 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and the entry list for the Australian Open for both the men and the women's tournament next year Has been released. There are some big names that are missing from this tournament, but there are also some big names that are in this tournament Maybe that means that they're playing. Let's go check out the big names that are actually playing and not playing So some of the big names that are actually missing from the entry list and won't be playing next year's Australian Open, Roger Federer Of course, he's not playing. He said that he won't be playing for a long time yet. Stan Vavrenka He's also coming back from injury. Bianca Andrescu has also pulled out of the tournament recently and Serena Williams She actually pulled out of the tournament today So four big names and Grand Slam champions who will not be making the trip down to Melbourne Well, let's go over look at the players that are actually playing the tournament or at least have submitted their names into playing the tournament Ash Barty the world number one. It's great to see her She's gonna be playing. Nami Osaka also confirmed to play which is good because we haven't seen her for a long long time So she looks to make her return in Melbourne and on the men's side the big one Novak Djokovic Confirmed that he is entering the tournament now That doesn't necessarily mean that he's gonna be playing the tournament because he can withdraw at the last minute and Rafa Nadal He is also committing to the Australian Open He's not playing the ATB Cup, but it's good to see that he's playing the Australian Open There you have it some big names missing from the tournament But some big names that are on the entry list and as I said before just because Djokovic is in the entry list That doesn't mean he's actually gonna play it just means that he's put his name into the Entry list which is just kind of like a confirmation of who's interested in playing the tournament He could definitely pull out last minute We'll probably find out over the next couple of weeks whether he will be playing or not playing when let me know down the Comments below. Do you think Djokovic is going to play the Australian Open? Do you think this entry list? Confirmation is actually going to be what he actually does and comes to Australia plays the entry cup plays the Australian Open We haven't heard from Djokovic. I'm waiting for Djokovic to say that he is actually playing until I hear him say the words I don't know. I'm still skeptical. Let me know down in the comments below though Do you think Djokovic is playing in Melbourne? So the entry list is out with some big names not playing the world number one for both the men and the women They've confirmed that they're on the entry list
