Djokovic, Medvedev Lead 18 Of Top 20 At Australian Open
Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev headline the seeds list for the 2022 Australian Open, which features 18 of the Top 20 players in the ATP Rankings.
Djokovic will pursue a record-extending 10th trophy at the season’s first major, where he owns an 82-8 record. The Serbian has won the past three titles at the event and nine of the past 14. Last year’s finalist Medvedev won his first major crown at the US Open in September.
Nadal, who returned after a five-month absence to capture last week’s Melbourne Summer Set title, is the sixth seed. The Spaniard will try to claim a second victory at the Australian Open (2009), having advanced to the final in three of the past eight editions.
