All eyes were on Djokovic’s entry into the tournament. The nine-time champions didn’t play in Melbourne last year after being famously deported from Australia ahead of the event for not being unconcerned against COVID-19. She entered this year’s tournament as the No. 4 seed, despite winning 40 of her last 43 singles matches.
He has been almost flawless in Melbourne so far. He has lost only one set in five matches and that was in a tiebreak. She sets up her first serves in games 80% of the time, which is tied for 13th in the field.
On Thursday, he will face Paul for the first time. Ranked 35 in the world, Paul had never gone beyond the fourth round in the previous 13 Grand Slam tournaments. His only career ATP title came in Stockholm in 2021.
So far in Melbourne, Paul has beaten two seeded opponents: No. 30 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in five sets in the second round and No. 24 Roberto Bautista Agut in four sets in the fourth round. Paul leads the field in first serve return points won (134) and second serve return points won (108). You can see Onorato’s best bets here,
