Men’s Singles Draws
Novak Djokovic leads first quarter
Novak Djokovic is the top seed and he headlines the first quarter of the draw. The Serbian will begin his campaign against a qualifier. Djokovic has so far remained unbeaten in 2023. Having won the Adelaide International and Australian Open title, the World No.1 is now aiming hat-trick of titles this year.
The only other seeded player in this quarter is fifth seed Hubert Hurkacz. Hurkacz will be facing a big challenge in the first round as he is set to clash against Andy Murray.

If Murray manages to make it to the quarterfinals, he is likely to set up a blockbuster contest against Novak Djokovic.
