Also from the same seed ranking as above, tennis fans will not be able to witness the final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal because these two players share the semi-finals. In the other bracket, Alexander Zverev will face Tsitsipas.

In the first quarter-final draw, two big names, Andy Murray and Dominic Thiem, will face off in the opening match. The confrontation between Shapovalov and Hurkacz is also very interesting. The two winners of these two matches are likely to meet Djokovic in the third round.

Compared to Djokovic’s branch, this branch does not have as many famous players but also contains many formidable opponents such as Karaset, Norrie or Fognini. People are looking forward to the confrontation between Rafael Nadal and young talent, Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.

The third quarter-final draw could see a confrontation between Tsitsipas and Rublev. But before that, the Greek player may have to overcome Sonego, Thomas Fritz or Debonis to reach the quarterfinals. Similarly, Rublev may have to confront Khachanov, Dimitrov or Schwartzman just advanced to the round of 8 strongest players.

The fourth bracket is a battle of young players when A. Zverev can face Auger Aliassime in the quarterfinals. In addition, some other notable players in this bracket, including Sinner and Opelka, are all notable young players. “Old general” Marin Cilic will face many difficulties before Ramos Vinolas in round 1.
