Federer and Nadal could meet in the last four

Third seed Federer, 37, has been drawn in the same half of the men’s singles as 11-time champion Nadal, meaning they could meet in the semi-finals.

Federer could also face Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas, who knocked him out of the Australian Open in January, in the last eight.

Spanish second seed Nadal has been handed a favourable-looking draw, with another qualifier awaiting in round two before potential matches against seeds David Goffin, Nikoloz Basilashvili and Kei Nishikori, or Daniil Medvedev.

Djokovic is projected to meet Austrian fourth seed Dominic Thiem, who was beaten by Nadal in last year’s final, in the last four.

Germany’s Alexander Zverev is a potential quarter-final opponent for the Serb.

Williams and Osaka set for rematch?

Tenth seed Williams cannot meet another seeded player until the fourth round, where she is projected to meet Australia’s eighth seed Ashleigh Barty.

World number one Naomi Osaka begins her first Grand Slam as the top seed against Slovakia’s Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, with 2017 champion Jelena Ostapenko or two-time Grand Slam winner Victoria Azarenka awaiting in the second round if the Japanese player beats the world number 92.

Williams could face Osaka, who beat the 23-time Grand Slam champion in September’s controversial US Open final, in the quarter-finals.

Defending champion Simona Halep faces Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic in her opening match, while Ukrainian ninth seed Elina Svitolina has been drawn against seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams.
