finals, Sascha has been suffering from a hamstring injury that could make him vulnerable in the last stages of the Australian Open.

R1  – Qualifier
R2  – Tsonga
R3  – Shapovalov
R4  – Medvedev/Goffin
