AO23 seedings

[Deleted member 629564]

It has been pretty much determined as there are almost no tournaments between YEC and AO.
Only Ruud and Fritz can improve their effective seedings (those relevant during the draw procedure), but Turin win is necessary to do that.
Rublev is locked in a 5-8 range.
Djokovic is locked in a 5-8 range if Fritz doesn't win in Turin.


At this moment:
1 Alcaraz
2 Nadal
3 Tsitsipas
4 Ruud (#2 if he wins YEC)

5 FAA
6 Medvedev
7 Rublev
8 Djokovic

9-12 Fritz (#5 if he wins YEC) Hurkacz Rune Zverev
13-16 PCB Norrie Sinner Berrettini


Everyone will be praying for avoiding Djokovic half.
9-12 bunch looks quite packed.
Any thoughts two months before the draw?

Hope Egg - Nadal QF

Hope Egg - Nadal QF

It would be fantastic if they end up doing that.

 

[joshuayuan]

This is why need Masters 1000 before AO.

 

[MeatTornado]

It's hard to even care about seedings at all these days. We all know Novak would still win Australia even as a wild card.

Screw Shanghai and give it to Sydney if the new united cup falls apart

Djokovic vs Nadal at 2023 Aus Open, don't care what round it occurs, just hope it actually happens

 

[Nadal_King]

Crazy 4th rd matchups which are possible-
Nadal- Sinner
Alcaraz- Sinner
Djokovic- Rune
Djokovic- Zverev

 

[TripleATeam]

It's possible for Nadal to draw Sinner, Djokovic, Tsitsipas/Medvedev, Alcaraz. (Same goes for Alcaraz if you replace him with Nadal)

The worst draw for Djokovic would be I guess Zverev/Rune/Fritz R4, Alcaraz QF, Tsitsipas SF, Nadal/Medvedev F. Would be hellish.

 

[D.Nalby12]

I hope for Dj - Ned quarters. It should happen..

Alcaraz out.
There's a huge shift.

I guess Tsitsipas likes his #3 position at this moment.

 

[TripleATeam]

Alcaraz out.
There's a huge shift.

Woah... that changes things. At the least, Tsitsipas guarantees no Novak until the finals, Nadal and Ruud can't see him until the semis. Big swings.

 

[TripleATeam]

Wait, so now the hardest possible draw for a top player is something like Nadal/Djokovic/Medvedev/Zverev/Kyrgios/2 other guys?

Damn, that's stacked.

On the other hand, the easiest is Ruud, Tsitsipas, Rublev, Cilic... big swings.

Ummmmm….I hear you but for me Nole is still the favourite and doesn’t have to think/worry about Carlos now…Mainly a win for Nole….

 

[TripleATeam]

Cool, good for you then. Still a big swing seeing Djokovic enter top 4 seeds.

 

[irishnadalfan1983]

A big swing but I just see it mainly making Noles life a bit easier….I am not seeing Rafa making it to the latter stages of draw regardless of seedings - however I could and hope to be wrong on that one

 

[Milanez82]

Norrie the dark horse of draw
Can he build on his historic performance at United Cup?

 

[Hitman]

Hope Egg - Nadal QF

It would be fantastic if they end up doing that.

Well....that's out the window...

 

[Hitman]

Yes, Tsitsipas scoring a big win here....from a potential quarter final with Djokovic, to not playing him until the final is something he will like for sure.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Well....that's out the window...

No way!!!??

 

[Hitman]

No way!!!??

Yes way. Djokovic top 4 seed.

Nadal will tie the Nadjokovic H2H at 30-30 at this AO, and hit the lead in the clay season

Put money on it.

 

[Deleted member 791948]

I never put money on sport, or not in the last 15 years. Never a good idea, no matter how sure the bet is.

Players outside Top16 to be avoided:
#18 Tiafoe
#20 Kyrgios
#21 Shapovalov
#30 Korda

Players outside Top16 to be avoided:
#18 Tiafoe
#20 Kyrgios
#21 Shapovalov
#30 Korda

Korda will be a very dangerous player for the top 8 in the third round.
Which of them will face him?
