Players to Watch For
Quest for GOAT ship - Novak Djokovic
There are never enough tournaments to win for the all-time great, Novak Djokovic .
The Serbian menace himself, Novak has done so many great things for the sport of tennis, on and off the court.
Making himself at home in nearly any event that he takes a part of, he will be looking to win everyone’s nods with a win in AO 2023.
His return to Australia is a great danger sign to the whole field of opponents, and they now must face this tournament head-on with no excuses.
As Nick Kyrgios has said “any tournament won without Novak in it doesn’t feel right”.
Keeping it classy and making sure his emotions are used the right way, Novak has had some eruptions down under in the past.
2023 is a new season for Novak, why not start off with the absolute biggest bang possible?
Top 5 in Form - Taylor Fritz
American Taylor Fritz has beaten nearly everyone in his path for the past six months or so.
Big serving and big weapons to accompany, Fritz is becoming the player everyone predicted in earlier years.
Still with plenty of time to his name, Fritz has a great chance to make a deep run at this year’s AO.
Semi-finals or better is nearly expected at this point, and if he makes it past the first few rounds it will become possible.
Dangerous by nature, Fritz will be taking on risks versus every opponent, but calculated as well.
Home Crowd Favorite - Nicholas Kyrgios
NK is tuning into 2023 with a locked in mindset.
If 2022 was a preview of things to come, the hyper-talented Aussie will have chances to do big things.
He will be able to focus match by match and take things to his standards. If possible, Kyrgios needs to ease into these rounds with calm play and match time.
Once he believes his confidence is ready, it will become a whole different ball game for the rest of the field.
If he is able to reach the later rounds with efficiency, this could be the slam run of a lifetime for Kyrgios.
