- World No 8 to face Botic van de Zandschulp in first round
- Kyrgios to make grand slam return against Jacob Fearnley
Eighth-seed Alex de Minaur faces a tough start to his Australian Open tilt after drawing former world 22 Botic van de Zandschulp in the first round, with a potential match-up against top seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals.
The draw for the Australian Open was made on Thursday ahead of the start of tournament on Sunday. De Minaur is hoping to become the first Australian to win the men’s singles at his home grand slam since Mark Edmondson in 1976.
