Coming to Djokovic, the situation is not yet certain if he will be competing in the Australian Open 2022. However, if things go according to plan, he will be up against compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in the opening round to begin his title defense in Melbourne.

On the other hand, Kyrgios will be up against British player Liam Broady in the first round.
