Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton are in the house, along with all the other seeds from the top half of the draw.
The absence of both Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic definitely leaves some holes; it’s a matter of who might fill them.
Keep an eye on Canadian Gabriel Diallo and Cana-Chilean Alejandro Tabilo; Diallo gets qualifier Elmer Moller, and that’s a level down from some of his opening-round opponents in 2026.
And can rising young Spaniard Rafael Jodar take out Alex de Minaur, who is a Spaniard even if he’s also an Aussie?
