Rafael Nadal vs Marcos Giron – Nadal, the sixth seed, was out of action right from August last year due to a foot injury. He returned to the circuit only two weeks ago in the 2022 Melbourne Summer Set and immediately made a statement by winning his 89th career ATP title. Nadal will now be hoping for a fresh start in the Grand Slam event as he eyes his second Australian Open title. With Roger Federer missing the tournament and Novak Djokovic losing a court appeal to participate, Nadal now has a golden chance to become the first male to win 21 Career Garand Slams.

His opponent, the 28-year old Giron is starting the year after a successful 2021 where he reached the third round of the French Open. It was his best-ever performance till date in a Grand Slam and the American would look to make the upcoming season even better.
