What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another Draw Preview and we have the big one. It's the Australian Open and we are going to be going through the Men's tournament for the Australian Open. We have some massive first round matches and also some quarterfinal matchups as well. Let's go to the withdrawals. All the players that have pulled out from this event, we have Fakina pulling out, we have Carl Edmund also pulling out. Roger Federer, of course, he's not playing. Garen, Gaskay, Isna, Johnson, Cole Schreiber is not playing. Sosa, Songa and Vadasco will be missing from the 2021 event. Okay, so let's have a look at the top of the draw. Of course, Novak Djokovic is the number one seed and he will be playing against Jeremy Shadi in the first round, who's in a little bit of form in 2021. So that'll be a fun first round matchup. I expect Djokovic to win, but don't be surprised if Shadi gets a set off him. The winner of that's going to play either TFO or Trevalier in the second round. Then you've got Opelka versus Lu. The winner of that's going to play either Ramos Vanoles or the number 27 seed, Fritz in the second round. So Djokovic has got to be happy with that little part of the draw. Then you've got Vavrinka versus Soza. The winner of that's going to play either Fuchovic or the wild card from Australia, Pullmans in the second round. Then you've got Mutey versus Milman. And the winner of that's going to play either Coria or the number 14 seed, Raunich in that second round. So you can already see that the Djoker is going to have to get through Stan the Man or Milosh Raunich, not to mention some of the Americans, the young Americans that are in his part of the draw. So we have potential fourth round match between Djokovic and Vavrinka. They played some epics in the Australian Open. In the past, could we be getting another one of those in the fourth round of this year's event? Second part of the draw now, we have Gail Moffis. The number 10 seed up the top, he versus Russoveri in the first round. Winner of that plays either Nishioca or Martinez in the second round. Then you've got Betonay versus Bublek. The winner of that's going to play either the qualifier, Stokovsky or the number 23 seed, Lyovic in the second round. Then you've got number 32 seed, Manorino versus Novak. The winner of that's going to play either Kicmenovic or Murchizac in the second round. Then you've got Daniel versus Kressi. The winner of that's going to play either Giron or the number six seed, Zashas Varev. So straight away you can see there, potentially fourth round matchup between Zverev and Moffis. But we've got to remember that this part of the draw, the winner will play the winner of the top part of the draw, which means Djokovic's Varev could be a quarter final and we've just seen them play at the ATB Cup in an absolute epic. So we could be getting a replay of that in a couple of weeks time in that quarter final. Next part of the draw now, it's Dominic team, the number three seed, he versus Kokushkin in the first round. He'll play the winner of Copford versus Dillion in the second round. He's not a bad start for team. Then you've got the qualifier, Silva versus one of the most dangerous unseater players in any event. Nick Kereos, I know he's under an injury cloud, but he loves to play in front of the big crowds. He loves to play the big names. So watch out. He gets Silva first round. Winner of that's going to play either Uchiyama or the number 29 seed Umbair in the second round. Then you've got Dimitrov versus Chilich, the number 18 seed Dimitrov, versus the former U.S. Open champion. That is going to be a huge matchup first round. That's one of the popcorn matches for the first round. Winner of that's going to play either Bolt or Gombas in the second round. Then you've got Coppa Jains versus Vesely in the first round. The winner of that's going to play another popcorn first round match, Nishikori unseated versus Karino Buster in the number 15 seed. So that's going to be a lot of fun as well. Nishikori versus Buster, very fun, but you can see straight away, Nick Kirios, Dominic team, third round. That could happen. He has to get through Umbair just Kirios, which I think he can. All right, rounding out the top half of the draw now, we've got another great first round matchup, number 11 seed Shapovalov versus Sinner in the first round. Battle of the Young Guns. Winner of that's going to play either Sigida or Tomic in the second round. Then you've got Jumher versus Duckworth. Winner of that's going to play either Steib or the number 20 seed FAA, Oji Alias Seem. So there could be a battle of the Young Canadians happening very early. Then you've got the number 25 seed Pair versus Jurissimov. Winner of that's going to play either Major or Carrotsev in the second round. Then you've got Delbonus versus Londero. Winner of that's going to play either Jumher or the number eight seed Schwartzman in the second round. So Shapovalov versus FAA. Battle of the Canadians, that could be a lot of fun. And remember that this part of the draw, the winner of this part of the draw will play in the quarter finals, possibly Dominic team. Bottom half of the draw, we've got the number seven seed Rubelev up against Hanfman in the first round. That match will play the winner of Montero versus Martin in the second round. Then you've got two versus Lopez. Winner of that's going to play either Query or Sonigo, the number 31 seed in the second round. You've got the number 24 seed Grood up against Thompson in the first round. Winner of that's going to play either Basilash Vili or Paul, which is a fun little matchup. Then you've got O'Connell versus Strouf. The winner of that's going to play either Elbert or the number 12 seed Batistragu. So again, this could be an epic battle if we get Batistragu versus Rubelev fourth round. We actually might be seeing that at the ATB Cup if Russia versus Spain in the final. We could be getting a preview of that in a couple of days time. All right, next part of the bottom half of the draw, we've got Goffin versus Poprin. So Goffin, the number 13 seed against the wild card. The winner of that will be playing either Harris or Topogard in the second round. Then you've got McDonald versus Chekinado. Winner of that's going to play either Pella or the number 20 second seed Chorich in the second round. Number 28 seed Kronovic gets a lucky loser in the first round. Hase, the winner of that's going to play the Anduha or Alice in the second round. Then you've got Biana versus Balash. Winner of that's going to play either Pospisul or the number four seed Medvedev. And that is a terrible first round for Medvedev. Pospisul is a very dangerous player and when he's playing his best and he's healthy, he is a dangerous customer. So Medvedev is going to have to fight to get through his first round match. And remember the winner of this part of the draw will potentially play Rubelev in the quarter finals. So we could potentially get a Medvedev versus Rubelev quarter finals. Second last part of the draw here, we have Stephanos, Siddi-Pas, the number five seed up against Samon. First round, that's a very tough match for Steph. So Siddi-Pas is going to have to fight for that one. Winner of that's going to play the Kokonakas or Kwon in the second round. Then you have Vanda, Zanchul in the first round, versing Elkerez, battle the qualifiers. The winner of that match will play the Yamur or the number twenty-six seed, her catch, who is in a little bit of form at the moment, won a tournament at the start of the year and could be playing Siddi-Pas in the third round, which would be a very interesting matchup, potential upset on the cards there. Number nineteen seed, Hashinov will versus Vukic in the first round. Winner of that will play either Barenkis or Nagal in the second round. Then we have Mashas versus Martinez in the first round, battle the qualifiers. The winner of that will play another blockbuster first round popcorn match. Kevin Anderson versus the number nine seed, Baratini, that is a huge match. Can't wait to see that one. Anderson is on a bit of a comeback because of injury or through injury. Baratini, he's got to prove that he's worth that top 10 seeding and he has a top first round. Of course if we project this out, more than likely we're going to get Siddi-Pas versus Baratini. But again, maybe that doesn't happen. Hercatch, Hashinov, Anderson, very dangerous players in this part of the draw. So the last part of the draw you have, Fabio Finini, the number sixteen seed up against Herbea in the first round. Winner of that is going to play either Laksinen or Caruso in the second. Then you've got Quavos versus Cepi in the first round there, battle of the veterans. Winner of that is going to play either Sandgren or the number twenty-one seed Alex Diminor in the second round. So Diminor versus Sandgren, quarterfinals of last year versus the Australian young gun. That'll be a fun match there first round. Then you've got a battle of the Brits with the number thirty seed. Dan Evans taking on Kam Nori. Winner of that is going to play either Vashka or Safi Ulan in the second round. Then you have battle of the qualifiers, Mow versus Troitski. The winner of that is going to play either Jera or the second seed, Rafa Nadal who in my opinion has a much, much easier draw than Novak Djokovic. It's very interesting to see Rafa barely has anyone to compete with until maybe the fourth round or even the quarterfinals where he'll probably take on Siti Pasal Baratini if we go by the rankings. So Nadal, he's got to be happy with his part of the draw. Not too much to worry about until maybe the second week. And of course Medvedev's waiting up the top. We could get a Medvedev versus Nadal semi-final if the seedings play out. So there it is. That is the Australian open men's draw for twenty twenty-one. It's a hell of a draw. There are so many good matches in the first round and there's going to be some potential clashes in the second, third and fourth rounds. Going with my predictions now I predicted at the end of last year the Dominic team was going to win the Australian open. So I'm going to stick with Domi. I know he's had a tough road at the start of twenty twenty-one but I'm going to stick with Dominic team. He's in a tough part of the draw but I think it's manageable especially if Djokovic can't get through Vavrenka or Zverev. Team might have a little bit of a good run to the final and then he might play Nadal or Medvedev and I put him as the favourite against those guys. So I'm going to pick Dominic team. Let me know down the comments below as well. Who are you picking for this tournament? I'm going with team. I'm sticking with team. A lot of people probably think Nadal's going to win after looking at the draw. So the men's Australian open draw is in and there are some great first round matches. Not easy finale.
