Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are the top two seeds in the men’s singles draw at the Australian Open, which runs from 18 January – 1 February.
The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, Alcaraz is chasing a maiden title at Melbourne Park, with which he would complete the Career Grand Slam and become the fifth man in the Open Era to win all four major titles at least once.
Alcaraz could only meet second seed and two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner in the final, with the Spaniard leading their Lexus ATP Head2Head series 10-6. Three-time major finalist Alexander Zverev is the third seed and record 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic is the fourth seed.
Lorenzo Musetti is at a career-high World No. 5 and is the fifth seed. Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Ben Shelton are the sixth, seventh and eighth seeds, respectively.
